Better question..
"How come I think I know more than one of the best hockey coaches in the world?"
“How dare anyone be critical of Burke and Carlyle, they won cups and you haven’t”.

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- it's the Ego. Egocock's Ego needs to be tamed.

He’s stubborn - probably his biggest fault (and I say this as a fan of Babcock).
The inability or unwillingness to change up the power play (especially the 2nd unit last season) is definitely a legit criticism of the coaching staff as a whole.
I will say though that babcock is more willing to learn and adapt than some give him credit for - he dropped Matt Martin like a stone eventually.
Everyone and their brother knows exactly what Leafs are doing after a half season on PP. Teams have figured out how to defend it now. It is really that simple. As Matty said it is not the players it is the puck movement system.All you guys said "stack the PP" and all will be good, things aren't as easy as you all think.

BS . I have seen it done where you take your best 5 offensive guys and let them do what they want on PP. We could try that too. But we don't. Unless guys are given free will to ad lib it will get defended.But everyone on here says to just stack the PP and the top 2 lines and we are sure to win, no coaching needed?

Some sports fans, like myself, have played multiple sports, and in my case, I'm an educated hockey coach, qualified to coach at the major junior hockey level.The world would be a far better place if more sports fans realized how little they actually know.

No offense, but how old are you?
You can't expect to have your opinion taken seriously when you call people names like "egocock". That's not something that adults, or even mature children do.
Do better.

Matthews and Marner played together without Hyman 2 years ago for 1/2 a game. they scored 4 goals against Montreal. Next game Babs split them up again, put Hyman back with Matthews and got shut out by the worst team in the league, the Coyotes. They have not played together since the Montreal game. Go figure. Even Grapes was shaking his head over that on CBC lol.I dunno, but I think it's pretty clear that babs is more extreme than most in sticking with his matchups.
Matthews literally didn't play one game without Hyman for the first 2yrs of his career.

Matthews and Marner still haven't played on the same line after 3 years in the league, which is pretty bizarre when you think about it. Is there any other team in the league whose best forwards have literally never played on the same line together? for 3 years?
And it's amazing to realize that if Nylander hadn't held out, kappy would STILL likely be stuck on the 4th line. Just like Dermott is permanently stuck on the bottom pair no matter what happens, and likely won't get any type of promotion until Babcock is forced to.

I don't think I'm alone on these boards in having vast experience coaching hockey. So, not all of us are sports stupid fans.
Some need English lessons.Educated folks don't need to announce the fact...........because that they are educated.
Some need English lessons.
Babcock's had immeasurably more success in the NHL than either of those two.
But yes, tell me more how you know better than him...
You are welcome! Go Leafs Go!Whatever you say coach! That's called an auto correct typo. Thought you were smart. Thanks for the compliment though.
Agreed, not everyone can be unstupid like us.The world would be a far better place if more sports fans realized how little they actually know.
All three men have the same number of cups....
And regardless of the issue, merely appealing to authority is a lazy argument otherwise people couldn’t be critical of anything in pro sports.
