Why hire a coach who can't get it done elsewhere? If we are making a change, just give it to Lambert.
That's what I'm saying.Why hire a coach who can't get it done elsewhere? If we are making a change, just give it to Lambert.
The counterargument would be that a guy like Babcock most definitely HAS got it done elsewhere. He has 700 wins and a Cup. And World Cup, etc.Why hire a coach who can't get it done elsewhere? If we are making a change, just give it to Lambert.
I'd say he got fired from a team that has enormous fundamental flaws. The Leafs have a huge imbalance in player capabilities, such poor depth and defensive construction. They've done somewhat ok-ish under Babcock, but it remains to be seen where the true problem is.Babcock got it done in a different era. His last Cup was what? 2008? He was fired from a team that is built to play in today's league. We'd be better off just trying to bring Trotz back.
