O Dog: Babcock sewered Marner with teammates

The OverDrive guys discuss the Mike Babcock controversy with Mitch Marner and how the coach sewered the rookie with his teammates. The guys call the antics garbage and explain how Babcock crossed the line with his actions.

Maybe that’s why Nylander, Matthews and Marner asked for so much to stay.

I heard Steve Yzerman didn't like him, that's enough for me.

Being a Wings fan I specifically remember hearing through a good source that Lindstrom would only stick around if Babs left and he didn’t so Linds retired. This doesn’t surprise me.

[babybishop]

No wonder all those guys weren’t taking any lower contracts

[alejbr]

really hate when someone starts with no one is perfect, blah blah, thats b.s. a lot of people go their entire lives and not treat people like

[mikec]

Jamie, if you were playing for him? Are you going to call him out? I don't think so, stop trying to defend him.

[chelihawk]

I am amazed when people say " why are people saying things now?" If you know how power works you would know how stupid this statement is. Reprisal happens all the time. People are afraid of the consequences to their career and livelihood. Sorry Jamie, your comments are naive.

Does he really deserve to be in the Hall? He rode a fantastic performance by Giggy to the cup final with Anaheim, then won 1 cup with the insanely stacked Red Wings, before never winning a playoff round in Toronto.

Don’t even mention the gold medals, any coach in the NHL or even AHL could take that roster and win gold

[craigharrison]

With all of Babcock's success it's easy to overlook the fact that he inherited a dynasty in Detroit and got to coach a stacked team Canada. That's like being given a ferrari and having to race against Ford Pinto's. I saw all I needed to see when he scratched Spezza on opening night against his old team...DBag move.

I see why these guys hold out on re signing in Toronto. Hopefully it's not an issue anymore.

[sirduck]

Something about this video makes me feel like he’s a “bad guy” I just can’t put my finger on it tho

[bionicbagel]

i mean comie been saying it for years on chiclets lol

[natepotter]

Take a shot everytime you hear “bad guy”

[alexhutcheson]

Babcock making Marner do this is bad, obviously. However, I'd be way more concerned if the entire organization knew about this (which they probably did) and didn't do anything about it

[henryb]

He was the same guy when you hired him for record breaking amounts Toronto. The more right you are for firing him the more wrong you are for hiring him.

[ashiva]

I wonder if he was one of the reasons Leafs had to pay so much to get their guys signed.

[ChrisMolyneaux]

Certainly doesn't help that he got completely outcoached by Bruce frickin' Cassidy two years in a row.

[darrylhall]

O dog was repeating “bad guy” over and over that I almost expected Razor Ramon to appear on set with “Say hello to the bad guy” lol

[michalpiszko]

Met him at a bar downtown calgary when he was with detroit. Tries to introduce myself and tell him im a big fan of his work and he told me to fuck off and leave him alone.

Josh Levi lighting it up when they gave him to Vancouver. Good hometown boy.
