And also that the author would be so stupid and smug to describe a SC winner as one-off.

Have you not been following hockey the last decade? Everyone has been kissing Babcock's you-know-what for years. You've seriously missed that?
I don't agree calling Hartley a "One-Off", but in fairness it was years since his last success when he won last season. His cup win was 14 years ago with little to nothing to show. The other 2 examples were great ones and typical of Jack Adams winners over the years.
The idea the media is suddenly discovering and praising Babcock now that he's with the Leafs is silly. He's been at least consensus top 3 if not consensus top coach for years.
