I'm going to pretend for a moment that you aren't simply trolling.

In theory, the Leafs have more talent than they displayed (pretty logical conclusion when you look at their play in 1st half of season compared to 2nd half).

So if Babcock (who we all agree is a great coach) can make guys realize their potential better (get Kessel to commit to 82 games, get Kadri to get his head out of his arse, teach Gardiner some basic fundamentals of the game of hockey), then yes, there's a lot to be gained here for Leafs fans.

Stick with the plan.... 81 , 3, 19, 42

gotta go.

Yes.

It's the fact you payed for it.

The best was that report that came out one day that suggested Bcock was going to Montreal and was willing to learn French..

disagree.

2008 7th last
2009 7th last
2010 2nd last
2011 10th last
2012 5th last
2013....
2014 8th last
2015 4th last

we don't have more talent, we have always been bad. i can't understand why ppl say we are better than we finished. One year? sure. but not 7 out of 8 years. Team stinks, move on and start over

It's not a specific site... there are many usenet providers out there. I use astraweb.

The only problem is you need to find a good indexing site... I use a free one that's kind of hit or miss... but I can use it on my school's wifi, and get insane speeds. School throttles torrents.

Basically what makes it fast and secure is that you're not downloading the movie itself. You're downloading thousands of text files with a little bit of binary in them that your computer compiles into the full movie once you have them all.

You download a file that gives your computer instructions where to look for the files themselves.

Because each file is tiny, you get the speed boost from your ISP that they use to fool test sites like speedtest, and none of the information 'looks' like a movie, so they don't know to throttle you. Also you don't upload anything back into the system, which eats away at your bandwidth and is what really gets people in trouble.

if phil has any piss and vinegar. at least for ONE year he will show up in shape. And I'm sure he will.

I think it is obvious something was said to him though. You cant hid behind chubby cheeks.

Seriously...do we keep these guys now? To see how it pans out? Dregs was saying it. Now I wonder. TBH, I'd keep Kessel. Sit that (frank)er down. Buy him a membership to Good Life. Put up banning posters at all McDonald's locations.

Trade Dion, Bozie, and Lupul (try to)

I agree.

Stick to the plan. Adding babcock changes nothing to the plan. If there are no player movements and we go into the season with the same core. this will be such a leafy move.

So close to turning the corner and at the last hour putting lipstick on a pig.

Scorched earth is still a must.

Nope. I think that if he didn't buy in to the Shanaplan then they'd have not given him this money.

depends who they keep.

Phaneuf's as good as gone, and Kessel is likely out the door already.

Team's not going anywhere without those two.

This kind of feels like when we hired Pat Burns. Only problem is we're missing Gilmour. and Clark. and Potvin.

Relax and breathe, think clearly and logically. The answer is obviously no.
