This week Prashanth Iyer joins us to break down the man, the myth, the legend: Mike Babcock. After 2.5 years of coaching the Leafs and 10 years in Detroit, Prashanth and I discuss some of the trends we’ve noticed in Babcock’s decision making over the years. Here’s a list of the topics we touch on:

1:27 – Grinders getting lots of ice time (Komarov, Abdelkader)

16:20 – Skilled players struggling to get minutes (Nylander, Hudler)

27:35 – Age bias (Kapanen/Leivo, Nyquist/Tatar)

43:46 – But, Babcock’s still probably the best coach in the league.

As always, you can find the podcast on iTunes, SoundCloud, and most other podcast apps.
