I'm not going to say that I am a hockey expert nor did I play anything above bantam rep. I know some people on here may have played in the O or the NHL and know more than me and I don't want to come off as being just angry or pissed off but I think Babcock can't get a pass on this. Anybody who has read some of my past posts know that IMO the leafs have been outcoached, out played and out hustled about 60-80 % of the games over the last 2 years.
They always start out slow, often tie it up and win in OT or SO. Often against lesser teams. Most of the time they are just playing shinny.
What stands out most is that Babcock is known for juggling his lines but he didn't in this series even though it wasn't working. He had arguably the most creative player (Marner) in the game playing a defensive role.
This guy has to be fired. He is possibly the worst coach in all pro sports. If you know of a worst, please make an argument for it because if opened up to the masses, I would love to sit back and seem how that debate plays out. He waits until tonight to Tavares around? Really? Don't get me started about Gardiner, why doesn't he just put the puck directly into our own net? I said after the 3rd or 4rth game last year that I would trade him for a sack of potatoes but Babcock actually thinks he's a good defenceman.
They have to fire him. Period.
