Komarov and Plekanec both suck.
Thankfully, we still have guys like Moore and Leivo who could replace them.
Unfortunately, Babcock is our coach.
In a fantasy hockey playoffs pool, one typically selects on the basis of regular season stats. So say Crosby is available. He's had Malkin, Fleury, Letang...he could be a product of his environment. Maybe he's talented. Consistent winning seems to indicate the latter.
When Babcock was available, there wasn't, and hasn't been, a better coach on the market since. Maybe he's the product of his former environment. Maybe he's talented. Consistently winning wherever he goes seems to indicate the latter.
And, fortunately, since he's been here, his Maple Leafs club, seems to have done more in the regular season than any other.
How in the hades, can someone on one hand, say in relief, that thankfully, we can lean on Josh Leivo (and I'm a Leivo fan and have defended him in the HFboards jungle outside the Leafs section) and Moore, but lament a coach that has had the success he's had everywhere he's gone, but more importantly, a game ago, as the coach of a franchise setting regular season?
