C'mon. Say whatever you want about me and my posts.
But at least consider the Jack Adams objectively—It's basically a weird perception-based pat on the back that answers the question: Who best polished the turd this year? Who wins it is not necessarily tied to any quantifiable result based-number or fact.
How many times has Mike Babcock won it? He's a pretty good coach, no?
Look who has. John Torterella, Paul MacLean, Patrick Roy... All pretty average coaches, no? One's that any reasonable hockey fan would have some serious reservations about having behind the bench, right?
Granted, many great coaches have won it. But does it really deserve to act as any sort of indicator of coach performance? Look at wins/losses, win percentage, games coach, etc. etc. Stanley cup wins? Sure. Most definitely. But the Jack Adams just isn't as compelling as proof.
