Hank Dats 'N Homer 81 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 There was a game a few years ago where the refs were killing us the whole game. Babcock was livid throughout the entire game standing on the bench and screaming, swearing and pointing at the refs. I think the wings somehown took the game to overtime and the refs called another phantom call on the wings and the other team ended up scoring on that power play. Babcock stood on the bench and waited for EVERY player to leave the ice and then continued to stare down the refs for a few minutes while laughing and clapping towards them. It was the first time i remember Babcock ever really showing any emotion on the bench and i loved it haha It was awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nev 1,085 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 xxx needs to shoot the puck to be an effective player we gotta be way better at xxx xxx is a big body Having said that, I love Babs. I just wouldn't want him as my boss or dad! As for my favourite Babcock moment - its game 2 of the 1st round against Nashville during the 08 cup run. Dom had just allowed 2 goals in 2 minutes as we blew a 2-0 lead. The Joe had its collective head in its hands as it groaned "oh no, not again". LGW was in complete meltdown. The players looked demoralised. Babcock called a timeout, and he didn't do what most fans wanted him to do, ie rip them a new backside. No, he stood there, hands in pockets calm as you like quietly talking to them. An oasis of confidence and serenity in an ocean of panic and doubt. Detroit scored quickly after and won the game, the series and the cup. This is the game - looked for a bit of video with the timeout but couldn't find one.
