In the days of Ballard, He would have sent a msg to the bench that Babcock is fired.  Can someone dig up Ballard just for the 3rd period???

Something is up. I mean, the team is seemingly regularly unprepared. Outworked. Uninterested and /or just totally tuned out. His systems also should be suspect at this point. Nothing much is working with any kind of consistency... For months.
 
I'm not pinning all of their struggles in this and the Tampa game on injuries, but I really think people are underestimating the effect having only 1 (ONE) puck-moving defenceman in the line-up can have on a team.

I don't know why Babs moved away from Muzz and Rielly. Maybe Morgan didn't like playing the right side?
It does seem tho that anyone who plays with Zaitsev struggles. I would play OZ over Marincin tho. I would also be playing Holl. He needs to play. It's really unfortunate that Rosen and Borgman are hurt.

Babcock is stubborn as a mule. He'll do his own thing regardless of what anyone else thinks

Yeah, having them both at once is unfillable.

Both of them at once AND your next best puck mover on the Marlies. Plus Borgman too. Just terrible timing.

Boy you aren't kidding.  So are Rosen and Borgman done for the season? 
 
16-14 since Dec30th.  Opponents have figured out a system Babcock refuses to change.  Look at that confused look he has every time camera pans on him.  Players will eventually quit on him as they did in Detroit. Some refused to re-sign if he remained as coach.  Plays to many favorites regardless of their talent or output.  Look at the defensive pairings in this game. Vintage Babcock. Enjoy 1st round as that as far as this team is getting with him as coach. $7 million dollar man making pee wee coaching decisions.

I don't know about done for the season but Keefe said the other day there hasn't been any progress on either and they aren't expected back any time soon.

Ugh.  Ugh ugh ugh.

I don't have high hopes for either Gardiner or Dermott being effective in the playoffs if they are back at all.

If they can't come back ... Liljegren?  Just to get his feet wet?

Heard it earlier today that the Leafs actually thought about bringing Sandin up. I think Elliot Friedman said it on Tim and Syd.

Dermott I'm not too worried about. Assuming he's healed I don't think coming off a shoulder injury should limit his play. But Gardiner's back injury, who the heck knows what's happening there. It's also going to be interesting to see if/how that effects his next contract.

I would think Liljegren should be getting the call.
