Mike Babcock is a terrible, terrible person. He prevented Modano from reaching 1500 games by using him as a healthy scratch and is a known bully.
I genuinely feel bad for CBJ players and, by extension, their fans. The only reason to hire Babcock is if you care more about a record than the actual PEOPLE that work and play for you.

The Modano and Marner stories tell me all I need to know about this guy. And those are just some of the stories we know. Imagine all the shit we don’t know.
He got one championship out of a Red Wings team that had one of the all time greatest rosters. I could have coached that group and won a cup.

Wow, CBJ players getting absolutely screwed. Hopefully they’ll be at least somewhat prepared for the abuse they’ll be going through for now on.

What an absolute prick, don’t get how Jarmo is willing to give him a job considering how petty he can be.
The jackets young guys are gon be bullied by this asshole

Curious to see if he’s actually learnt anything from his time away from the game. If not, this could be a complete dumpster fire in Columbus.

What better way to bring a young team together than to pit them all against each other in order to satisfy one’s own ego? This’ll be great.

It’s amazing to me that these clubs keep recycling the same “good old boys” rather than taking a chance on guys coaching the successful colleges, AHL, ECHL or abroad. Really ridiculous.
Also Babcock is a tool.

I thought he ‘retired’ from coaching after he wasn’t welcomed back to his uni coaching job. What a jerk

Yeah but who’s the hardest worker on the roster ? 🙂

Not playing Spezza when it was first game in Toronto with the Leafs against the Senators (or something like that) when Spezza had his family at the game is all time loser move

I’m calling Babcock coming off the books in T.O as “Keefe firing day”.
Here’s hoping

I never thought anyone would pass Mike Keenan on my “not even if hell freezes over” list but here we are.

Why? You could get a totally new coach. It’s mind blowing how small the circles are in nhl. 🤦

Johnny Hockey going from Sutter to Babcock lol. Ohh poor guy can’t get away from the old guard coaches

Johnny hockey has to be hating this.

Remember when Johnny Hockey turned down more money from a team that made the playoffs for this?

This will surely solve Columbus’ longstanding problem of not being seen as a desirable place to sign

Wings fan, those poor bastards. Went into the CBJ sub and there are more than a few excited for this. Not a majority but man they’re in for a rude awakening. Not meaning to be offensive to cbj fans but when The Prick was here we only won a single cup. With a team he didn’t build stacked with HoFer’s and the greatest D man and we continuously were bounced yearly in the playoffs. Winning in CBJ with less talent and Buttfuck’s obsession with vets and punishing young players. I don’t see him even being .500 let alone playoffs there.

How many guys in the league with modified NTCs are gonna put Columbus on their “no fucking way” list at the beginning of the season?

I don’t wish this on any team. Not even Carolina.
