Maybe to keep him fresh for the 1st round? Just a thought!
Because he’s not that good
Same
I don't understand how he was hired to be an analyst. Very sad.
I believe next year when he's making 11 million plus his ice time will go up.
He'll get lots more time with Kadri out. Tavares is the number one centre, the captain of the team, therefore will get more ice time. Babcock and Mathews will never get along like Pierre Page and Mats Sundin never did
Who cares?
Need to address the weaknesses first, 43 51 33 have to go, other wise they will be exsposed even more when the real battle begins, once again.
No effin kidding! This guy should be playing 25 minutes a night!
You win with four lines. Still a team sport. Playoffs is the start of the season.
MSavvy91 numbers 91 16 43 There were 6 mins in Pk yesterday Other teams are a man team
Because he's not the coach.
same questions can be raised from why hainsey gets more minutes than muzzin. Babcock has his golden boys that he favors

So Marner and JT are the only forwards at more TOI per game than Austin. Marner gets extra ice time on the PK. JT gets about 50 seconds more a game. Not anything to really worry about.
No one does Marc. No. One.
That’s the problem when you have too much depth. Not a bad problem to have really.
He’s not a head coach, probs never will be, and borderline analyst, work on your own game first
Neither do we, Marc. Babs is strange.

Nobody does
It’s beyond me.
He doesn't use Matthews on the PK. If Toronto stays out of the box, Matthews minutes would reflect differently. Matthews is one of the strongest 5on5 players in the league. They use him traditionally in the first line change after a PK. Traditionally.
Because Babcock is an overrated clown.

He’s not the only one
