Babcock>Green without a doubt.

 

Not only does he have better systems but he knows what to say. When was the last time you ever heard him say "I thought we played good, we had our chances, they're a heavy team, that's hockey sometimes" after a loss? Yeah, never. Good coaches never do. Just look at the 6-5 loss to Chicago the other night. The Leafs were down 4-1 in the 1st period. They played their a$$e$ off to get back in it and nearly succeeded in tying it. What did Babcock say after the game? "Our first 10 minutes weren't good enough." Would Green have said that?

Babs.  He’s a proven winner, when he has dedicated 200 foot playing star players.  I don’t think he’s much of a systems guy as he is a coach who demands guys play the right way for the role they’re put in.

All I can say is I don’t think Green will be the guy that takes this core to the next level. 

Correct.  I don't see Green coaching this team to a Stanley Cup championship any time soon.  We'll need an experienced coach to get to that level.

All I know is that Babcock wouldn't put Eriksson near the lineup or put Leivo on the 1st PP unit.

Crazy thought is what if it truly was Green that was the problem the whole time with Eriksson, and all of a sudden under Babcock, we get the Eriksson that we expected when he was signed as a UFA.  That would completely transform this team.

I suppose one can dream.... but really, no matter what hypothetical we spin... Erickson is Erickson's problem

I'm seeing the same difficiencies as last season starting to show up again. 

 

Green coaches a game that relies on scoring to win and when other teams use defence the canucks can't seem to score

 

Babcock might not be the answer but with a proven coach available he might be worth the risk
