Looking at those stats just makes me even angrier than I already am with this coach.
He is an arrogant, egotistical, narcissistic, megalomaniac that is incapable of adapting to the needs to the team or the way of the league. Over the past few years this organization has basically changed out everything from the lower ranking scouts through the ranks of trainers, affiliate coaching, our entire roster and all the way right to the president. Babcock was brought in to be the man that put it all together and as it turns out most people including myself were blinded to how poor of a decision that was. Even after a %40 roster swap from this time last season we are still suffering from the same problems which at times are masked by the sheer talent we throw on the ice. But my god does he get out-coached on a weekly basis, makes insane remarks and his player management is atrocious. He has no legitimate answer for anything and insists of deflecting blame onto anybody else that is available.
It seriously is a struggle sometimes for me to want to watch the best lineup on paper I have ever seen as a 40 year leaf fan, and suffering watching it roadblocked at every turn starting with his decisions.
We have the highest paid front 2 lines in the league and one of the top 2-3 forwards in the league who is out there playing 101st ranked 5v5 minutes and 46th ranked PP minutes per game.
Im just beside myself about this all.
