Go back and watch the HBO series a few years back that focused on the Wings. There's a few clips of Babcock going insane in the locker room during intermissions. I'm sure it happens a lot with professional sports but the few scenes with Babcock were like legit terrifying. Dude came off as completely unhinged.
I grew up with the Red Wings of old. This man isn't actually even a good coach. He had a STACKED team for 5 years and couldn't win more than 1 cup? Fuck him and his psychological abuse. He doesn't even seem to have shown any remorse for his shit.
Well everyone deserves a second chance. That said I never liked the guy & still don't. At the very least it his last chance & on a short leash. We shall see. Hey Mike don't be a d*ck.

It’s definitely a risk especially with the young core in Columbus but if it works out, it will really work out
Jordan Tootoo also mentioned he hated how Detroit and Babcock ran things, which also makes me dislike him more
This guy got booooooted out of Toronto 😂😂
They want to be coddled and talked to like teens

At least they're going to the playoffs.

As an all time bastard of a coach, I don't think anyone can beat Mike Keenan.
as a wings fan, highly dislike the man

A bunch of whining betas and loser media bloated this story
If he really had toned down a bit he really could make a great impact.

Babcock has not changed, the ONLY reason for his Stanley Cups to his name is Legends that played on Detroit under Scott Bowman before he showed up
Tortorella wants a word.
Who would have ever thought nhl players being fckn babies
He and Torts, throw them out.
Weak coachs make weak players. Babs was fine people are cry babys
Modano still wants a word..
Sorry to the blue jackets fans but it really couldn't get much worse than they did this season
im a distant relative of mike babcock never met him tho
It will be interesting to see how he approaches coaching. He probably won't completely abandon his abrasive style but it will be tempered.
Hate Keenan so much
He’s earn his reputation. Shocked anyone would actually hire him. Poor decision!!
