You can tell Mike Babcock is no longer residing in Toronto by the way Babcock’s replacement as Maple Leafs coach talks about goaltenders. “We’ve developed some real confidence in Hutch when he’s gone in as the starting goaltender,” Keefe said. His .905 career save percentage ranks 61st of the 64 goaltenders who’ve played at least 100 games since 2013-14, the season Hutchinson made his debut. We want to be patient, we need to show our belief (in Hutchinson),” Dubas said in December. And Penguins GM Jim Rutherford, a former Leafs goaltender, knows the smell of Toronto-based desperation.
