Former NHLer Makes Major Accusation Against Mike Babcock
After controversially making a comeback to the NHL this summer in Columbus, it appears Mike Babcock is still the center of much controversy, and there's some ready with some big accusations.
A developing story
Over the past few days, a story has been developing in which Spittin Chiclets host Paul Bissonette revealed that Babcock has asked players to go through their phone to look at private pictures.
The Blue Jackets and Boone Jenner have revealed that this was done fairly in an effort to get to know him, but now, reports continue to filter in that support Bissonette's story.
A major accusation
While some players have brought genuine criticism of Babcock, others have made wild accusations, including Mike Commodore, an NHL veteran of 484, 17 of which came under Babcock in Detroit.
Commodore had some not nice words for Babcock, who reportedly has tried this stunt and many others to gain power and leverage over his players, and while the story is yet to play out, this is a massive statement made by Commodore, who clearly holds little love for Babcock, like so many former players.
