Oilers hire Mike Babcock as head coach, DJ Smith as associate coach

[Hull2Roenick2Kane]

I dont know if it was a good or bad thing that the Blackhawks stole your thunder for worst story of the day.

 

[jetsforever]

Can't believe he's back

 

[The Panther]

Whatever man. Justify it to yourself however you please. Enjoy your scumbag coach and I hope your pillow is hot on both sides tonight.

Okay...

(Welcome to my "ignore" list, btw.)

 

[Hank Plank]

Can you blame him? Oilers came knocking on his door and it validated his narcissistic beliefs.

At this point no I don't blame Babcock he's being true to himself as horrible as that is. This is all on the Oilers organization.

 

[SI90]

He’s going to fat shame the entire team all the way to a Stanley Cup.

 

[Johnny Concussion]

Okay...

(Welcome to my "ignore" list, btw.)

Ohhhh nooooo. How will I ever recover from this slight? Jog on bud.

 

[LordBacon]

I mean... Lidstrom is a free agent right now...

If he really is so good people wouldve signed him.

 

[TopShelfYzerman]

Hitchcock
Tippett
Woodcroft
Knobaluch
Babcock

lol

I think they have a theme and this signing shows they're sticking with it.

 

[EpochLink]

Lidstrom, Z, Rafalski and Datsyuk.

i'd argue Babcock underachieved with that core. should have won more than 1.

They really did, at best they would’ve at least got 3.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Mike is still a scumbag with a short shelf life that Connor and Leon can hope to squeeze a productive season out of before it crashes and burns

 

[Bcap88]

Such a smug prick who lucked his way into coaching a loaded Detroit team.

 

[Divine]

I genuinely don't get why he refers to himself as Mike Babcock instead of just saying I. Instead of saying "I don't want a team that's not all in" he says "Mike Babacock doesn't want a team that's not all in."

Is he trying to seperate himself from his opinion hoping someone doesn't know he's Mike Babcock?

It's common for narcissists to use third person when speaking about themselves.
