Today Mike Babcock's NHL coaching career came to an end. Babcock stepped down as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets just one week before the start of training camps. His resignation comes after an investigation was launched into his behaviour during player meetings in which players felt uncomfortable.
Now, Babcock has released his own statement and not surprisingly he accepted no responsibility, instead he attempts to take the moral high ground. In his statement Babcock mentions trying to do what's best for the franchise, while ignoring his own actions.
Babcock refuses to acknowledge any of his actions in this statement, instead choosing to paint the situation as a distraction. Every time he's been given an opportunity to taken responsibility he's decided to go another route.
