Earlier this week, I asked you all to let me know your opinion on the future of Mike Babcock. In the days following the Maple Leafs’ heartbreaking and gutting Game Seven loss to the Bruins, talk around Babcock’s role in their demise hit a fever pitch.
Personally, I was, and continue to be, of the opinion that his time as Maple Leafs head coach has run its course.
This isn’t to say that Babcock is a bad coach. Not in the slightest. Babcock was the perfect stabilizing force for which to guide Toronto through a top-to-bottom rebuild upon his arrival.
