What do you mean what the he'll am I on about? Have I not been clear and concise? Just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean I'm way out to lunch with this.
Babcock still had an NHL roster last season with some very respectable players. He finished last in the league. You'd think the "best coach in the game" would have done better if coaching is so paramount to success regardless of roster.
It's hilarious people are pointing to Babcocks roster as the reason for the lack of success last year yet don't think the same of the Jets. Andrew Ladd was bad last year after his surgery. Lowry **** the bed. So on and so forth.... and then the Jets went full tank as well.
Yes the Jets got quite a bit healthier around Xmas this year but it was pretty apparent that guys like MP, Armia, Matthias were not up to game speed when they came back or still battling injuries.
Now despite loosing a boat load of D men they have managed to go 11-6-3. Their PP has improved immensely since mid December and their overall game and I believe Corsi stats have also all climbed since mid season or so....
Anyways. Coaching is probably certainly a factor between the two teams to some degree. The Leafs however have 1 more win than the Jets this year.... Think about that, 1 Win....
