He may find he is coaching the wrong team. Sounds quite similar to what Babcock demanded and the same core exist almost a decade later.
It would be hilarious if it wasn't so embarrassing.
That’s different bc when Babs coached, the guys were young and coming up. And Babs did played the possession style like Keefe.
Babs wanted to move the puck as quick as possible out of the Dzone, hence, we kept complaining about the stretch pass, lol.
Also, the belief was that the kids-AM, MM, Willie, Kadri, Hyman, Brown, Kap and AJ are all going to shape into players with high compete and high skill.
Then Marleau happened and derailed everything.
JT was the icing on the cake as everyone thought the kids can learn lessons from him but it ends up JT was the one learning lessons.
