Leaf Rumours

should we bench defensive players when they make offensive mistakes?

You mean like when a defenseman bobbles the puck at the blue line on the PP, after feeding a transition pass right up the middle onto an opponents stick earlier in the game?
 
ahhh, I see what you did there.

and yes Healey is absolutely the worst. I don't mind a commentator calling em like they see em... .but Healey has a profound hatred for this team and his bias is horrendous.

Milbury for example says things I don't agree with, but his comments vary and he is truthful. Healy is awful, awful awful.

Spector is up there as well, (not a tv commentator) but someone who shows their own bias way too much.

Friedman was on the fan yesterday and Bob Mcown and the other idiot with him (not Brunt, he's great) were looking at this as a way to just spend 15 minutes slagging the leafs. and Friedman you could tell was just pissing them off because he was reporting things extremely objectively. Saying this team has alot of good young pieces and that with some moves could be a contender within the three years.

He mentioned how Gainey had stated that it takes around 8 years to get a team to the way you want it, and that the leafs still have that time.

Friedman was just taking the wind out of their sails.
 
With Mike Mottau out indefinitely, the New York Islanders have called up Travis Hamonic on emergency loan from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL.

The 20-year-old offensive-defenseman is expected to make his NHL debut on Wednesday, when the Isles face the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Mottau remains in Atlanta after taking a Zach Bogosian shot to the face during a game against the Thrashers on Sunday. The pressure and swelling surrounding his right eye is the biggest concern.

There's no timetable for Mottau's return to Long Island.

Is it the same Healey we're talking about? We're talking about Glen Healey, the ex-Leaf backup goalie right?

I can't remember the number of times when Bob McCowan goes through his routine of bashing the Leafs and Healey comes on the show, telling him he's ripping the youngest team in the league who's just 2 years into Burke's rebuilding plan and if he doesn't have enough patience for that, he shouldn't watch any young team play period.

I think Healey calls a spade a spade, and while he's by no means a Leaf fan, he's pretty unbiased IMO. I remember the # of times he ripped Maurice of his coaching tactics (and very true) but also praised Leafs defense when the media routinely bashed them.

I like Healy. He tries hard to come off as having an unbiased opinion but because he never stops talking, it comes off as loud and contradictory. He's not really anti-Leafs, but I can see why he'd be viewed that way.

Either way, I don't mind his dumb comments from time to time, it actually makes the colour guy look better in contrast. Plus it's just funny.

Hughson and Simpson can go **** themselves.

Notice how the "CBC biased commentator" complaints have completely died down, even though these two are way more biased towards the Cannots than the previous crew were towards the Leafs?
 
Forget the bias, I'm just sick of listening to NHL 98 commentary. If they've made it better in video games, shouldn't it be better in real life too.

I actually like the bias. When the Leafs win you can hear the disappointment.
 
I actually like Mark Lee.

That is why I dont mind watching games on RDS.... I dont understand a word.
 
Paul Romanuk, lol? That's a good one.

Healy's fine. People are reading "Leaf hatred" into all kinds of ridiculous places that just don't exist.

Hughson, however, is truly awful.
