Screw Babcock. Such an overrated coach. Not to mention he screwed us over last time. We shouldn’t be crawling back to someone like that.

Keefe is the only TO coach that we should be interested in.

I also agree with this. I like how Babs is coaching the Leafs, keep him there. Botts should take a look at Keefe though, if permitted.

If Botterill hires Martin, they'll both be on the unemployment line next April.

That would be an awful decision on his part. He should go over to the WC and watch Gronborg behind the bench and take notes.

GMJB better not hire Babcock...the guy is a douche-bag he had his chance and decided to go to Toronto. The game has passed Babcock by he cannot coach the younger players or even relate to them. Look at the lineup he had in Toronto and he mishandled that team. Babcock can put it where the sun don’t shine. We need to be progressive and hire the best candidate on the world coaching circuit ( GRÖNBORG) !

Well Folks...what a shocker...that piece of sh!t Babs is blaming anyone but himself...The GM, the goalie, depth. Truth is That Leafs team is good. Real good. Loaded with talent. Generational coach? Leader? Bullpoop.
He’s a fraud.

Nobody knows what happened with him. Sometimes people will make allusions or imply things, but I haven't heard anything reputable. I haven't even heard much that was disreputable. The prevailing theory was something about Ryan Miller. Patty La wanted him or something?

He also bailed on the Islanders after about 5 minutes as well.

Babcock always looks like hes smelling something spoiled.

We go from gum chewer to smelly face mimicking

I like the markie coach, especially if they make another big run

Commodore was on the instigators a little while back and told a story about babs and why he is a scumbag and what not. It was hilarious

What happened with Pat LaFontaine?

@Chris E. Hey there, Chris. Getting a touchy one out of the way, eh?! There was what can best be described as a misunderstanding featuring Pat and Kim Pegula, and he was forced to resign. He has a confidentiality agreement so you won't hear anything from him, and the Pegulas aren't about talking about the past with this one.
I hope one day they can patch things up because it's a bit awkward to have one of the few players with his jersey retired not be close to the organization.

And again in a 2nd Q&A -

“In a nutshell, there was miscommunication regarding Kim Pegula. It was something that should have been fixed before he was forced to resign, but at least he's happy back in New York working for the NHL.”.



The way I understand it, someone told Kim Pegula that Lafontaine was talking bad about her. (My guess is that it may have been that power hungry friend Pegula hired that came from penn state. Can’t remember his name. The one that old Ryan Miller he was traded. Just a total guess though)
