Babcock didnt exactly coach any young promesing prospects in detroit so is he really the right coach for leafs young guys?
I am not sure he is the guy to develop marner, nylander matthews.Maybe provide your own point of view first?!
So you recall his years with Detroit but have already forgotten last season with Toronto? The Leafs litterally under Babcock had the best group of rookies of any NHL team in decades. They were the first team since the Oilers in 81 to have 3 60 point rookies. Connor Brown was the 4th best rookie forward and he still had 20 goals.Babcock didnt exactly coach any young promesing prospects in detroit so is he really the right coach for leafs young guys?

I am amazed how people change all their opinions for no reason whatsoever.Omfg. We get told that the Leafs are not a contender all year and now that they look like they won't win the cup suddenly the players must all suck and the coach is trash and all this. How about the teams best players are 21 and younger?
Yes?
Hfboards told us that Marner and Nylander were overrated and hes sure as hell got a lot out of those two.
Not to mention Matthews, Brown, Hyman, Rielly, and Dermott.
Marner has been amazing. Who could get more out of Mitch Marner? LOL. He's been their best player in this series and was as good as anyone in the second half of the season.I am not sure he is the guy to develop marner, nylander matthews.

If you were told all that they aren’t a contender, and then they don’t contend, were people wrong?Omfg.

SMH.Babcock does a very good job of managing young players' ice-time and slowly bringing them along. With veterans? Nope. That's the issue. He overplays them badly and relies on them far too much. The TOI of Hainsy was always going to bite them. Leaf fans were mentioining this before Christmas.
Mitch Marner has been incredible. Let's not forget that.
I do see the young players playing, don't you?SMH.
So he's doing a good job of managing young players ice time but over playing the vets? If the young players aren't playing, who else goes on the ice?

Oh ok. I see what you are saying now.That's the point.. How can people sit there and tell Leaf fans all year how their team won't win contend and can't match up against certain teams and then when that happens flip flop and start acting like there is something wrong with the team.. No. They are just not there yet. Stop these bashing posts on 21 year olds. Stop bashing the coaching. Stop bashing the fan base.
Leafs are on their way. It's just funny seeing the narrative shift to allow the most bashing.
After hearing the whole season about how Matthews (and the other young guys) will carry the Leafs to be a contender. Sure seems like they were overrated.Yes?

Babcocks faults lie in loyalty to veterans.
We were all told leaf have the better depth, speed, regular season dominance and picked at the start of the year to be one/two and maybe 1st over Tampa mostly by their own fans. Now the narrative has changed that they are out coached and being beat by better depth. Canadian media props up teams and loves the over hype and fans of those teams fall for it every time. Babcock reminds me of Julien and needs a veteran team with already polished players. There is not Lidstrom or Datysuk to make him look good presently. We shall see if he can deliver but with that salary he better.If you were told all that they aren’t a contender, and then they don’t contend, were people wrong?
But the facts and statistics after 82 games proved Leaf fans were right. LOL. The depth is fantastic.We were all told leaf have the better depth, speed, regular season dominance and picked at the start of the year to be one/two and maybe 1st over Tampa mostly by their own fans.

Fact is they said Boston had no depth compared to them, facts are Cassidy did a much better job all year with depth with the ridiculous number of injuries to key playersBut the facts and statistics after 82 games proved Leaf fans were right. LOL. The depth is fantastic.
No one said that at all. They said Toronto had better depth and provided all stats and facts after 82 games which proved them right.Fact is they said Boston had no depth compared to them, facts are Cassidy did a much better job all year with depth with the ridiculous number of injuries to key players
