Spectacular! Any Newcoach Carbery sightings yet? Mitch Love?
Babcock is officially the new CBJ Head Coach
I encountered all manner of foul-mouthed, abusive, head-games coaches (and Bosses!) from my misspent youth 60s 70s 80s, including Public School, Corporate workplace and the Military … so here comes NHL bully extraordinaire, Mike Babcock!
Babcock is legendary in abusive methods. But most Americans aren’t making Twenty Thousand Dollars a night – millions per year. From disciplinarian to outright tyrant — it’s the American way if you’re a professional athlete or seven-figure executive. Being “nice” to rich knuckleheads, both player and coach, has a spotted track record. I’m all in favor of the head-knocker leadership style — if it brings success and NHL Championships. Newcoach Carbery and the MichLove unit will bring a less loud approach — but watch how merciless they are with slackers and non-producers
