Aitchmack Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) That's a no for me as well. Sheldon Keefe would've been a much better bet imo. There's bound to be a team that wants Babacock though so his firing might start a few dominos falling.

Guadana Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) I dont like a babcocks person but our team needs some shake-up. If he didnt work with us - next offseason gives options. Edited November 20, 2019 by Guadana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils744 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 We already have a coach who loves playing 4th liners way too much. We don't need someone who would do it even more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Absolutely yes to Babcock, and there are some rumors that he saw this coming and was feeling out other teams over the past week or so. So hopefully that's why Ray hasn't fired Hynes yet. Whatever his reputation, the indisputable fact is that if you give him a good roster he'll win significantly more games than he'll lose. So either you'll forever stop using the gifs of Ray with the sunglasses because he hasn't assembled good players, or you realize that we need a proven coach, who is there to be had for nothing and at a monetary discount since the Leafs are still obligated to pay him for a while. And his reputation is probably not accurate. He certainly did not stand in the way of Matthews and Marner becoming very wealthy men. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) I do think Babs is a little overrated, but compared to Thulsa Doom we have behind the bench this would be an obvious improvement. That and I doubt a better option is waiting in the wings somewhere. Edited November 20, 2019 by DevsMan84 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All coaches play fourth liners to a degree, you're kidding yourself if you think you'll find a successful coach that doesn't play fourth liners 8-10 minutes a game and look for grinders. And btw this is just embarassing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevils1214 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Toronto aside, Babcock has had success in the past. I'd absolutely give him a shot here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagknife Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Babcock can win, he’ll hold these mental midgets accountable but he also benched Matthews and Tavares in 3rd periods when down one. And also barely (relatively speaking compared to other 1’s) in key situations. but hell its a change. Go get him Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antiquated Colorado Rockie Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 How ridiculous that Hynes is the fifth longest tenured coach. Clearly he has done nothing to warrant this top 5 distinction. Fire him yesterday. There are questions about Babcock but on his worst day he would be an upgrade over our loser of a head coach. And fire him whether Babcock wants to come here or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
