from James Tanner of Editor in Leaf,
The Toronto Maple Leafs are not playing well, and in my opinion, all of their problems stem from terrible decisions made by Mike Babcock, which I will list shortly.
The precedent for firing coaches late in the season was set by Kyle Dubas mentor and previous Leafs GM Lou Lamoriello fired head coach Claude Julien with three games left in the season, while on a winning streak, and leading their division.
Claude Julien remains one of the most respected coaches in the NHL. Sometimes it’s just not working.
Kyle Dubas would be smart to take a piece out of the Lou Lamoriello playbook and can Mike Babcock because this is a joke.
