Nazem Kadri exposes Mike Babcock
Mike Babcock is arguably one of the most controversial head coaches in NHL history, and his former player Nazem Kadri reveals some of his toxic antics in his recent book.
Former Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri recently published a book titled «Dreamer: My Life on The Edge». The book is rapidly growing in popularity amongst NHL enthusiasts with intense recounts of locker room drama and gut wrenching stories.
According to Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, The story as a whole had been public knowledge for years. Mike Babcock asked a rookie Mitch Marner to rank Leafs players based on their work ethic, and then shared the list with everyone to embarrass Marner. A fan on social media shared the following from Kadri's book:
When we found out, Tyler Bozak and I stormed into Babcock's office and laid into him . . . After that he apologized to Mitch. We'd pretty much made him.»
- Nazem Kadri, Dreamer
Kadri's recounts of Babcock are disturbing to say the least. Although it was a terrible position to put a young rookie in, it's not the first nightmare story that has surfaced regarding the former NHL coach.
At this point, I don't think Babcock should ever be able to coach an NHL team again. Although he's found success at the highest level, he's shown that his coaching style is sadistic and evil.
