What is the history between Commodore and Babcock?

Coached him in the AHL, didn't like him so didn't play him, then years later he signed in Detroit and claims Babcock told him he'd get playing time then scratched him pretty much every night, only playing in 2 games the first 3 months of the season. According to Commodore he ended up playing him because the GM ordered him too, and he eventually got traded because the GM felt bad for him. Commodore blames Babcock for ending his NHL career, he only played a handful of games in the league after that.
Keep in mind that this is just one side of the story, I don't think Babcock has ever commented. He's not the only player to publicly trash Babcock though, I'm pretty sure Chelios isn't a fan either

Babcock is also incredibly overrated. Has won 1 cup. Hasn't made it out of the first round in years.
Commie tells lots of stories about what a selfish d-bag he is, how awful he is to players and how he rode the backs of the most talented Team Canada's ever and got credited as a genius

Sounds like the perfect coach for the Leafs

Gotta give credit where credit is due. Babcock has won a Stanley Cup and two Olympic gold medals. I wouldn't call that overrated even if he never won another game in his lifetime.
I get it that Team Canada in 2010 & 2014 were exceptionally talented, but a team from 87 and others wasn't too shabby with a few guys named Gretzky, Lemieux, Messier, Coffey, Hawerchuk and go down the list.
The coach still has to coach and win. Managing the pressure of 2010 with half the country watching isn't a walk in the park

He watched the game 7 BOS TOR game at Neal’s house in CGY.
Neal needs a full summer to get into shape. Kind of hinted that he used training camp to get into shape the last 2 years due to long playoff runs.
Said he owned his bad season.
Said Neal expected to play with Monahan and Gaudreau.
Did say he expects Neal to be better if he returns to CGY. That bit was interesting.

Babcock also healthy scratched Modano to keep him out of 1500th game.

Celebrated Square Root Day

Said Neal was nursing injuries that hampered off season training the last two off seasons plus lengthy playoff runs. Gives me a little hope that he can come back strong this season.
