Howie Hangs w/Mule's kid - Detroit Red Wings - Feb. 2014
↳ Former NHLer Johan Franzen, who played for Babcock in Detroit, spoke out about Babcock’s history of horrible treatment toward players. If you’re wondering what the Nashville thing Franzen refers to is, Babcock “verbally assaulted Johan Franzen on the bench, causing Franzen a nervous break down.”

“He is the worst person I ever met”
This is what Johan Franzén - former Detroit Red Wing - told the Swedish paper Expressen this week. You thought we had heard the worst about Babs? Oh honey, strap yourself in for a ride!
As a coach he is extremely meticulous and well prepared. He is very good at putting a team together and getting everyone to buy into it. That’s his strong side. But then, he’s a terrible person, the worst I have ever met. He’s a bully who was attacking people. It could be a cleaner at the arena in Detroit or anybody. He would lay into people without any reason.
Apparently Babs bullied Franzén so much that Franzén suffered a nervous breakdown during the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs. Something that Chris Chelios also mentioned on the Spittin Chiclets podcast.
Franzén says:
From 2011 on, I was terrified of being at the rink. That’s when he got on me the first time. I just focused on getting out of bed every morning from that moment. Last year I could sleep naturally for the first time since then. It was just his attacks, playing in my head. Each and every day. But I got help managing those obsessions during three week at a center in Colorado last year. It was me and a group of veterans who also suffered from concussions and PTSD.
When I call this a dumpster fire, I am not even kidding.
Y'all, this is the cutest fkn thing!!! 😍😭❤️😭😭😭
hope y’all enjoy this! I certainly did :p my friend Emily here has no knowledge of hockey but is quite funny imo. sorry for anything that is insensitive. I tried my best to tag accordingly but if y’all have anything for me to add, don’t hesitate to say so.
I want you to love me in the way that I can show on Instagram
Johan Franzen (to every Red Wing)
