"I had a real good discussion with Mike Babcock before Game 6 about owning the moment and how to push your team through."

- Jim Montgomery, Boston Bruins head coach

The Leaves are of course still paying Babcock a fortune.

Lol…your boi Mitch the embarrassment to Hockey Canada Marner will be the one finding himself in Berube’s doghouse not Nylander! 11 million William comes to play post season. Mitch runs and hides along the perimeter, he’s gawd awful…I’d take Nylander on the Canucks any day of the week.

The injured Nylander had 3 goals in 4 games. Mitch the Bitch had 1 goal 3 assists in 7 games. Shameful. Absolutely shameful!

It's not one or the other, it's a bunch of them like I said.

Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Rielly, Liljegren...

If I had my choice of the bunch it’s Nylander 100%. Benning wanted to draft him, but Gilman and his cronies wanted the local kid - Virtanen. Blobbee wanted Ritchie.

Back then rumor had it Mr Aquilini went out to Abbotsford to meet the Virtanen's and brought along one of his mama's fresh baked blueberry pies made with berries hand picked by his best Guatemalan field hand Jesus. I wanted Ehlers myself fwiw but given all of that I knew it wasn't happening.

I was bouncing back n forth between Virtanen, Nylander, Ritchie and Ehlers. The adjustments were running wild!

I was leaning toward taking Ritchie at times myself. Craig Button scared me off Jake.

I don't want to toot my own horn, particularly because I don't usually have strong takes heading into the draft - but in 2014 I figured there was probably not much value in hanging onto that 6th pick. I wanted to trade up for Draisaitl (probably impossible) or down with Anaheim (10, 38, 55) where we probably could have still wasted our pick on Virtanen. That said, I don't know who was on Jim's list between Demko and Tryamkin so maybe we would have just ended up with three busts instead of one.

Good Leave talk boys....

Fucking priceless.

Jaysus man, spoiler that shite will ya?

Austin should mix in a bicep curl and tri pull down once in a while.

Maybe a little delt work while he's at it.

That right there is what a perennial 1st round exit looks like with its shirt off.

Also he should just shave the remaining few strands atop of that ridiculous dome.
