Mike Babcock discussion part 3.

[disgruntleddave]

I think we might need at least 2 or 3 more losses in a row to get babs booted.

 

[sxvnert]

Make it 6 in a row - #FIREBABCOCK

 

[Hustlr]

Should’ve happened Sunday, let’s just get it done.

 

[Duffman955]

How about now?

 

[MoreMogilny]

Can we just fire the ****ing guy already... for **** sakes.

Nah we are waiting until the team is completely in the basement. Maybe once Ottawa passes us.

 

[TiMo15]

L6, not sure what change needs to be done to turn this around. Talents are here, just cannot execute it and win some games.

 

[A1LeafNation]

He has no answers.

He is done.

 

[WillNy29]

hey guys we just tied the game...quick Nick Shore get out there right now!

 

[Polaris1010]

Going to be pretty when that happens the way things are going.

Holy moly, Zaitsev and Hainsey powering the Ottawa Senators past the Toronto Maple Leafs in the standings, with the help of Conner Brown of course.

looks like DJ Smith took all the battle with him.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

If we get to 9 or 10 he'll be fired. Can't see him being fired otherwise.

 

[Oleksiy Armyakov]

How can dubas ever fire babcock is my question. Hes not the man to hurt or offend anyone's feelings

 

[kk87]

Anyone who thinks Babcock’s getting fired after this one is delusional. Nothing’s changed since last game, he’ll be around until at least December when we’re 15 points out of a playoff spot

2 more games










Until Babcock isn't fired.

 

[IPS]

DJ Smith and Jim Hiller continue to laugh their asses off.

 

[Hockey Crazy]

Here's the thing.

Let's say Keefe is Dubas' guy... why would you fire Babcock now and bring him in? If it doesnt turn around almost immediately then all of a sudden he is under fire by the fans and media and Dubas is on the hot seat now because he brought in this rookie coach who is failing. Really a tough spot for everyone. They need to get going... the losses wint help until it's too late.

He'll ask his Mom to do it for him.

 

[Oleksiy Armyakov]

He'll ask his Mom to do it for him.

haha, sadly I thought and imagined the same.

 

[Nooodles]

Anyone knows if Dubas has the authority to fire Babcock?

Maybe it's only Shanny or Larry T.

Nobody outside of the organization knows at least.

Imo likely needs Shanny's sign off if i qere to guess.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

it makes the organization look pretty bad that he's still around. Saying to keep grinding when his approach is clearly a failure should make it obvious to even a child that he doesn't know what to do

Exactly.

The Leafs can lose the next 20 games in a row and he still will not be fired.

Game 7 was on a Sunday?

Babcock should have been fired last spring. It was extremely obvious this team was never going to take the next step with him by then. I'll admit I never expected a step back this large but their ceiling was always first round.

Ultimately it is Shanahans fault for throwing that term and $$ out in the first place. With any normal contract it's an easy decision and made in the spring.

 

[saffronleaf]

At least now that it is certain we won't make the playoffs I don't have to check my phone every morning to see if Babcock is fired.

Might be good to keep him on. He knows how to tank.
