Former NHLer RIPS Leafs’ Babcock on social media

Former NHL defenseman Mike Commodore has never been one to bite his tongue. The retired Stanley Cup champion is one of the most outspoken athletes on Twitter, especially when it comes to matters concerning his former head coach Mike Babcock. 

Commodore briefly played for Babcock with the Detroit Red Wings and, as evidenced by his online comments, wasn’t a fan. When former Wings star Pavel Datsyuk took to Twitter to congratulate his former head coach on achieving his 600th career win, Commodore couldn’t help but weigh in.

Wow… tell us how you really feel, Commie! Is this just sour grapes? While Babcock may have a reputation for being a "hard ass" coach, we don't see any other former players ripping into him on social media. So, what gives?
