Yeah kind of not what I meant in the slightest, but you are free to ignore that exaggerate all you want. I didn't say he should be running the show, just being played as most players of his caliber are.

Ew. That sounds sub-human. He has probably been punched in the face before and been with an actual woman.

Yup, I made a similar comment earlier. If Keefe had taken over prior to the season started the expectation would be home ice in the playoffs and two rounds at minimum. If Keefe takes over now or in the next couple weeks there is very little expectations - basically just to stop the freefall and stabilize at some point - and if the team managed to make the playoffs at this point I think a lot of people would be thrilled.
Yeah, he really should have gotten out there and played f***ing HURT! That really would have solidified his chance of making this team!And I'd love to hear an explanation for why a 150-checks-per-year defenseman like Jake Muzzin apparently forgot that skill when he came to Toronto, 'cause "The whole team is a bunch of wimps" ain't a good one.

Maybe you should bet on your team, not yourself...
This quote is really bad considering the situation of things.

not sure if this is a sarcastic post or not (never can tell on here) but muzzins hits and even block shots totals plummet as soon as he is traded to the leafs it truly is amazing. His lowest hit total in LA was 162 over a full season, toronto this season on pace for 128. The year he was traded here he played 50 games for LA and 30 games for the leafs
HITS:
In LA 50 games on pace for: 182
In Toronto 30 games on pace for: 119
BLOCKS:
In LA 50 games on pace for: 150
In TO 30 games on pace for: 114
That is the same season, that has to be coaching on pace for similar hits this season (128) not even close to his lowest total in LA. Blocks he hasnt seen as massive a drop but they have dropped too
I just....
Told you guys already, we are facing a textbook narcissist. He is a mental case, he has serious issues. This isn't even funny anymore.
The fact that Babcock is still not fired scares me.
What are they waiting for?
Does Dubas not have the authority to do it?
Who is protecting Babcock?
How long will this go on?

I mean, betting on yourself isn't a narcissistic thing. Do you expect him to be woe is me?
He's saying he's going to coach until he's told he's not the coach himself and he's confident in himself. Nothing wrong with that
A simple acknowledgement that ‘yes I’ve not been good enough and need to be better’ would suffice. Guy has a serious superiority complex, not hard to see if the players have in fact gotten sick of him
Let's be honest would you really be betting on this team right now?? Babcock has a better track record of success than some of those players. That doesn't mean Babcock is the right man for the job but some of those players are clearly dogging it and that is more disgraceful than anything Babcock has said.
He was always egoist and loved to remind everyone that he knows everything way better than anyone.
...and now he's talking about himself in 3rd person.
This is scary.

I think its speaking in the 3rd person that comes off as odd.

Maybe, but nothing about the way he ever speaks suggests to me he is quietly telling his players he’s not doing a very good job and it’s on him
Frizzer believes that Babcock should be fired right now and I have always trusted frizzer’s opinions

well, nobody ever thought that the problem was he lacked confidence in himself. The reality is his approach isn't working now, and rather than hint towards being flexible or open to changing things up, all he wants to say is he's betting on Mike Babcock. It would be nice if he said something about betting on the players or the management rather than continuing to act like he's on his own island, but oh well
Same thing he said when the players or the team got booed. The fans and the media have the right to think what they think.
Maybe there is a reason why everyone turned on him lately.
his track record means f*** all in the NHL he hasnt been passed the 2nd round of the playoffs in 10 years 6 1st round exits in that time 3 2nd round exits. those playes have a track record of 3 1st round exits so they really arent far behind babcock. The game changes so quickly that anything past 5 years ago is almost getting too far back

He is a jackass but he is the same jackass he has been for 5 years. He will not change.
