Toronto Maple Leafs Fire Mike Babock and Hire Sheldon Keefe

The Toronto Maple Leafs lost six games in a row, haven’t held a lead in a game since October (or it feels like it) and now they’ve lost their coach.

Sheldon Keefe will take over immediately.

This is good news for the Leafs, and gives them at least a shot at salvaging their season. (Personally, I think they’ll have no problem doing so – they’re a team that will eventually be great).

Toronto Maple Leafs Mike Babcock

This was a move that should have happened in the summer, as it was clear after last year’s loss to the Bruins that Babcock wasn’t the guy to take this team to the promised land.
