Anton Babchuk to be Scratched for Game 5

Kaberle in. Babchuk out. Hopefully, Mo's move doesn't come back to bite him. More discussion about this later.

Hopefully this move pays off for any future games. Babchuck has really been pretty bad lately. His offensive zone play hasn’t been great, and his defensive zone play has been horrid.

He had some confidence issues, hopefully this gets him the right way, and doesn’t crush him.

i have no idea why they benched babchuk – kaberle has no upside, and brings nothing postive – and that is what that got from him, nothing at all – at least if babchuk gets 1 or 2 shots off they might have a chance of scoring, kablere can’t shoot so you rely on his passing, but that created nothing in his useless 8:15 of ice time

agreed. No matter how bad babs plays I would take him over the multi million dollar man.

If only some one would of claimed him.
