I don't agree calling Hartley a "One-Off", but in fairness it was years since his last success when he won last season. His cup win was 14 years ago with little to nothing to show. The other 2 examples were great ones and typical of Jack Adams winners over the years.
The idea the media is suddenly discovering and praising Babcock now that he's with the Leafs is silly. He's been at least consensus top 3 if not consensus top coach for years.

When he was doing good things in Detroit, he should have gotten a Jack Adams or two, yes.
But talking JA
this year is leaf/laughable.
