Comrie Speaks Out Against Babcock
Mike Comrie, who used to play in the NHL, recently said some pretty strong words about Mike Babcock, calling him a "bully" and a "scumbag".
"Morning folks. I was gonna leave this alone cause frankly I'm sick and tired of seeing Mike Babcock's name in all my feeds but here we are. Mike Babcock, head coach, back in the NHL."
"Babs the bully gets another chance. Am I disappointed? Yes, I am disappointed. Am I surprised? No, I'm not. His whole retirement thing was a load of horseshit right off the bat."
"I'm sure he walked into the Columbus office and told the brass whatever they wanted to hear. 'Oh I've changed' blah blah blah, which is another load of horseshit. Babs the bully ain't changing. Scumbags like that don't change."
"With all due respect to my buddies within the Blue Jackets organization, I hope this Babcock experiment is a complete disaster on every single level."
