Mike Babcock on team’s depth: “Soshnikov and Kapanen can play in the NHL without any question, and yet they’re not here”

What do you like about how Patrick Marleau has integrated into a new city, a new team, a new system?

Babcock: I’m sure Patty would tell you it’s a work in progress. Anytime you got four kids and a wife and you live in the same place 20 years, it’s going to take you some time. There is going to be some moments at home that probably aren’t great, and yet the rink can be a safe haven for you. Just come here and play. Obviously, I thought Pat was real good the other night.
