They lost a 1-0 game to Canada. (Which was really the US gold medal game)

Was it his fault Kane failed to score on his penalty shot?

Then the players decided not to show up for the game against Finland.


But he only has one cup right?

I mean Babcock has soooo many more than that.

dude I don't know what game you're watching he's one terrible game planner he destroyed that USA Hockey team made literally the dumbest decisions I've ever seen he cost us
and don't get me started about Pittsburgh he had two of the best players in the world is no excuse he should have more cups

McDavid will score 40+ multiple times in his career.
- Pierceme69


Ok, and if eichel scores 25-30 a year and turns his linemates into 30 goal guys fine.

Idk how this became mcdavid vs eichel. My point was between buffalo and toronto the sabres will have the best player, the sabres have the better pipeline, the sabres have a more experienced person as a GM.

Toronto has nothing on the ice or in the pipeline that is more appealing at this point, and babcock will go to toronto, coach them up and out of lottery contention with a roster that underachieved.

In two years babcock will realize he made a mistake if all he wanted was to "win"

Leafs are a rebuilding team. He's coming in early, with a say in player decisions, to help shape that rebuild, and the processes behind player development.

For a guy who wants to win and is confident in his abilities, that's huge.

Yeah, except in todays nhl you almost have to be in the top 5 of the draft multiple times to get the best players. He wont be coaching them to the bottom 5.

If this is his first step in a new direction for his life (career) after coaching then good for him making the decision he needed to make.

As a sabres fan i hope he fails miserably.

Babcock - One cup. Coaching 3 of the best players in the game. Best coach ever.

I am on board with you.
Now, I am kind of OK with him not coming to Buffalo.
He just wanted power.
I don't know if he really wanted a team that has lots of upside and potentials, rather fall for the same crap that all of the other coaches have in Toronto!!
I hope he FAILS!!!
