I thought it was Thomas James too. It's weird that Elite Prospects doesn't have his full name, they have it for most guys
This is seriously consuming my morning. From what I can tell, it's only Wikipedia and some Flames blog called flameforthought.com with Jhomas as the middle name.

I remember the headlines when he was hired. It was like they got the Rolling Stones to come play their birthday or something.

Babcock is a dinosaur and is incredibly full of himself. No tears shed for him. Just another piece of meat the Toronto media chewed up and spit out.

You see, I do think Babcock is a decent coach. Above average, but below "good". He gets a much better reputation solely because of his Detroit days, but look at the team in front of him in Detroit. It'd be kind of hard not to do decent with Lidstrom, Zetterberg, and Datsyuk in their prime in front of you.

I think Babcock did a really good job of developing Reilly, and of getting in some structure and good habits within the organization. But he's better on a deep team, not a top heavy one. I do think he had to go, but that if he hadn't been in Toronto they'd be worse off than they are now
