Regardless of what happens this season, I’m glad Babcock is gone.
- Steven_Seagull


I had been pretty supportive of him, but more and more things were starting to be noticable. So I was already happy with the change.

This article just makes it more obvious it's best that he's gone, but I gotta admit I'm surprised it was this bad. He definitely had me fooled lol.

Yeah, knowing all this, I'm very happy he's gone now too.

I too thought Babcock was a good coach. Well I was wrong.
Didn't know he got that much from his team by abusing them.
Makes me wonder if that's why Marner played hardball with his contract.

The Modano and Marner thing is bad, but it sounds like what he did to Franzen was just (frank)ed up. Oh and now allegations against Crawford from when he was with a previous team.

According to Steve Simmons (I know) Marners dad skipped the last father’s trip because he was afraid of what he might do if he came face to face with Babs.

Mike Babcock is clearly a wiener, but Chelios and Franzen can both (frank) off. Chelios thought Babcock was mean years ago. He's just so upset about it. Franzen got yelled at and had his feelings hurt. Go cry you babies. So what. A million hockey players would gladly get yelled at - with or without concussion symptoms - to play for the wealth therse guys played for. Now they are just whining and piling on and its lost it's impact. Boring as (frank) listening to these babies. Babcock is an bumhole. Okay. Good to know. Anything else?

Chelios should hang his head in shame for being one of the dirtiest players of all time who always hid behind linemen while saying awful things to other players. Won't hear him talk about that though.

I see you boys are getting Marner back sooner than later. Should help right that ship with the changes and all.

Thankfully he’ll miss that Philly game

I don't agree with this at all. But in saying that, if a coach yelled at me disrespectfully I would of fed him his own teeth to be honest. If you take poop you'll end up being spoon fed it constantly.
But the real story in all this is, how the (frank) did a lot of this stay secret for so long. With social media the last 10 years nothing is a secret. You could fart in the woods when no ones around and it would still pop up on some ones Facebook page the next day. Doesn't make sense unless there were some people with a lot more power that made sure everyone kept there (frank)ing mouths shut..

People who are abused by people in power, by people who can destroy their career (by sending them to the minors, hello akim aliu,or by benching them and not playing them) don't feel like they can say anything becuase they are just one person saying it against a powerful person.

Clearly, many of the coaches still around are what we loosely call old school. Babcock was such a coach, a total a$$hole. Moving forward, coaches, teams and fans need to realize is that what used to be acceptable, no longer is. Racist jokes and comments, demeaning actions and just acting like a buffoon are not OK.

Franzen: ”He was a specialist on handling the media. He creates teams that are hard to bet, you can’t take that from him. But he makes his players very anxious, they are scared to make mistakes and his teams seldom make it past the first round”

Everyone deserves to go to work and not be treated like that. This is brutal, and it just keeps coming.
