Video: Marc Andre Fleury May Have Cost Mike Babcock His Job
Granted, Marc Andre isn’t responsible for the 5 losses in a row and Mike’s indomitable, insufferable need to assert his game plan despite the reality of what’s in front of him doesn’t help.
But Jesus Christ, what a save by Fleury.

Fleury may have done the Leafs a favor. It’s not a matter of if’ Babs gets fired, it’s a matter of when. American thanksgiving seems to be the drop-dead date for a coaching change according to people we’ve spoken with. And here’s something, what if Mike isn’t as good a coach as he was made out to be when he arrived on a golden unicorn 5 years ago.
Every year ends with player/fan frustration and hockey minds beating the same ‘Mike needs to change his coaching style’ drum.
Every year Mike flies to Arizona to apologize to Matthews
Unlike every year, this team is fucked before Christmas and there isn’t a Leaf fan alive that wouldn’t welcome a change behind the bench in an attempt to salvage a playoff run.
Mike Babcock putting out the fourth line out after the Leafs finally tie the game is the equivalent of finally getting a baby to fall asleep and then ripping a loud, wet fart next to it’s crib.

Fucking insulting to the fans at this point. From top to bottom, the Toronto Maple Leafs think their fans are fucking morons.

Why/How?
Mike Babcock was not their coach— Sorrey 4 My Interpretation (@S4_M_I) November 16, 2019
If you have Babcock getting canned before Friday on your ‘Fire Babs Bingo Board’ you could be a BIG winner.
Someone tell Sheldon Keefe to pack his shit and prep to move it down the street.
It’s time.
(dramatic ending)
