I'm not sure how many bothered to read the article but this to me is kind of why I hate Toronto so much;

Too often in recent years the Jack Adams has gone to a one-off: a coach whose underdog team had a fluky, percentage-driven run to success that wasn’t going to be sustainable the next season. The last three winners – Paul MacLean, Patrick Roy and Bob Hartley – all fit that description.

One-off??? The great Mike Backcock has won a single Stanley Cup as head coach which is exactly the same as that one-off coach Bob Hartley. Not only that the Flames are a younger team than the Leafs and it's not like Babcock is using three kids under 22 years old in his top six forward group like Hartley. He's guiding a team full of mediocre veteran players to a mediocre record and since when was that Jack Adams material? I guess it is when it's the great Mike Babcock in Toronto.
