Following the Boston Bruins’ Game 7 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs, Mike Babcock had the following to say about the opposing team’s roster, according to an NHL.com article:
“It’s called depth, right?” Babcock said. “That’s how you beat the other teams. You need good goaltending, real good ‘D’ and you’ve got to be good down the middle. They have that.” (Quote from NHL.com)
It’s not the first time the coach has commented on depth – claiming that other teams in the NHL had done better at handling the adversity and injuries that comes along with a grueling 82 game season.
