Mad Lib NHL Awards: Mike Babcock [wins/loses] Jack Adams award for coach of the year

Mike Babcock is great but the NHL Awards are mostly stupid, so we thought we’d let you write your own story about his[victory/loss]. (Okay, so he lost.)

Back in April of 2017, so long ago, Mike Babcock, the Oilers' Todd McLellan, and Blue Jackets’ John Tortorella were all nominated for the NHL's Jack Adams Award for the coach who contributes the most to his team's success. This year's winner was [Todd McLellan/John Tortorella/Mike Babcock], much to the [joy/consternation] of Leafs fans everywhere.
