I hate the replay monitors installed in the bench. They are not very big and are covered by thick plastic so the quality is not the greatest. Guys up above have better access to better equipment. But they are here to stay but i do feel the head coach should not be starring at and should focus on the players.

I watched an early Toronto-Boston game during the playoffs and as soon as the Leafs got scored on Babcock leaned over to an assistant and they had a brief conversation. The assistant talked to the defensemen coming off and Babcock addressed the players going on to the ice. A third coach gave Babcock a thumbs up after looking at the monitor assuming he meant good goal. It was a pretty obvious good goal on the ice. I was like yes, this is exactly how it should work.

Now Babcock doesn't always do this and does look at his monitors but more so than not you can see him interacting with the players. Headcoaches are there to get the players ready to play game by game and shift by shift not check past plays. Just my two cents.
