You can always count on the hockey press to give time to a former coach who gave them time back in the day. That train is never late. One of the more archaic things about hockey, and a way it still drags miles behind, is that the press will almost always side with a coach and GM in a dispute with a player. Because hey, chances are that coach got loaded with that writer at a Montreal strip club before he threw up poutine on one of the dancers. Apparently, those bonds are hard to break.

Hockey still views any speaking out from a player as insubordination, or the rants of a spoiled child, and back in their day, this would have been met by a crosscheck or spear that would have removed their spleen on ice. Hockey players should be seen and not heard, to hear hockey tell it.
We know Mike Babcock is a raging *******. If you don’t remember, and a lot has happened since then, Babcock was ****canned from the Leafs last season because it came out that he’s a raging *******.
