The leafs fans here in Toronto are even more pathetic then the trolls that go on HB.
I had a coworker come and tell me that leafs hired Babcok for 8yrs 50 Mil.
I said OK.
And then he said we will for sure win the cup.
So I said you think so?
His response well Babcock wants to win the cup and leafs gave him the best shot.
My response was Buffalo would have given him a way better shot and in a shorter time frame.
He responded with Buffalo? Are the leafs really worse then Buffalo? We have a better team, better prospects, top goalie, Norris caliber dman, top scorer and now the best coach in NHL, how is Bufffalo better?
.....my response. I told him atleast Buffalo made to the SCF in his lifetime. Apparently now I am a leafs hater and the talk of the office.

They are easy to hate, so I wouldn't worry.
When Babcock hits the ice and sees an overweight Kessel , a lazy Dion, and a Lupul who is more interested in his hair and clothes instead of players with work ethics of Zetterberg, Datsyuk or Lidstrom, let's see how he does. It is stupid money to throw at a team that has no chance. Once again Leafs look for quick fixes by throwing stupid money at a problem.
Let's see Babcocks reputation in 5 years. I am sure he will have 50 million reasons to not give a sh1t
