All three of the big hockey names with media hype, Lamoriello, Hunter, and Babcock, have turned out to be mediocre at best, and Two Phones and Hunter Hockey Genius actually sucked, Babcock is the mediocre.

Deep dive on Jack Hughes;

Nice to see the JOFA line delivering again.

Against a feeble Leaf team in Mike Babcock induced crisis.

The Loafs ain't much of a measuring stick right now, they got mental problems.

We're enjoying watching Brian Boyle play also. It's hard to tell if he should have been in Slap Shot or The Brady Bunch. Or both.

I think Babcock is actually sabotaging the team deliberately to make a point.

Not big enough, not tough enough, this year is a write off already.

It's going to come down to the offseason where Shanny is going to have to put somebody in their place.

Either Dubas, or Babcock, is going to have to be tolt.

Thing is, due to Babcock's stature and contract, I think it will be Dubas who gets tolt.

There will be trades, I fear for muh Kappy, since he's the one all the teams want.

He's a good guy, I wouldn't have resigned him to the Leafs, but he's still a class act.

He just didn't do for the Leafs what he was brought in to do, he wasn't that good defensively, and he wasn't that good on face offs.

He's been a hit in Smashvegas so far.
