I meant to say shanny hired

Not sure if true or a rumor but.....

Apparently yesterday Tavares and Rielly had a closed door meeting with Babcock to discuss pressing issues.

Today he is fired.

Do the players have a strong say in Toronto whether or not the coaching staff stays or goes?


Personally I don't like Babcock but this can not be all pinned on him imo. He has to take some of the blame for sure but fingers can be pointed at many others as well.


Personally I feel Toronto is an NHL 20 video game team.

They will pull off all the sick dekes, skate fast, pick corners and dominate in an environment where skill can be measured, but heart, grit and a desire to win can not be.

Who's available to build that gritty line around though?

I think that is were you Blame Dubas for his obsession with analytics. They can't measure the give a fuck level it takes to win in the playoffs.

Grit has been traded away and due to a huge percentage of the cap being tied up to a small group of players there is no room left to fix the problem.

But they made the playoffs

No clue

Its a culture thing, our players are mild mannered and it shows on the ice and off.


I mean this semi literally and metaphorically

We need more bearded fuckers on this team.


I think Washington is the best balance rn of skill and toughness. That team is terrifying

Wish we had a Reeves or maybe also acquired dustin brown with muzzin


But i guess dustin is getting a little older.

Source: ~90% of the Leafs were relieved to see Mike Babcock go.

The GM obviously was ready for it, too. Now the heat is on them with their season on the line.

Wow
