Wings coaching advantage over Anaheim

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Well, with Mike Babcock coming from the Ducks system, do the the Red Wings have an advantage in this series with Mike Babcock maybe having an inside knowledge on some of the duck young players. Some of whom he coached in Cincinnati and Anaheim.

i would say ... no. with technology as it is today, i'd say most teams are pretty prepared as far as tendencies, player skills, strategies, etc ... bottom line is you still have to play the guys, and you never know for sure what they'll do until they do it ...

Doubtful. The Ducks are a completely and utterly different team than they were with Babcock behind the bench. He may know what Kunitz's favorite movie is but I don't know if that's much of an advantage.

Different team, different personnel than the team Babcock had in 03-04 in Anaheim.

In 03-04 the Ducks were pretty much a one-trick pony line. Any scoring coming from a line outside Kariya on it was a bonus.

Now, in my opinion, the Ducks can still play that trapping style I think, but they can open up the offense when needed.

Getzlaf , Penner , Perry , Kunitz , mcdonald , Giguere , Pahlson.

He knows alot of there team

Never coached - Getzlaf, Penner, Perry

Only coached Kunitz for 21 games.

He has coached the others a little more. That said, I'm not sure any familiarity with any of the players is a real advantage, maybe a little.
