During the '08 finals I had a dream Babcock was my dad.

It wasn't a very pleasant dream.... :

 

Ultimate case in point: Wayne Gretzky.

And the bookend to that argument:  The playing career of Scotty Bowman.  And Mike Babcock...

Haha, that's hilarious!   The adoption thing may be a tad dis-tasteful, but Why can't you be more like that Zetterberg? is pure brilliance.

The fact that it got under his skin is even funnier.  It never ceases to amaze me how some people react to trash-talk about their mothers.  Say the most outrageous, most patently untrue things about their mother and they just lose it

A few years ago Babs described Ericsson as "like Pronger, but without the cross-checks".  It pleases me to see that Ericsson has now added the cross-check to his game.

Yeah but think about it. If the wings were struggling like the Avs and they brought in Yzerman and Lids to coach how would you feel? =)

That being a great player in no way shape or form translates into being a great coach.
