Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri's book "Dreamer: My Life On The Edge" delves into coach Mike Babcock's handling of players.In this 2017 file photo, Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock speaks with official while Maple Leafs player Nazem Kadri watches on. Kadri detailed his experience being coached by Babcock in a new book "Dreamer: My Life On The Edge.
"He tried to defend what he'd done, to explain the thought process behind the exercise," Kadri recalled in the book. Babcock, who coached Canada to Olympic men's gold in 2010 and 2014 and the Detroit Red Wings to a Stanley Cup in 2008, was behind Toronto's bench from 2015 until he was fired early in the 2019-20 season.
But he disagrees with some of Babcock's tactics then. Kadri wrote that Babcock asked Toronto's trainers to rank players based on their level of effort in the gym and talked about those assessments player by player in front of the entire team.
