Johnny will be better under Babcock than Lindholm.
He was under (however it happened) the same concerns that Backlund had post season..whether Sutter blasted the Swedes this year or what. Babcock is cut from the same cloth, or at least he was.
Players can tolerate Sutter's methods if it gets results, plus he's won two cups so it has shown his methods work.
Babcock does have one cup with a stacked Detroit team, in that regard similar to Hartley.
