Go aheadWhat if Toronto ends up missing the playoffs by 1 point? Can Babcock not be blamed since he cost them wins by always starting Hutchinson on the second night of a back to back no matter what. One of those examples was in October when he played him against Boston on the second night, even though Andersen has a 12-3 regular season record against them and those were 2 points they lost in the standings.
you certainly wouldn’t want to think that choking up 2 games (a possible 8 point swing) to the team they are battling for 3rd in the division in January would be a factor. It was losing a road game to the hottest team in the league in October that was the tipping point.
