The Caps official twitter sent out "It was fun while it lasted" with an accompanying gif of Frank the Tank streaking in Old School. Amazing.

Saw that, and immediately thought of how the Sabres would never do that.

The leafs may lose some games 6-5 etc. but Babcock encourages their creativity and it would seem he even tells them to go for it which is the polar opposite of whats going on in Buffalo where DB seems to actually try to stifle any form of creative expression on the ice. At least thats what I'm seeing when I watch the leafs. He's teaching those kids to use their instincts and to do what comes naturally if it looks like there may be a play where you can score. the defence suffers for it but those kids will grow into an offensive juggernaut compared to the style we see in the Buffalo. I applaud the approach the leafs brass are taking. Its a treat to watch.

The anger speaks to the level of devotion that many Canadians feel for their national junior team. Sometimes, I think that the U20 junior team is more beloved than the men's team that competes in the Olympics.

You think wrong.

 

The Leafs are going to make the playoffs one year after tanking. ###### Babcock

I think TB makes it and TO doesn't...

Reminds me of the early days when Punch told Perreault and Martin to forget about defense. Your job is to score

The Leafs are burning the Devils. 4-0 with 4:45 left in the FIRST period.

13 total shots for the Leafs

 

ZERO SHOTS IN THE LAST 27 MINUTES BY THE LEAFS!!!

 

And a 4-2 win.

 

And they are in a playoff spot!

It's not totally fair, but whenever you go on this rant, I see the face of Mike Gilbert.

Zadorov has had his struggles but I saw enough vs the isles last night to wish he was still on the Sabres. I'd do the trade every time still but he's got some potential.

I can't even imagine the things that would be said about DD if the Sabres won a game this way. Actually I can.

You could go to the Leafs board and read them, they're all right there. Except there are more posters doing it than post here on a regular basis.

See, we can agree! I can't imagine what I'd say either if the Sabres scored 4 goals in the first period :p

Watching Laffs-Habs.  Caught a chunk of the Laffs game last night as well.  I'm starting to wonder if their progress has been overstated/estimated.  They're plenty of fun going forward, but boy howdy are they NC-17 in their own end.  Not just the defense, literally everyone. 

 

If you lose a ton of games 5-4 you still lose a ton of games.  Perhaps that one belongs in the unpopular opinion thread...

They're not winning squat until they clean it up, that's for sure. Yet, they still have a positive goal differential and currently sit in a playoff spot.

The Sabres got help last night as OTT, FLA, TOR and TBL lost night

They're currently 5 points out of a playoff spot. Last week they were 10 points out. Lots of hockey left. Ennis back next week might help provide a spark.
