Exactly what i meant when talking about the difference a coach can make. Imagine one guy talking ****, calling you out and constantly putting you down. VS whatever the perception of Keefe is, which seems to be trust and a healthy relationship with his players. It's like working for a POS boss vs a respectful one, has a big impact on how you perform at work.
Has it actually been reported that there was any of that going on with him though? This is the first hint of anything relating to a Babcock issue with the goalie I have heard mentioned. We can speculate of course because it is certainly possible, but for all we know Babs had a great relationship with him and his struggles were the same internal ones as any goalie on a down streak. Unless you have a link of course.
It seems like a lot of people are teeing off on Babcock for all kinds of things that weren't hinted at. One poster suggested it was Babcock holding Holl back and only tenacious battling by Dubas got him to be a full timer this year. I'm fine with booting Babcock for the things we know of but I think Hutch's highs and lows have been on Hutch.
