After an embarrassing game Saturday night against the Penguins, the Toronto Maple Leafs need a new direction.
They need a new voice.
They need someone who can implement the GM’s vision. That person is clearly not Mike Babcock.
Why he wasn’t fired when he complained to the press about the team getting Jake Muzzin and then Nic Petan is a mystery.
How he kept his job over the summer when for a second straight year he had to travel to meet the team’s best player to (allegedly) smooth things over, is another one.
