I enjoyed life to the max while I was young and able. You'd have to live 4 lifetimes to do all the fishing, hunting, partying with beautiful woman, spending time in the most pristine areas of BC for months on end etc. Why wait until you are old to indulge in the things you enjoy.... what ever that may be. I've lived a very free life the last 30 years after a very rough start. I laugh how you think everyone is jealous of you. Just another dumb fuk Ugly American.

Who's taking things seriously Cucky? It only takes a post or two of bouncing back your jibes before you are butthurt.

As far as your obsession of wanting people to be envious of you... that cannot be successfully denied. A day doesn't go by where you are not boasting about money, possessions, pretending that Scottsdale is more beautiful than Canada blah blah blah. No one wants your life Lefty. You are working in Ohio spending your weekend in a hotel room bragging about yourself to a handful of hockey fans on a sh!tty little forum.... when you go home you are in Scottsdale. Oh what I would trade for that... I'm so jealous.

He says he's a change man...here's part of it...


"COLUMBUS, Ohio — If anyone expected to hear Mike Babcock apologize for his indiscretions during previous coaching stops in Toronto and Detroit, his introductory press conference as coach of the Blue Jackets on Saturday was likely disappointing.

But Babcock, 60, spoke directly and emphatically about the process he’s gone through to become a better coach and communicator during his three and a half years away from the NHL, noting that those new skills will be required to have success with one of the league’s youngest rosters.

Babcock signed a two-year contract that will pay him $4 million per season, making him the highest-paid coach in the franchise’s history. He hasn’t coached in the NHL since he was fired by Toronto one month into the 2019-20 season.

“Change in all of us takes time,” Babcock said. “The first thing you have to do is embrace it and want to get better. I’ve been a life-long learner, pursuing knowledge my whole life.

“What this (break from the NHL) has done is given me a chance to get outside my body, have a look and see what I’m doing, and understand that you need to change, you needed to grow.”

The controversy around Babcock stems from former players such as Johan Franzen and Mitch Marner accusing him of verbal and emotional abuse. In his time away from the NHL, Babcock has occasionally sought to explain why he thought certain incidents were overblown or taken out of context. But his history will follow him to Columbus, and he’s going to have to prove he can treat players differently than he did in previous stops.

To that end, Babcock said he plans to meet with every player on the Blue Jackets’ roster in the coming days to develop a personalized plan according to how they want to communicate with him as coach, how they’re best motivated, etc.

Babcock believes the problems he had previously were the result of him not understanding how his intense, passionate style was being received and perceived by players. One person’s productive meeting might be another person’s idea of a scolding.

He made it clear that he didn’t reach this conclusion on his own, either."
