The Toronto Maple Leafs are in crisis after losing 5-games straight.
Disappointing wouldn’t even begin describing how the Toronto Maple Leafs season is going so far. Whereas starting the season it was suggested Mike Babcock needed to win at least one playoff series this season to keep his job, it’s now a question whether Toronto will even qualify for the playoffs and finish the season with Babcock behind the bench.
For the injury-plagued Toronto Maple Leafs to miss the playoffs this season, would be nothing short of a disaster. It would lay waste to the additional (rental) pieces of the Leafs Blueprint, carefully put together by Dubas in Jake Muzzin, Tyson Barrie, and Cody Ceci.
The Toronto Maple Leafs will play 10 of the next 12 games on the road, with Marner, Kerfoot, and Moore out due to injuries, it will be challenging not to fall behind on the divisional rivals for a playoff spot.
While the Toronto Maple Leafs aren’t exactly lucky when it comes to their schedule and injuries this season, both aren’t the factors to blame for the poor results.
So, who to blame?
Pressure on Mike Babcock has been since last playoff elimination, with the current results pressures is at an all-time high and speculation on whether he is (still) the right coach for this team is ever there.
It’s unreasonable, however, to put all the blame on Babcock. The players have their share in the results, they’re on the ice playing and performing badly, not always due to Babcock.
That’s why for this weeks roundtable, the staff writers of Editor In Leaf gathered to discuss this weeks roundtable question; “Who has been the most disappointing this season?”
