The Mike Babcock Watch (a.k.a. #Babwatch) has consumed the hockey world on Wednesday, and that world shook with this news:
The Buffalo Sabres are out of the Mike Babcock business.
Yes, with Jack Eichel on the way, and an old friend from the Anaheim days in Tim Murray, and all of the money that owner Terry Pegula was dumping on his lawn … Mike Babcock will not be coaching the Sabres, per TSN’s Bob McKenzie and Pierre LeBrun.
That’s right around when Aaron Ward of TSN also reported that Babcock would not be returning to coach the Detroit Red Wings.
