Last year was last year, this year is this year. "Last years" team is not this years team. Washington lost a lot of guys. Ottawa is still in tact minus Methot. 6-3 and without some glorious saves by Steady Freddie it would have easily been 9-3...since you know,,the 2 on 1's and breakaways were coming fast and furious.

So basically I can say that about all teams since you know....injuries occur on every team. What kind of reasoning is that?

So Babcock claiming his team gets caught "off guard" is wrong? Maybe we should give you the 50 million instead

defense.
Yes. This is clear. But how? They don't exactly have tons of options here. With what they have they will have to continue to score 4+ goals to win a game.

Have you watched the team play? do you even know who's on the team?

Babcock is one of the top coaches in the league and he would never go into a game unprepared. Caught off guard, seriously.

Who runs it? The same over rated 50 million dollar man that runs the whole team: Babcock.

Another 1st round exit coming right up.....

Soooo I jumped on this thread for the first time in a while and looked back a couple of pages. I see that User499372 and blexann had a pretty heated back and forth, Unser499372 was permanently banned a few days ago. Right after that out of nowhere this deadwood account starts posting for the first time since 2014, going back and forth with blexann again and the language/post style being exactly the same... anyone else catch on yet? lol

yup, i caught on awhile ago. earily similar to User499372, but he's been laying off the mummy and cupcakes euphemisms. i guess that would make it too obvious

LOL. what a crazy 30 seconds.

Ref should have called the no goal play dead before the shot was taken. Not Marner's fault Quick over-corrected trying to get back in position.

Tonight's game good enough for you? If you think Ottawa is going to finish ahead of Washington you are mistaken.

I don't think it would be a surprise if they did. The Sens are a pretty good team and the Caps defense isn't all that great this year.

Yes Andersen played pretty well against the Kings, now lets see him do it for a consistent period of time. :) Also Polak wasn't bad for his first game the whole year.

Not that the Leafs are exactly playing great defensive and all, but Andersen is looking really bad these days. I'm not blaming him for everything, but it sucks that even on moderately dangerous shots on goal you wonder if he'll stop or let them in these days. :/

I think Andersen is fine. You can maybe fault him for the 3rd goal, it was a great shot but he looked to be a little out of position. The other 3 goals were a result of really bad pinches, 2 by Morgan Rielly and 1 by Polak. I trust Babcock will make some adjustments and have this team playing a little more responsibly especially in their own end.
