Burnside ranks Babcock at #6
ESPN.com columnist Scott Burnside ranked the NHL coaches and Detroit Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock came in at #6 on the list.
6. Mike Babcock, Detroit Red Wings
The pressure was on Babcock and the Red Wings last season and he managed to get a much grittier effort out of his talented squad than many thought possible. If not for a bad bounce or two, they would have beaten the Ducks in the Western Conference finals. They should be back to the conference finals again.
So who did Burnside rank ahead of Babcock?
1 - Randy Carlyle - Anaheim Ducks
2 - Lindy Ruff - Buffalo Sabres
3 - Peter Laviolette - Carolina Hurricanes
4 - Michel Therrien - Pittsburgh Penguins
5 - Alain Vigneault - Vancouver Canucks
