![]() ![]() That’s been his main problem: Marincin has struggled to feel good about himself on the ice.īabcock, who in the past found it difficult to muster more than a mumbled hello from Marincin, said the Slovakian defender would achieve confidence if he found success on the ice. “You’ve got to decide to feel good about yourself.” And so what happens in the league if you don’t eventually grab hold of it, you’re not in the league anymore.” “(He) can really skate, can pass the puck, does a lot of things, but he’s never really grabbed hold of it yet. Mike Babcock described Marincin as an “elite defender.” Three rookies are gunning for his job this fall and the Leafs head coach sounds nearly ready to move on from the former second-round pick if he isn’t able to build confidence this season, and finally put it all together on the ice. And time to solve it may be running short in Toronto. Marincin is just as mysterious on the ice as he is off it - a riddle yet to be solved by the Leafs.
