The classic finger point - it was everyone else not doing their job but look all these great things I did.
When I heard Brian Burke lament that it's a sad day for Babcock and his family and that he's a great human being, I lost a lot of respect for the guy. You hear a lot of these stories, obviously not contrived, and you realize Burke was standing up for a real POS.

The funny thing of course is that he’s been a piece of #### since his days in red deer and because of how hockey is no one cares because he “wins”
The Toronto media guys are the funniest. You have Jeff O’Neil going hard at Babcock now when he was the biggest water carrier forever. It’s sad.
