Mike Babcock just revealed his honest opinion on how the Leaf fan base treated him after he left.
Babcock's Thoughts
Babcock went under fire when he was the Head Coach if the Leafs for reportedly asking rookie Mitch Marner to rank his teammates based off how hard working they were.
He would then actively bring up the list to Tyler Bozak who was ranked near the bottom by Marner.
«Well, first thing I would say to you is I answer these questions over and over again,» Babcock said, when asked about whether he felt the need to change. «And I'm happy to do that in saying that I got nothing to hide. I'm not trying to hide from anything I've ever done. I think it's important you own any mistake you've made, and you try to get better.»
Babcock was asked how he felt about his time with the Leafs and this is what he had to say:
Do I like how I was talked about after I left? No. Do I think I did anything wrong? Absolutely
