Episode description
Prashanth Iyer from The Athletic joins us this week to break down the man, the myth, the legend: Mike Babcock. After 2.5 years of coaching the Leafs and 10 years in Detroit, Prashanth and I discuss some of the trends we've observed over the years. Here's a list of the topics we touch on:
1:27 - Grinders getting lots of ice time (Komarov, Abdelkader)
16:20 - Skilled players struggling to get minutes (Nylander, Hudler)
27:35 - Age bias (Kapanen/Leivo, Nyquist/Tatar)
43:46 - But, Babcock's still probably the best coach in the league.
