Mike Babcock screws the Toronto Maple Leafs over one last time
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins first round playoff series came down to overtime in game 7 to send the Leafs packing early yet again as they have continued to fall short of being able to advance beyond the first round of the playoffs, but it appears as if Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery had help from a formed Toronto coach, who is now disgraced.
According to Luke Fox of Sportsnet, Bruins coach Montgomery got words of encouragement and positive reinforcement from Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Coopet and former Leafs head coach Mike Babcock before beating Toronto in overtime last night; take a look.

The irony of disgraced former coach Mike Babcock helping the Bruins beat the Leafs is rich. Given not only how he lost him job, but the hatred he obviously still has for the organization.
If you're a Leafs fan, they just keep finding ways the team keeps finding ways to hurt you. Of course, someone from Toronto's past would be part of the reason their arch rivals would go on to eliminate them from the playoffs.
