Muzzin lives, because he is dead.

Also, his trip on Rielly was dangerous and stupid and it’s his fault they lost the game.

Yup. Kadri does that and he's suspended.

He's just showing he is still salty about losing it for his team.

That doesn't sound like a confident captain to me, more like a whining one looking for excuses for his team and himself for losing.

For sure.

I've never liked the guy. Comes off like a douche.

After blowing that 3 goal lead everyone on Columbus needs to STFU about a penalty call.

When you blow that lead spectacularly like that, you put yourself in that position.

Leafs 4-2.


And holy crap Boston looks horrible. They just are not the same team after this palyoff. That game 7 last year they needed to win. their last big chance.

Boston is rope-a-dope-ing. They'll be fine.

That 0-4 start means they face the toughest opponent possible. They are in big trouble against Carolina.

Just came back from weekend fishing trip in the bush. Heard the leafs won in OT. Watched ‘game in 6’ and I was like ‘I know they won, but they are losing 3-0 with 5 minutes left, I must have heard wrong and they lost’.

It’s just so leafy.

What can you expect tonight? Who the heck knows with this team.

He doesn't sound like very good captain material, does he?

When Bautista was the leader of the Jays, I hoped he'd be traded. His constant whining, griping and complaining - I felt - was a reason they didn't achieve more. He instilled that character to the team. They were victims not leaders.

The devil's advocate position here is that a lot of thought usually goes into these decisions. A quick Google reveals this from 2015 when he was selected:

"We had a list of qualifications, if you want to call it that, and Nick's the one that kept checking off the list both on and off the ice," Kekalainen said. "He produces points and sticks up for his teammates; plays hockey the right way. Competes. Plays with a big heart but he also leads us off the ice in the community with saying the right things and knowing when not to say anything."

Different people get fired up in different ways.

So while I agree with you, there may be a method to his mouthiness.

I always looked at it differently. I saw it as someone finally standing up for themselves at the ridiculous differences in strikezones.

Because more often than not, Bautista was completely correct in complaining the call the Ump made.

Baseball has the luxury of being played at a very slow pace so they always show a lot of replays. And it almost always showed that he had a better eye than the guy whose job it was to get the calls right.

It doesn't gain any favours with the officials but there's nothing wrong with complaining when you're right.

Not sure. He looked healthy all the way through.

Maybe when he tried to overextend on the game winning goal?

I am extremely confident that I am nervous.

Anyone who says otherwise is a big, fat liar.

The issue is that a player gets a reputation that usually results in borderline calls going against him.

I don't think Joey's complaining, even if justified, did him - or the team - any favours. And I love me some Joey Bats.

I like this idea, but I wouldn't do multiple meats. Maybe ground beef on that.
