A Thank You to Toronto Maple Leafs Coach Mike Babcock
As we all know, the Toronto Maple Leafs have fired head coach Mike Babcock.
The announcement came somewhat out of the blue following the Leafs’ practice in Arizona on Wednesday.
The tweet was met with joy and celebration by the vocal majority of Leafs nation, a feeling a lacked when I first laid eyes upon the Leafs PR tweet.
Mike Babcock’s journey to the Leafs was shrouded in mystery and anticipation. Every step the Canadian coach made seemed to travel miles. After what seemed like an eternity, Babcock replaced head coach Peter Horachek as the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs on May 20th 2015.
