Got back from a weeks fishing to hear the good news, eat your heart out Van. Also an e mail said I have retained my position much to the disappointment from FA the only Vancouver supporter left in this forum. ;D ;D

Babcock stated that the Leafs are Canada's Team.
Who am I to argue against that from such a coach with golden credentials.

Go Leafs go ! Go Canada's great team in the future.
He just may go the way of Torts. ;D
Maybe not as a leader can make players jump when he wants.
A good coach says jump & the players say " How high?"
Get my point ? Hope so because it is FACT.
If he makes a mistake then the players will backlash.

Let's see how he can get into their heads.
Hockey is 90% believing  hardworking & 10% physical skills.

What did you expect Babcock to say ? That the Make Beliefs is Canada's embarrassment ? ;D Unless Babcock can score and plays goal, the Leafs are still the Leafs.

--I love it...new coach...one of the best. I can now go back to trash talking the leafs without the feeling I am flogging a dead horse.

Honestly thought he'd just say that the Leafs are Ontario's team but Canada's team !!!
Guess we have to call them Toronto Canadians & Montreal Maple Leafs.

Of course Maple Leafs are ok too because a pic is worth a thousand words.
Maple Leaf pic = 1000 words & the Leaf is on our flag.

Very bold statement indeed & my guess is a majority of Canadians would cheer on the Leafs more so than the other Canadian teams.

As the Canucks are in a major shambles with the bold move having Babcock as head guy behind the bench the Leafs will turn things around quickly.
Leafs need a goalie who is above average & in those many close losses in the past will become W's instead.
Go Canada's team go.
Cheering on the Blackhawks ,then the Leafs & finally a few " come ons " for the Canucks.

Next question please.

Oh ya ya ya you kinda put me in the spot as in spotlight.
Well let me put it this way; the Vancouver Canucks of the early 80's, plus 89 thru 94 were teams that busted their butts off.
Plus lots of creative play.
The present day Canucks just seem to be lost out there.
They kinda look shell shocked.
They play great for 5 minutes then lousy for the next 5 minutes.
At least the Leafs have 80% of their players who look alive out there ( weed out the slackers )

Honestly the Canucks at the moment are compared to tasting baby food in the jar. Terrible taste.
The Leafs if they can get a quality stopper & weed out 20% of the slackers may just be one exciting team !
I for one will cheer them on & as for the Canucks will wish them the best & some ;  "Come on boys you can do it".
Go Leafs Go !
Come on Canucks get the lead out.

Think Chris is pulling strings to get some new personal. Rumour had it he's looking for a top notch goalie.

You're in for years of ridicule and public humiliation A-BOATER. If you don't believe me, ask Chris :) I hear he wants to be in the witness protection program but where can you remain anonymous in Chilliwack especially when he wears his Make Belief baseball hat ?
Title: Re: Brighter days ahead for leafs???
Post by: arimaBOATER on May 27, 2015, 06:09:04 PM
My team presently that I'm cheering for is the Blackhawks.
Game 6 & if they get the W it's going to game 7.

Pat Quinn played & coached the Leafs & he definitely cheered them on.
He also coached the Canucks & was a D man for them way back in the 70's.

So guess I'm  doing a Pat Quinn move & going to pull for the Leafs & Canucks.(RIP Pat)
Did not Roger Nielson capt video coach both Canucks & Leafs?
Another respected hockey man (RIP Roger)
Yes will cheer on the Leafs but that does not mean I'm not routing on the Canucks as well !

But can't you feel the excitement what's going to happen in TO?
But if I get razzed for cheering on the Leafs "No Problem Got thick skin"
Ha!  ;D
( secret if Chicago gets the boot I'm routing for the Ducks. One super team & Kesler with a Cup Alright)

Phil Weasel is no longer a Make Belief. Traded to Pittsburgh

Yup, had to give away a 2nd rounder next year just to unload him.

I hated to involved in making this trade but we had to do, things are so bright these days, not just the blue skies either.

I think I will catch a chinook tomorrow, I saw them making waves as they moved through the Canal at dusk tonight. Placed that tip here so only Leaf fans can see it. ;D ;D

They often are bright in the off season when they don't play hockey. In October, paper bags will be back in vogue for Chris, A-Boater and other Laugh fans.  :)

Lou Lamoriello named new General Manager of the Laughs. Shocked it wasn't Chris or A-BOATER :)

Lou A the new GM of the Leafs.
Has to be a positive move.
When a team is at or near the bottom lots of new faces always helps.
Thank God, Mr. Minus has been shipped out of TO & is now a Pen.

As far as the Canucks go they traded Eddie Lack a possible future super star.
Bad move.
Yes FA I cheered on the Leafs before the Canucks were given a franchise.
Good old hockey night in Canada with CPR & Esso tv commercials.
So I basically can route on both teams.
Mark my words, the Leafs will have more pts after 82-83 games than the Canucks in 2015/16.
Trade Eddie Lack.
Canucks white collars are not so bright after all.

AB I'd take you on that bet Vancouver will post more points. The laughs will be the laughs but neither them or the nucks are anywhere close to a cup this coming season. :-\

If the Canucks get more pts than the Leafs at the end of regular season you win I lose.
Gee the Canucks are making a few good deals.
Getting Sutter & unloading hot & cold player(s).
But still shaking my head over getting rid of Eddie Lack. His concentration & positioning ( angles) & adjustments during play is 2x better than the other Vancouver goalies.
Pucks will be going into the Canuck net 1/15 goal to shots taken when it should be 1/20.  :)
