Honest question... What % of NHL hockey coaches are @#$! like this?
Is it half? more? less??
At this point, I would imagine at least half, if not more, are doing idiotic things like this, where Babcock isn't any kind of enigma, but more the norm of the traditional, old school, hard ass hockey coach. I also would imagine that they will go the way of the dinosoar. No way such tactics will be survive in a younger league, where the superstars, and highest paid athletes, are your youth, not your grizzled vet.
I'm even shocked to see Marner comment on the matter (all over my twitter feed at the moment). I feel like such incidents wouldn't be talked about to the media/public, and it would all be kept behind closed doors. Not anymore!
