My Take
Babcock fascinates me as a study in coaching genius born from small-town roots in Manitouwadge. Eighteen NHL seasons as a head coach, a Stanley Cup, and a run to the 2003 Final with Anaheim mark him as a serious tactician, and his McGill education hints at the analytical mind behind it. What draws me most is the archetype he embodies: a player who never reached the summit himself, yet learned to lift others there. That gap often sharpens the eye. He is a polarizing figure too, which to me only underlines how much conviction he brought to the bench.
