I saw Commy's initial comments many years ago and laughed. Then he went on Detroit radio and savaged Babcock, and I kinda went "eh..". But now, to absolutely destroy a guy on Twitter who just lost his job, shows a profound lack of character. Commodore literally says that he and other players are "celebrating" it. I may think Babcock is a blowhard, but Mike Commodore isn't even a civilized man.
I hated the Spezza scratch to start the year. I thought bringing him in was a fucking great move by Dubas, at 700,000 grand too. I didn't understand one.

I totally agree, it was a classless move to a great player. Babcock got what he deserved. The next organization that gets him will have to think real hard.... win or a douche bag???
IS the Rear Admiral broadcasting from his Mom's bedroom?
The fact you never hear is name anymore spoken by anyone around the league speaks volumes to the character he is.

Keefe and Dubas go back a way. This has been a long time coming. Dubas has some players he really likes and Babcock seemed to be his polar opposite in both preference and treatment. It'll be interesting to see how Keefe decides to do things... but it should be pretty in line with whatever Dubas wants. That should improve the mood of the players... especially the top guys that were 'suffering' under Babcock. I'm not a Leafs fan, but if one thing comes out of all of this... I hope it is that Spezza gets given a few more chances.

Sheldon Keefe was a solid replacement and has actually made the team his, in their style of play. Finally, a cup contender!
It was getting bad. As a leaf fan I was actually hoping they would lose towards the end there just so they would replace him and I think the players were doing the same thing . Now it's on the players . You got paid and now it's time to get to work !

Pat Quinn at the 06 Olympics proved that not just anyone can coach a group of great players and win with ease. Go look at that team Canada roster full of hall of famers and look at how miserably they failed . I'm not a huge fan of that argument because Babcock winning only 1 cup, just proves how difficult it is to win and stay on top

Good talk men, I 100% agree this is the best thing that could have happened to Toronto and I hope for Babcock's sake, this is a flipping wake up call. He's not the best coach, he is very arrogant and stubborn. I mean WAKE UP YOU JUST GOT FIRED!!!! IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT BABCOCK. I bet more than half the players in Toronto hated playing for him, Babcock is NOT A FLIPPING PROPHET!!!! I love the podcast men.
What a stache biz
@9:52 *Sheldon Kennedy*
Yeah Commie!!!
Highest goals against, you don't win that way
Same thing as teams putting together an All Star of free agents, doesn't work. They say its not fantasy sports, its a real team. So no matter how stacked the 08 09 Detroit teams were. The coach gets credit. Just like the coach takes blame for the Stttacked Pens of 1993. Wicked take on Babs, Whits. Lol Thanks for the show guys.
Could this have happened? Commodores interview set things in motion. A bunch of expendable goons who are a risk to a team if they lead the team in party misbehavior, have infected the elite players perspective.
The players tuned out Mike , coaches have a shelf life of 4-5 years, I'm sure the 50 million Mike is sitting on helps .
RA is always a gem lol
Lol “shit canned” that’s hilarious take
I get what Babs was trying to do, bring structure and defence to a bunch of highflying cherrypickers but sometimes you just gotta accept what you have. Just let the boys play.
Surprisingly Biz was right on
Is Ray Whitney dunk?
Did RA flash the dab pen there at the end...? 🤣
4:37 They won't be able to use the coach as an excuse.
Past 4 cups: PIT, PIT, WSH, STL. 1st year pit coaching change. Second year, obviously, same coach. WSH no change STL changed coach. So arguably 3/4 cups are related to coaching changes p

@@HarryOsborneAS31 The only reason nashville was ever cup contending was due to his coaching. I don't have a short term memory at all, he had good defenders but I would hardly ever consider the forward core he was given as being anything special. He made the playoffs every single year he was in Washington (and made it out of the first round each time unlike babcock) and won a cup with them. I don't think he was considered a failure at any point. Sorry I disagree with you.

I think there's a few things. Your going to get tired fast trying to impress a coach. You can ride inspiration forever. On top of that the Leafs have two lines of top talent that as top talent have some of the lowest TOI in the league as far as top lines go. When you have a player who's historically has been the best in the NHL 5 on 5 and your losing games why are those lines playing so few minutes. Why when you have Defensive lines that aren't performing why aren't you changing them up. Also a ton of people are saying they didn't build a Babcock team. A coach being paid the biggest contract in league history should be able to adapt and he clearly couldn't. I hope he looks back on it and learns from it and comes back stronger and more able to adapt.

12:28 Just for the record, Babcock has gotten out of the first round since 2008... the Red Wings were back in the Final in 2009. Babcock also went to the second round in 2010, 2011, and 2013. Worth noting, perhaps, is the fact that in 2013 his Wings were eliminated by the eventual champion Chicago Blackhawks after previously holding a 3-1 series lead.

Babs is a winner
babcock was going one way with the team, dubas was going the other way. When they got rid of Lou Lamoriello it all went downhill. Lou was someone who had discipline and could set players straight. Lou would've never let nylander or marner get such terrible contracts, especially in TORONTO.

A year later, its amazing what has come out. Not a very nice man. What he did to Marner was disgusting. Good thing Marner wasn't my son. Later, on the CBC, he said something about tanking to get the first overall pick. If that is true, Mr Bettman needs an investigation. That said, I cannot see the players ever tanking. Its not in their DNA. If yes, what a conspiracy. I have always considered Prairie kids as the most honest hard working people on earth. Asking: how does Babcock fit into that group. He does not, in my opinion.
