Babs walking out to the stands to congratulate and meet Liljegren's family is pure class. This is a big part of the reason his players play for him, he truly cares about his people and reaches into their heart and soul to pull out the person that they never knew was inside of them. Best all time hockey coach that I can think of.

I don't like them much, but the Leafs will win the cup very soon.

I love that you said this not long after preaching analytics 100% don't matter etc

Babcock is a huge analytics guy.

"What is your philosophy on analytics?
I love it. What I love about it is I love information. What I’ve tried to do is surround myself with as many young, smarter people than me, more learned in that area than me, and they give you information. Sometimes, the information they give you, you don’t think it’s very good, but lots of times it’s great ideas. I hired a kid last year; I phoned out to the University of Michigan, I said I need a math guy, a real smart guy, just graduated, real good social skills, loves hockey. Can you find me that guy? Couple days later, it just so happened my kids knew who he was. We put him in our office next to our video coach, I said, “I don’t know what your job is, figure it out.” My point is pretty soon that guy was making a huge impact. He had found things that we could use, reoccurring situations in the game, that led to success. Staying on offense, or getting out of the defensive situation fast, it was a great little thing he gave me. The next thing you know he’s evaluating my pregame talks. I come in after and say, “what did I say?” He’d tell me. There’s a 24 year old kid making you better. There’s so many great ways to use information that’s great, you just have to make sure it makes sense;"

Are you actually taking a jab at a guy trying to get an Education without the help of wealthy parents?

Who paid for your education?

Me.

I only take jabs at people that blame others for their plight. Life is a big huge field of gold and we all get the same sized shovel. DIG!

I do realize that some people have unavoidable circumstances and they deserve help or deserve a break...but I don't care to know this guy's story. I am also convinced that people like that are happier complaining.

He wasnt complaining at all....he was just detailing what he had to do to not only get by, but graduate debt free.

And how in the (frank) did you play competitive hockey and still have time to earn enough for an Education when your NHL dreams hit the poopter?

Read your own quote. He just stated that he doesn't use it but has an open mind. If there is anyone in the NHL that goes by feel and doesn't look at that sh1t...it's him"

P.s. don't get a grant to go to law school
