GARTH'S CORNER: Report: Sabres, Leafs File Papers To Hire Babcock

CHEAP

Another Babcock blog

#Babclock blog no.12

It will be Crosby vs. Ovechkin for the gold medal at the IIHF Worlds.

Malkin, Ovechkin and the Russians beat USA 4-0 on Saturday to advance.

What? The man-child Eichel didn't bang home 5 of them to lead the US to victory. Given previous blogs, I thought that was just about a foregone conclusion.

I think he likely goes back to Detroit, but if he leaves, I can't picture a scenario where he chooses that dumpster fire north of the border over the Sabres.

Looks like you'll be keeping your 3rd round pick.
No sane person will ever leave the Red Wings for Sabres.

6 million a year may induce insanity.

When it comes to money, leafs ownership is already used to getting outbid by Pegula. And money is the only thing they have going for them.

Example?

There hasn't been the big rush of teams to hire him like everyone thought.

I wouldn't call that being outbid, I'd call it a (frank)ing Godsend

I think the leafs fans are the only fans in then nhl that don't realize the world of hockey doesn't bow down to them. Not everyone wants to live in Toronto. Not everyone wants to play for Toronto. I love the audacity of that fan base. It's hilarious. Why don't you dorks throw on a Steve Simmons patch and cry about how players and coaches would rather go to an armpit of america than the great Toronto. (frank)ing spare me.

Wow, that escalated.

As a city, I much prefer Toronto over Buffalo. As far as organisations go, Buffalo is in a better position right now due to a stack of prospects and few long-term contracts on underachieving players. Both can afford to pay mega bucks to him, so if he leaves detroit, we'll see where his priorities lie.

Also, Steve Simmons is a dumb (frank).

PS: If I'm in his position right now, I'm probably calling to offer myself to San Jose. Beautiful climate, nice city, and a team with enough decent players to be able to make a reasonable retool happen. With good coaching and a few smart decisions they could be back up to strength within a couple of years...

Terry and Tim Pegula? Since when did Terry divorce Kim and marry Tim?

Aww poor baby. Mad because you have All-Stars on your team and still can't make the playoffs? Lol. Eichel will take Giroux to the cleaners.
