One Message In Detroit

from the Detroit Free Press,
When Scotty Bowman coached the Wings, assistants Barry Smith and Dave Lewis frequently spoke to the media. But Babcock prefers to handle reporters’ questions and leave his assistants free to concentrate on other things.
“That’s the way I’ve always done it,” Babcock said. “We’ve got one message when we come in this room. We got one message when we’re talking to the media.”
Perhaps that extra concentration time has helped his assistants’ contributions to the Wings’ 45-18-6 record and league-leading 96 points.
MacLean oversees the penalty kill and is responsible for changing defensemen during games.
McLellan oversees the power play. During games, he’s either in Babcock’s ear suggesting matchups or talking to forwards.
