No one is getting fired over a loss tonight, but an under-performing Leafs team entering a Saturday night in Pittsburgh on the second half of a back-to-back early in the year, with key personnel missing from the Penguins lineup, does trigger memories of the night Mike Babcock’s tenure as a coach effectively ended in Toronto with a miserable 6-1 loss.
Add in the exasperated reaction online and the jersey toss during the loss to San Jose last night, while this isn’t a panic situation by any means yet, it’s clear the goodwill with the fan base is at its lowest point in the Kyle Dubas and Sheldon Keefe era.
