The Secret 304 Report post Posted October 12, 2010 If Bowman was coach #1 then Babcock would have to be #1A. This is great news to have the greatest coach in the league for at least 4 more years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted October 12, 2010 “I got the line last year from somebody, ‘Oh, you’re trying to change my game,’ ” Babcock said. “I think they thought that in a negative way. I said, ‘Yeah, you’re right, we are. We’re trying to make you better. That’s actually what they pay us for.’ ” Haha. That was Ericsson who said that. I remember reading an article about that.

Nev 1,085 Report post Posted October 12, 2010 The other reason I'm delighted about this is that for a year or two I've worried that Mike would leave here - because his contract ran out, his style got old, whatever - and he would end up going to a talented but underachieving team (think Washington Capitals) and put them over the top. Teach them how to win like he taught us to win. That fear is now gone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
