Around the NHL: Part XVIII

[NYR Viper]

I wonder of Babcock would consider a position in management over coaching

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Babcock is a fine coach but a bit of a dinosaur set in his ways

[Irishguy42]

Babcock? More like BADcock

'Like' button is on the right, thanks.

Yeah, people were mad with how AV made and used lines, they’re mad about Haley being in the line up, they’d be furious with Babcock

That's not what your <insert cherished adult female figure from your life here> said.

 

[Trxjw]

Babcock is overrated. Riding his reputation at this point.

 

[Tawnos]

I never really understood the power dynamic there. Babcock seemed to wield an awful lot for a coach.

 

[Edge]

A reminder that Babcock hasn't had a team make it out of the first round of the playoffs since 2013.

His methods have produced continually declining results over the better part of a decade now, after peaking around 2008/2009.

 

[Irishguy42]

after peaking around 2008/2009

Oh...yeah...pretty good roster, eh?

Yeah but what about team Canada roster for the gold medal he won huh????

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I mean he built his reputation in 2003 with the Los Angeles Mighty Ducks of Anaheim Streaming Exclusively on Disney+.

But yeah that was a long time ago.

 

[JimmyG89]

Think Babcock ends up with a team that doesn't get their shitntogether mid season, like Tampa. Have to think he's familiar with some of the players there.

I could see them, Calgary, or San Jose going after him

 

[bobbop]

Sammy Blair’s out 10 weeks. St. Louis signs Troy Brower. Got to think they are looking for some scoring..

His best work was 10+ years ago.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Well looks like Paul Maclean is in Columbus as an assistant to torts.... wish we could have gotten him

Looks like I may have let the cat out of the bag a couple days early, announced today Maclean is hired.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Babcock sucks. I wouldnt hire him to coach a rock fight.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Babcock sucks. I wouldnt hire him to coach a rock fight.

I wouldn't jettison Quinn to take him on, but he wouldn't be a bad add as an assistant coach. His ego won't allow him to take an assistant's job though.

It doesn't hurt him that he had two generational talents on his rosters in Anaheim and Detroit when he won his Cups, but ultimately he helped get those teams past the finish line.

Babcock as the coach in the middle of this decade and the Rangers would have a Cup, maybe back to back in 2014 and 2015, though I don't think any coach could have overcome the injuries the 2015 team had.

He's too stubborn and needs an all star team to win. He can only coach one type of team and its obvious. The team canada team he coached should have bombed through everyone but instead he had them playing 2-1 games, he is ridiculous.

 

[Leetch3]

 

[duhmetreE]

160pts has not been touched since prime Lemieux and Gretzky.. It'd be great for the game IMO.

McDavid deserves the spotlight

Babcock has only won 1 Stanley Cup. His other claim to fame is being the only coach to lose a Game 7 Stanley Cup Final with two teams.

 

[tbassler]

Mackinnon and Makar on now. Avs vs. Wild. Must watch TV

 

[Tob]

Flames losing patience, Avs very injured, Leafs looking to shake up, Sabres are desperate for forward help, Canucks sliding in NOV. Hopefully some trades shake loose soon. Get ahead of the deadline a bit.
