*5" and 40lbs.


And I don't expect that Babcock sent him out to do that specifically. Especially not with Matthews on the ice.

lol, he was on the ice to get matthews a goal.

Babcock knew what he was doing by sending out Martin. You leaf fans have to take those blinders off your eyes just because it just looks like salty homerism for starting this melee and Babcock finishing it off by having his goon playing in the last few minutes of the game.

I think the strategy is that if you ban enough of us then the Leaf trolls don't have anyone to sh*t on and they stop coming here. Pretty effective when you consider it.

I seriously hope they fine Morgan Reilly for that embellishment when Burrows speared him.

Much better . 6'4 Martin 5'10 Stecher seems fair .
- VANTEL


6'3.

And no, it's not fair. I don't agree with Martin doing it in the circumstance at all, but I highly doubt that that was his directive from the coach.

Plus, sometimes challenging a diminutive rookie doesn't always work out, as Kesler found out a couple of days ago.

Just ridiculous .

Scooby has the balls to tell him take it to the leaf thread and gets a week.

I think it's called insecurity Vantel . The Leafs will get their payback sometime.

You got the cherry picking right. Repeat offenders usually get more games not a "no game suspension".

Watch the game, he left his feet he did hit his head and just reinforces what people in here say that the NHL is blatant is overlooking calls against Vancouver players.

Well, Matthews is doing alright. Lots of shots, just not getting the bounces at the moment. It'll come in time, I'm not one to exaggerate the goal-less streak, especially when he's still doing all the right things.

Your coach sent out goon to fight a rookie 8 inches shorter 50 pounds ligher .
- VANTEL



Babcock told him not to do anything actually.

It was posted before that the code of conduct is stupid. It is stupid but it exists. NHL not doing anything is the worst case scenario.

You know Canucks are coming back, you know Lucic is coming back .

If I was a coach and wanted to send a message I go after the teams top players not the fourth liners

Pacific Division is starting to settle in where I thought it would, Edmonton being the exception, I thought they'd turned the corner but didn't think they'd be this good this early.

What's going on in Dallas and Nashville? Johansen is killing me in the pool, and I forgot to start Andersen last night because we went out for dinner....fug

Dude I never heard of you nor do I want to become friends with you. I never go to the Leafs thread . I have absolutely zero interest of what goes on in there.

I am curious to know what made you decide this morning when you woke up to wander over here and enlighten a bunch of strangers that you don't know and spread your sunshine with us?

Not really - Martin is a guy who regularly plays PK for us, and who has good fancy stats at shot suppression over the last few years. Sending him out in that circumstance is actually quite in line with how Babcock uses his players. Assuming that it was done deliberately to "goon it up" is really quite a stretch.

He's always been a little POS and no ones done it yet. Canucks aren't built for retribution, in fact they're not built for anything, just a bunch of poop thrown together to see if it works....which it obviously doesn't

Leafs have 18 b2b games. The Canucks have less than that. Same way it's been every year.
