Babcock Drama Heats Up Around The Globe - Swede Says He Was “Disturbed In The Head”

When I first heard Biz’s story about Mike Babcock, the new Head Coach of the Blue Jackets I knew it was going to cause some controversy but I had no idea it would go viral and be felt around the hockey world.

Remember hockey before HD TVs?

This is not the first time Babs has been a bag of shit to his players, he did the same picture act in Toronto. He also put players in very awkward positions by asking them to rank the other players in private and then putting those rankings out to the team.

Chiclets guest Mike Commodore who has always spoken his mind about the coach shared his opinion about the situation.
