Question. Is Babcock really that much better at coaching than others?
All his success has been with teams filled with star players.

I know he's a good coach.....but 6 millon dollars good?
Just a thought

But why do you care about his salary?

Means nothing to Leafs fans.

Does it matter at 6 million? No impact on the cap, it's just money.

I don't know either wedgie, San Jose is my bet now that a few said St. Louis is out.
- LeafMan


St. Louis isn't technically out, but they are meeting with Hitchcock right now to get a deal done which leads to believe they are out.

The MLSE jet is on it's way to Detroit, but so is the St. Louis Blues Toyota Corolla.

Quick question for everyone:

If the Leafs sign Babcock, is it OK for me to put my Leafs flags on the minvan and drive up and down Yonge Street honking my horn?

Some flight information that might be interesting.

"It's also worth noting that Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment's Gulfstream IV Private Jet is heading into Detroit at 5PM today, arriving at 5:42, and departing at 5:45. Not sure if you can make a concrete connection, but there's something interesting there."

Source says Babcock told Blues 2 days ago he was out. Things change? If not, the Leafs may have won the sweepstakes

no... just drive down to Buffalo with a Leaf jersey with Babcocks name on it in the rear window.

you'll have to honk a lot though ... no windows in Buffalo - so you'd have to draw the folks out of their caves to see it.

More than ok. This is encouraged.

In fact, I would say mandatory.
