If you want to suggest he's got this opinion to be popular with Leaf fans, why then does he rip them so much? I believe my comment on him being a "Stats Geek" and basing his opinions on them is absolutely true. Want proof? Read his Twiiter feed. Everything is advanced stats.

Yup the Leafs are bad in advanced stats, bad in the standings, bad from the eye test, bad at scoring goals, bad at letting in goals. Yes they are one point behind the Flames, who have had the worst start to the season in franchise history.
This guy Mirtle writes an article saying that Babcock could be considered for the coach of the year award. And you're defending him, saying he's not a homer and that the article is legit. Can you let that sink in as to what you're saying about your own team? That their coach has done such a good job with what he has that he might deserve coach of the year, and that the team is one point behind a Flames team that has had the worst start in Flames history? Where there was legit talk earlier in the year of canning the coach that
actually won the coach of the year last year?
If you actually think the Leafs are better than people give them credit for, you should be blasting Mirtle and his article.
