Does Toronto bury their coaches after they get fired?

Yes. Especially if stuff like this happens.

Also fuck Babcock. What an asshole.

:-\ Yikes. Part of me isn't really surprised a story of this nature came out though. Even if it isn't Babcock himself. Ten years ago though is going to make it harder to find proof on it though.

Other players collaborated the same story. It's going to be interesting what other coaches are going to be outed.

Got my tickets to see Vancouver against Boston on February 4th. $132 each for the Loge 4 area is pretty great.

I love the Weird NHL series they do. It has a similar vibe to the old NFL Follies videos.

Re: The 2019-2020 NHL Thread

Attended the Bruins game last night with my Dad :) A good time was had (we sat in Loge 4, Row 9 for reference to anybody who's been to TD Garden). We usually go semi-annually so I splurge a lot on tickets. I also got my Dad a David Pastrnak jersey which he got to wear for the duration of the game (and can wear at future games).

Bonus was the Bruins winning 4-0 including a beauty of a goal by Coyle.

Pasternak with his fourth hat trick of the season and the second goal was a fucking beauty. Its weird to see the Canadiens be so irrelevant nowadays.

The Leafs are going to lose to an emergency back-up goalie.

That's the worst I've ever seen any team play. Just absolute dogshit.

Re: The 2019-2020 NHL Thread

Blowing the 4-1 lead in game 7 was more painful, but that's the most embarrassed any sports team has ever made me. How am I supposed to show my face in public after that?

Its like they scored the 2 quick goals on him and then didn't want to embarrass him or something. Like they were waiting to make their move and then just forgot how to skate.

Good for Ayres, I'm glad he got a moment like that, but Carolina could have put a cardboard cutout of Artūrs Irbe in net and they still would have won that game.

When I used to play in goal sparingly, guys weren't afraid to throw anything on net because they knew it probably would go in.

Re: The 2019-2020 NHL Thread

So you're designing a sport and a question arises. What happens if you have two goalies and they both get hurt? Do you...

A. Make one of the other players on your team fill in?

or...

B. Put the Zamboni driver in there.

For a professional sport that cracks me up a bit.

The Lightning trying to goon it up and get physical with Boston last night was cute. If they try that over a 7 game series they'll wear themselves out in three games. They aren't the Blues.

NHL's season has just been suspended due to covid-19. https://www.espn.com/

Right below MLB suspending operations.

Re: The 2019-2020 NHL Thread

My dad flew to Toronto (lifelong Leafs MEGAfan) yesterday to attend the Leafs game today and go to Mecca (aka the HOF) so I'm sure he's devastated about them shutting down today of all days. Typical Leafs fan luck.

Is the HOF still open?
