Mike Commodore goes off on Babcock (Mod warning in OP)

[Rants Mulliniks]

I thought Mike Modano actually said that was true but didnt want to say it publicly

Which part about Chelios

And who agrees with Babs on what? He was disliked everywhere he went

All the details Commodore presents around Modano are wrong and leave out all the context (Modano being scratched for playoffs, being not very good, half season missed to injury, actual game he was benched was when they were trying to clinch division before 2 versus Chicago, etc.).

Chelios is another where if you look at his actual output was finished and never picked up by anyone. There's more but too lazy to type.

Yes there are people who dislike Babcock. Understandable and common in management. Who agrees with Babcock is every other team, league and organization that either wouldn't employ or fired Commodore, Modano, Chelios and soon likely Spezza.

Commodore is pathetic. Imagine holding a grudge that started almost twenty years ago. I know he's doing it for attention, but I don't think he realises people aren't laughing with him, but at him.

Commie would be more likeable if he agreed to wear number 64 like some hockey fans asked him to do.

 

[Beaumaris]

Commodore needs to calm the **** down and start acting like a man, instead of the pathetic 12 year old he is being at the moment.

I was off the Babcock train last year, but I'm not going to **** all over a guy when just lost his job. Seriously, who does that?

Mike Commodore,I guess.

No Class Commodore - Buddy has issues

If you are really curious he is guest co-hosting the morning show in Calgary on the fan 960 this week. They talked about the whole ordeal for most of the first hour today. Lots of nuggets, including from inside the Toronto dressing room.

 

[Iapyi]

Perhaps someone who lost his job because of that guy?

The history of sports would indicate that even if a player does something egregious some team will still take them is they are good enough to play. [of course there are examples to the contrary]

I live in Calgary and have been listening to Commy for months on Boomer's morning radio show. He's a smart dude and likable. That said he's still part-time, and on a PTO for that gig...lol

It's pretty tough filling the chair left by Warriner.

Congratulations to Mike Commodore for being so far ahead of the curve on his way to becoming a bitter, grumpy old man.....

He's got issues and it's obvious he's desperate to be relevant in some way.

Either way, it's a bad look for Commodore. Babcock is still a world renowned coach, with a long future in hockey still ahead of him, and chances for glory? Mike Commodore? Not so much. I say it's 50/50 Commodore has already moved back into his mom's basement......

 

[sxvnert]

Commodore needs help. Seriously.

 

[DarkKnight]

Let this thread die, he doesn’t deserve ANY attention.

Mark Fraser chiming in on Twitter in support of Commodore - I dont care if they dont like Babs or any of their Coaches - just shut up and show some class - Ridiculous

Its kind of like a car crash, cant help but look.

In one level i appreciate the honesty, but on the other i tend to prefer guys just keep quite about this sort of stuff nothing good tends to come of it

There's a balance between saying your piece and being giddy over someone else's misery/misfortune. Commodore is missing that balance by an awful lot.

Call him a POS and move on with your life, but what he's done for the past few years has been embarassing.

Any good players actually have something to say?
Shanahan played a season under Babcock and couldn't wait to hire him. These guys have zero class.

He said he hopes Babcock gets hit by a truck. In all seriousness. He was not joking. I don't care how bad you think a coachs style is.. whether it's true or not. To me, that's just sad.

Instead of accepting the fact that Babcock and the ENTIRE league thought (correctly) his career was over because he was sh*te, he started a way over the top crusade against Mike that's been going on for 20 years. Some of it true, some of it speculation and some of it pure lies.... and wishing literal death upon him.

He's an immature disgusting attention seeker.

There's a reason nobody gives a shit about him and barely remembers outside of Calgary. Except when he becomes a wind up merchant by saying such things as this.

He is a very sad human being.

Mental illness is a very serious subject and so is concussions and so is drug and alcohol addictions

That is why I didn't make fun of him. That is why I didn't call him a c*nt.

I said he is a very sad human being. Something is wrong with him. It's not normal to hold such a grudge and wish death upon somebody numerous times who barely coached you. Or maybe that's how social media works. I have no idea.

Whether he is being effected by concussions or mental illness or substance abuse, I don't know.... So unlike Mike Commodore, I'll keep my mouth shut. I say that as a somebody struggling with all 3 for the last 13 years.

Peace friend
I understand fully
Good luck
And if you ever need to talk .....

 

[Its not your fault]

This got me thinking.

 

[saffronleaf]

Now I understand Commodore

All the details Commodore presents around Modano are wrong and leave out all the context (Modano being scratched for playoffs, being not very good, half season missed to injury, actual game he was benched was when they were trying to clinch division before 2 versus Chicago, etc.).

Chelios is another where if you look at his actual output was finished and never picked up by anyone. There's more but too lazy to type.

Yes there are people who dislike Babcock. Understandable and common in management. Who agrees with Babcock is every other team, league and organization that either wouldn't employ or fired Commodore, Modano, Chelios and soon likely Spezza.

what are your thoughts on Mark Fraser’s tweets?
