Right now for Mike Babcock in Toronto, the sun is still shining, the birds (Blue Jays especially) are still chirping and the honeymoon phase with Maple Leafs fans still seems lovey-dovey.
On one hand, nothing has changed in Toronto. The Leafs' glory days remain mired in black-and-white Kodachrome, when men carried silver cigarette cases and wore coats, ties and Fedoras to games at Maple Leaf Gardens. Your Leafs of 2015-16 are off to a 1-3-1 start, with 12 goals for and 17 against, including a humiliating loss against Babcock's former employer, the Detroit Red Wings.
