Fire Babcock fire him now!

He will at some point. If we're seeing the bad trends / strategies / lineup decisions already, you know the people that are a lot smarter than us are seeing it as well.
I think we'll see a change at the 15-20 game mark if this continues (like with Quenneville).
The ones that are not forgivable for me are not playing your best players more when losing, not playing your best players in the last minute and a half when losing (Johnsson for Nylander in St.Louis game), and somehow always having worse line matchups at home than on the road.
Like how do you PLAN worse matchups than teams put together when they're trying to shut us down on their home ice? It's unfathomable really..
I agree I think dubas and Shanahan have to be looked at tooi could care less if he gets fired but who do we blame if the teams play doesn't improve ?
Are we playing the best system to maximize what Dubas has put together?Fire Babcock, hmm interesting. That certainly is a potential silver lining around this dark cloud of a start to the season. Not sure who I should be rooting for tomorrow now.
5 years is soonI hope Dubas fires Babcock. After his boy the golden Marlie fails it's Dubler who will get fired.
Leafs next shot for cup is 3-5 years away. Cap will need to raise and make thlse bad deals look less bad. Too bad Matthews is up soon.
Heh.
What will you do once he’s gone and you still have 22 million dollars in John Tavares and Mitch Marner playing like jags?
Funny, they talked about this yesterday on the radio - as much as I’m not a Pierre McGuire fan, he nailed it. Many Leaf fans love their players and don’t hold them accountable, it’s easier to blame the coach or the front office when your hero looks like a zero.
Freddy was terrible, the defense was terrible.... so let’s fire the coach. Great idea!
I think we do hold the players accountable but it’s easier to change 1 guy instead of 20.Heh.

Not at all. Nobody gets off the hook... but, this didn’t shock me. I knew they’d have trouble defending elite offense and unless Freddy is at his best, they’d have no chance.I'm not giving anyone a free pass, especially not the "nouveau rich" kids but as the old maxim says (paraphrasing) - it's easier to fire the coach then it is to fire all the players.
And Freddy and the defense may have been terrible but the coach has been terrible for some time now, I hope you're not implying that he should be getting a free pass.

Last night just reiterated that the defense is arguably worse than last year.
