Well basically to counter, the "Babcock is the worst international coach of all time" thread(s)

I felt Babcock did a tremendous job of coaching tonight, defined what matchups could be successful and handidly outcoached bykov. Toews, Nash and Richards basically shut down Ovechkin for the entire game aswell as the rest of that line. how many times this year have you seen ovechkin this big of a non factor?

All the line juggling and different players given different minutes and situations was a leadup to this game to see what roles they could be counted on to play when the time called for it

I think for a coach its a huge process to go from game 1 to gold and really Babcock is a brilliant coaching mind...he knew what he was doing all along.

Discuss!
