When I saw the news pop up at the top of my FB feed last night, I dismissed it as one of those stupid fan page Leafs rumors crap that appears from time to time. Then I saw that it was Sportsnet and I fucking just felt my soul slip out of my body. I can't believe they could be so dumb.
And this shit is starting to cement in my mind that Keefe is running this fucking organization somehow. There's no way two different GMs go out and acquire the same fucking Babushkin for us because both GMs thought he was great. This is the dumb fuck coach somehow exerting influence when it makes no sense for him to have any. This is a guy we all figured was 1.5 steps out the door when Dubas left. How the fuck a new GM comes in, immediately rewards the total failure of a coach, and then caters to his every whim even worse than the guy who originally hired him is absolutely mind-boggling.
Why even have a GM? How long before Keefe just takes that position too like Quinn did back in the day? How many more playoff flameouts before someone in ownership decides that a great regular season record which is 110% achieved on the backs of like 5 guys maybe isn't enough to warrant more time for this guy?
I have zero confidence in Tre now, and don't think anyone knows what the fuck they're doing over there. So, of course we will win the Cup now, but it'll be because 34 + 16 + 88 + 91 + 44 = more than the impact of some fat schmuck stuck behind the bench.
