Slightly less inaccurate...see that wasn't so hard. He did not insult Muzzin. That is still a lie. It had nothing to do with Muzzin as a player or a person. He may well have thrown shade on his GM for not giving him specifically what he asked for in terms of a partner for Reilly. He paid a price for it later on and so be it. We are all responsible for our actions.

He absolutely insulted Muzzin. And he absolutely insulted his GM.
No coach ever says what he says. Ever.

This is hilarious.
But that charge by Pionk was pretty vile. When he reached Marner he extended his right leg so far as to sweep both Marner's legs.
How Marner spun out of that is pretty incredible.
IMO the intent to injure was definitely there and the fact that Marner was successful in avoiding injury should not be used to help Pionk. Player safety should take action against him.
Just imagine if we lost Marner to a dirty hit like that. The Jets just got schooled by the leafs and they know they will face them 9 more times this season. Might as well take out one of their stars. it's disgusting.

Seriously tho, Pionk comes out looking like an idiot there.

Yes, but you have to understand that what you see as a penalty isn't necessarily a penalty to others, particularly the referees.
Winnipeg fans probably think the call against them was bogus, and are wondering why the refs didn't call the other eight obvious ones on us.
No he didn't...I mean absolutely no he didn't. The absolutely gives my argument much more importance and weight. I am adding a double dog absolutely not and you cannot argue with a double dog absolutely...

Pionk even went after Marner early in the game. Mitch shrugged it off, picked up a turnover and setup Jumbo for a nice chance alone, but good save by Hellebuyck.
Mitch is looking more like his 94-pt season. Great to see. When Mitch is on you can see it all over, he's skating, stealing pucks, backchecking, making sublime passes, etc. Keep it up.
Well, I can just go according to the rule book lol.
I get what you're saying and I said as much myself. There will missed calls on both sides. But the idea Winnipeg just played a nearly perfectly disciplined game despite being hemmed in their zone basically the entirety of the 2nd period, doesn't hold up as likely and certainly doesn't match the eye test.

Again it's your eye.
I didn't see the bad lack of calls that you did, and I'm a Leafs fan too. And that's my eye test.
If all calls were made as per the rule book, there would probably be 30 penalties a game.
I'm not saying that every single thing should be called.
You are really bending over backwards to discredit the idea that we deserved more powerplay time when powerplays are being given out like candy against us and around the league.
And no, it's not because we're playing wildly undisciplined and the teams we are beating aren't.
This has become a pattern of us not getting calls over years.

You're the one mentioning the rule book.
All I'm saying is that you have an opinion that is not the only one, and doesn't have to be correct.

I agree with you here zeke, not sure about insulting Dubas with that comment but definitely insulting to Muzzin.

no need for some thing like that. You don't need to put sarcastic replies but anyways, Babcock clearly didn't like the addition and thats pretty clear in his reply. Babcock didn't repond in an appropriate manner.

People who have no desire to talk hockey and just want to correct people, little meanings and other words are lame. If i have learned anything about my time on forums (was on an anime one before). It's that any person can sit and type and argue all day and weeks on end and never let up. They don't want to bruise there ego and just want to be so right even if they are wrong by now. Sometimes the smarter or bigger person leaves. Like I said anyone can argue all day. Just cause your louder, or never let up doesn't mean you're more right just means you're more stubborn.
Babcock sucked, and was that bad, he's gone get over it.

@zeke here’s the full question and answer:
Reporter: Does it complicate your job having five left-hand shots in your top six D now?
Babs: It’s interesting. I was watching Pittsburgh last night and that’s what they dress. They had Letang and the five left shots. The bottom line is, the way the game is played now, it is way tighter and it is way harder. You can’t go rink-wide on your backhand. You rim it to the bottom versus getting a shot on net in the o-zone. Lots of things. There is no question about it that it’s not perfect. It is what we got and we’re going to make it work.
I don’t think it was a shot at Muzzin at all, the question was very specifically about having 5 left shots in the top 6. I’d say it was probably a small shot at Dubas, especially as we know they weren’t on the best terms, but it’s also just an honest answer - having 5 left shots in your top 6 isn’t ideal. I’m not a Babs fan, but it was a pretty innocuous comment IMO.
