Leafs Hire Babcock

[Black 03 Z06]

All other Canadian Teams have filed for bankruptcy protection as the Leafs are headed for another Stanley Cup.

Yeah right, only if he cleans house starting with the owner.

Leaf fan my whole life... the system has been on steady decline and has gone even further everyone believed Shanahan was the answer, only to hire a teenage stats wizard to manage the team (Dubas). He is now stepping out only to put the cart before the horse with the hiring of Babcock before the GM. That means he must find a GM that doesnt want his own people in place which throws the next Lead Chapter of failures into play.

Having said that, Babcocks record is sound and he has a good reputation at all levels. If anyone can turn around the players that have lost interest in what the team has to offer, he can. Considering coach availability and what was out there, I have to also admit I dont know what other choice Shanny had... Maybe he should have considered Babcock for a dual Coach/GM role to start and then find who fits with him?

After 48 years of waiting for the Leafs to really perform (again) ..... we're a patient bunch.

We'll see if Babcock can whip 'em into shape.

Poor Babcock. There goes his reputation he should've stayed in Detroit.
