There’s a saying in sports, “he’s coaching to not get fired” Does a coach ever coach, to get fired? Because what is Mike Babcock doing in Toronto? Instead of having Andersen playing against the lesser opponent in back to back situations, he’s played game one. He beat Columbus and Hutchinson lost to the Habs, then Andersen beat the Wild who can’t score, then Hutchinson lost in Washington. I know, the ol’ Monday Morning QB. But it’s obvious who Andersen should have started against. Last night the Leafs were down a goal in the final two minutes. Marner and Matthews were on the bench. Yeah, why have them on. Monday the Leafs are home to the Blue Jackets, Tuesday they are at Boston. I wonder who starts in those games?
