I have posted before about this static thinking that coaches such as Babcock follow:  2nd game of a back-to-back, gotta play your back-up.  Your back-up, as in ;your 2nd-best goalie.

Your #1 is coming off back-to-back shutouts, for crying out loud, against less than stellar opposition, yes.  But still, 2 SO in a row.  That means nothing?  Gotta stick with the plan?

Can't put him in vs a team you might hafta beat out for a playoff spot?  You'd rather go with your weaker goalie?  And then, post game, he goes into a rant about some other guys somewhere in the organization telling players, hey, guess what, you're probably tired from playing so much?  Bit of a contradiction, passing the buck, hypocritical little tangent there, 1 could say.

Seems nobody amongst that august collection of lapdog reporters noticed that Mr. Babcock, he who walks on water for certain of Your Leafs nation persuasion, was both sucking and blowing at the same time.
