Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

[CH1]

Makes me wonder how Babcock invaded personal privacy pre-iPhone days in Detroit.

Probably had the hotel concierge staffs on his payroll

 

[Preston]

Another bit they added is that a player once caught him losing his fucking shit on a janitor when he was with Detroit. He was hated so much there that the concession stand workers were putting money on the board when the Leafs came to Detroit when he was the Leafs coach.

This might be the most universally despised human being in hockey ever. Impressive that he lasted that long. He knew who to be respectful to and how to do it. Sociopathic shit.

 

[Wayward DP]

don't think he ever coaches in the NHL again.

Toronto, coach killer, strikes again.

 

[CH1]

Not buying the dip

 

[Wayward DP]

the media tools who defended him for years and are now suddenly adding to the pile on are pretty shameless and can fuck right off though.

He literally has the word "cock" in his name.

The shit apple doesn’t fall far from the shit tree.

That's the thing about Toronto, it doesn't change you, but you can't hide who and what you are here for more than a little while.

I blame Lidstrom

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Strange that more shit didn’t come out after the Leafs fired him.

 

[worm]

I seem to recall a positive story about inviting players to his cabin.

Babs is the sort of guy who would ask to masturbate with you for a bonding exercise then tel you you have a small dick and leave the room without wanking at all.

that's oddly specific...sorry that happened to you

 

[Volcanologist]

Babcock didn't have to change because thanks to MLSE he didn't really need the CBJ gig. or any gig. that's why they call it fuck you money I guess. if I'm the Jacket owner I'm cleaning house after this season. jesus christ what a mess.

Or i did that to someone else.

Or never happened at all.

 

[JackBurton]

I wish all the Toronto media was right and he was going to Buffalo in 2015

pretty sure all our recent head coaches have ended their coaching careers here, going back to Ron Wilson.

Wilson
Carlyle
Horacek
Babcock
(Keefe)

anyone else I missed here?

none went on to coach another NHL team again...

much as we loathe him, I think Keefer may be into the OBC now though...

can you imagine the kinda shit he would pull at a remote cabin?

 

[leafman101]

Carlyle went back to Anaheim I think, but what a terrible list of coaches and humans. (Horacek doesn't count).

Keefe looks like Bowman in comparison.
