I remember last year at home vs the Canucks, were he was on the ice for 4 goals. Each time the goal was scored he was nowhere near the net, or late getting to his man, or on his ass swiping at air. I literally called all the goals that Vancouver scored when MCabe was on the ice. He was so awful I was ashamed that he was wearing the jersey of my favorite team. He should thank Kaberle for all the points he gets. No Kaberle, no padded numbers!
This is not the only screw up he has made. He may not be the only reason why the Leaf defense is the pits, but he does more harm then good on a constant basis. I dont see why they dont move him to the wing? Leafs need offence big time, why not slot him in there. He can skate, moves the puck well and has above average offensive capabilities, I dont know what they are waiting for?
They should of let him walk away after he asked for big time $$$. I would of used that kind of cash to lure Pronger. I'm sure his wife would of loved Toronto.
If I were the same size as McCabe I would be thundering guys into the boards and making them think twice coming into the zone with there head down. He is a big dude and built like a rock, too bad he doesnt use his body to strike fear in opposing players. But that tenacity has left him along with his defensive abilities.
