A mullet of pubic hair.

Babcock being Babcock. So tone deaf sometimes. Spezza returning home to the Leafs and opening night he sits him against his former team in favor of Nick Shore?
Can you honestly argue Nick Shore is so much better than Spezza in preseason evaluation that Babcock has to create drama over it?
- floater_willy

definitely a bit of dyck move... and actually - given the Sens are dressing a troublemaker, Babcock could have considered dressing Harpur paired with Sandin for this Ottawa game...

'cause I'm guessing that's who the Sens will target.

He also didnt have Marner in his top 50 players list last year. He has bad opinions.

If Babcock all of a sudden isn't dressing vets because he feels their play doesn't warrant it I hope a reporter asks him to account for his deployment of Patrick Marleau for the 89 games that counted last season, because that is a guy that deserved to watch a more than a few games from up top.
- Deeps27

True.

But maybe on the other hand he just doesn’t want to have to do that again. Marleau - the fastest old guy, wasn’t good enough. Spezza - the slowest old guy, not happening.

Havent smoked it, but I have the oil based one. Hard to say if its hysteria or not. For me personally it does seem to put me to sleep more easily, so theres that.

Im still messing with the dosing tho.

Button thinks the Leafs will be a wild card team..


Bold..

Good to see I made the right call.

You’re crazy if you think I’m buying non-thc weed hahah...

Whatever cbd that’s in weed, will still be in my regular blend and I rarely get headaches. But sometimes I’ll get a headache if I smoke too much for too long.

Why is it that sports stations seem to never know when something isn’t good for them?

TSN’s gotta axe: Dreger, Button, Feschuk, Poulin, and maybe a few others..

SN: everyone.

16 years for other teams.

The Leafs owe him nothing.

I’m pretty sure babs benched modano in Detroit with 3 games remaining that would’ve got him to 1000 games played.

Babs doesn’t care about anyone

Edit; 1500 games, he played 1499

Bowen speculating that it’s two captains.

I’ve thight about that, not a terrible idea.

Dubas told him to change his approach. Looks like Mike did.

ok I joined HBSL, you (frank)ers are going down

Gotta love Leafs fans.

Babs was an idiot for giving Marleau too much ice time.

Babs is an arsehole for not dressing Spezza.

No, it's that he needs to power trip Dubas. Pure and simple.

His enormous ego won't allow him to be told who to dress. He talks all the time about wanting "gud pros"..."gud people"...healthy scratching a LONG TIME NHL vet in his home debut with his new club in his hometown is petty, and is not reflective of the values he says he wants in his players. Talk the talk, walk the walk.

If there was an obvious difference between Shore and Spezza sure. If he didn't already say he'd play Friday, sure. I'm sure tomorrow's practice is going to be a doozy with 3 hours of systems and teaching occurring that will make sure Spezza is ready for the Blue Jackets.

Not that it matters, but I've generally supported Babcock in the face of his critics - he's lost me on this one. Not how you treat a vet on the first day of the season.

Not including Bobby Mac in that poopshow though - he's top notch imo!

- Deeps27

That would actually be funny.

Matthews parties to hard on weekends so he can only be captain through the week.

The only way to prevent any issue/focus/sideshow of tonight being about Spezza playing for the arch rival Leafs against his former team Ottawa, is to not start Spezza...this is actually a good PR move that protects both the Leafs and Spezza, and it preserves the focus on the Leafs as a team unit and their C announcement on opening night...this has nothing to do with Babcock, or to do with Spezza's pre-season performance compared to Shore..

The fact that this is being made an issue by the media is really pitiful, but also shows just how far the Leafs have come.

The true irony of Spezza being a Leaf?......Leafs over Dallas in SCF.
