    Babcock still not owning up to the criticism. This guy's ego is insane.

    He'd still be the Leaf coach if it didn't get in his way.

    If he played Matthews with Marner, I'm sure they outscore their issues/roster makeup.

    That's the Babcock way. I'm sure Datsyuk just hated playing for him.

    If he didn't do it for free, he'd risk foregoing his excellent Leafs paqycheque. Aren't they paying him until 2047?

    I know, it was just a joke... but that's for sure why it's free.

    Oh ya, I knew it was a joke. But ya that's why it's free. If a coach signs another deal, it'll void their deal with the team that fired them.

    I guess he didn't like his NBC job too much?

    Not always, sometimes there's an offset clause... but in this case I think there isn't.

    He's terrible on TV in my opinion. He needs to coach.

    I mentioned people who want to be a coach still in the league shouldn't go on TV. You can't be impartial while on TV and be good at your job, and you can't have a coaching future if you're critical of players for TV. Especially with Babcock's past.
