GDT: Pens vs Leafs-scape goal Phil returns [Converted]

[The Examiner]

And that has nothing to do with him more than the crappy plays you've seen thus far today.

We haven't been a good team, but Bernier has been a good goalie considering what he's had to deal with.

While the team can be at fault at times, he's let in some awful goals this year. He's also been very inconsistent. How can you play in front of that? He needs to be better because Reimer is worse.

 

[Duffman955]

Lol what? What did you expect from Babcock? To turn rancid turds into gold? You can't mae chicken salad out of chicken ****.

He's a coach, a very good one, but a coach. He's not Jesus Chrst himself, sent down to deliver unto us wins by his own sheer will.

Coaches have gotten better results from worse teams.

Even a rock could coach a team to have 1 win in 11 games

 

[wmark]

Clarkson scratched?

I feel for him.

 

[SprDaVE]

Great play there Parenteau, skate straight into the defender and lose the puck.

It was so bad. Not even a good little shot in the chest of Fleury. Just skated at the lone defender and lost the puck.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Not on paper... so.

nope! no "so..."
the Ducks are a bottom five team. (and actually they are the worst team in the league for the moment). and Andersen has amazing numbers, and the Ducks looked brrruuuttaaal. (and not putting up enough goal support).

wow...
that was a looooooooooooong 2nd period.

i guess that's why that coach got fired in Columbus.
he was not a rock.

Braccos sitting beside me at the game. Just shook his hand and said welcome to Ontario.

 

[TMLegend]

Really debating shutting down for the night. Loss is all but a foregone conclusion. The Leafs are beyond inept offensively.

 

[SprDaVE]

Not on paper... so.

Who cares what's on paper. We're talking about results and what's in front of us.

Andersen has 0 wins so far this year and hasn't been a sieve. Bernier has been the total opposite.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Are people starting to get on Babs already? Wow! This roster is beyond awful. He gets a pass.

 

[King85Kong]

Bernier has been much better the last couple starts. Hopefully he keeps it up.

 

[Pi]

I answered the question. It's possible for a bad team, no matter how good they should be, to have a quality goaltender.

We don't have that. It's just that simple.

Yeah, Bernier has been on and off so far. We don't have a goalie who can just make it look easy out there.

1st goal allowed should never be scored...and before people say it's not a big deal, the team that scores first usually wins, so it is a big deal.

 

[Duffman955]

he was not a rock.

Babcock has the same results and getting 50 million to do it.

 

[SprDaVE]

Braccos sitting beside me at the game. Just shook his hand and said welcome to Ontario.

Did you tell him to lace up and get in the lineup? He couldn't do any worst then what we've seen.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Yes. Have you seen this team?

Losing 2 more games is almost guaranteed.

and we can not win on the road.
we have two wins on the road in a calendar year (and counting).

one win we broke both goalies, and we STILL almost lost
the other win was vs. Columbus.

 

[Paradoc]

I need an 82 game sample for them to be considered a bottom 5 team so..

 

[TheOneArmedMan]

The media needs to grill Babcock....his results are absolute ****.

Don't worry now that the jays are out they will. Babs even said in the offseason there's going to be pain and it looks like it. At least they didn't give us fans false hope by winning the first bunch of games then failing halfway like the last few seasons.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Babcock has the same results and getting 50 million to do it.

...... so you don't want Babcock here? i'm not getting your gripe.

 

[Divine]

and we can not win on the road.

That's insane...

Thought you said 2 wins in the calender year.

 

[Trapper]

Yes. Have you seen this team?

Losing 2 more games is almost guaranteed.

November features Dallas twice, Washington, Nashville, Boston etc.
I think we'll be fine.

 

[Suntouchable13]

This team's best players are Kadri, JvR, Phaneuf, and Rielly. You can't win with that, I don't care who you are.

 

[Leafidelity]

This not true.

It sure is. Two road wins in 2015.

 

[mikebel111*]

Babcock has the same results and getting 50 million to do it.

You do realize the team is playing well just not tonight.
Plus our goalies can't stop anything.
Plus no skill from like 10 forwards.

Yeah 1 win but that's not on Babcock at all

 

[Daisy Jane]

I need an 82 game sample for them to be considered a bottom 5 team so..

that's not what you asked. SprDave said it best.
as of right now the Ducks suck, but Andersen does not
ergo: it is possible that a team can be bad/goalie not so much. this is the results, not "on paper"


i'm not saying Bernier sucks, but you asked.
the Ducks aren't scoring, they're not very good defensively, and they are the worst team in the league. that's where they are right now. they could turn it around

 

[mikebel111*]

Babcock is doing a great job sadly let down by little talent and bad goalies

But sure look at his record and it means he is bad lol
