Leafs @ Capitals - Mar. 3rd, 8:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

I figured this would be a lopsided game for the caps. Leafs haven't been sharp for a week or two. Hainsey has looked lost since he went down with the flu.

I hate watching this team defend. 4 Leafs surrounding Backstrom and he sneaks it in. Wow.

Babcock can't figure out a way to get them to play sound D.  It's coaching philosophy.  They either clamp up and play awful offense or they open it up and can't defend an ankle bender.

Komarov on the power play and Plekanec on the second line. Babcock hockey.

You have to reward Komarov for working hard otherwise he might not feel appreciated.  You also need to berate your rookies for making mistakes.

He limits how good the team can be. Consistently puts the team in a bad lineup position.
 
Kapanen is plateauing/regressing a bit.  Lousy period for him.  Well, lousy period, period.
 
There are some that like to defend Hughson and the usual HNIC crew, but watching the NBC broadcast is really eye opening, despite playing against the American team, they?ve been very complimentary to the Leafs.

HNIC is borderline unwatchable most weeks.

 
Can the CBC please stop bringing that Alex kid on HNIC!

He's a traitor because!...

1) He cheers for an American team!

2) He's president of the Alex Ovechkin fan club, a Russian no less!

Bring on HNIC some Toronto/Ontario kids that are loyal Leaf fans!
 
Next level commentary from Hughson "That would just about have been in if Andersen didn't stop it"

I think the book is out on how to score in the NHL.  Don't let the goaltender stop the puck.
