My heart stopped for a second on one of those names.



ST. LOUIS - St. Louis Blues President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Doug Armstrong announced today the team has named Mike Weber as assistant coach and Michael Babcock as skills coach.

Weber and Babcock round out the Blues coaching staff after a search led by Blues Head Coach Craig Berube.

Interesting. Totally new blood in the team.

Yeah I wondered wtf mike babcock is doing taking a skills coach job. Quite a demotion lol.

Regarding Babcock, it's his kid, so I mean, hockey will be a boys club. But I like this one. Youth is encouraging.

Especially Babcock. 28 year old nepo baby. We’ll see what fresh ideas he has for the forwards and how quickly he can earn the respect of them.

There's no question his dad is a good coach. Hopefully he's a better person than pop.

Mike Babcock naming his son Mike Babcock is the most Mike Babcock thing

It took me all day to realize Mike Weber wasn't Mike Weaver.

Holy Shit, thanks for clarifying! I thought that was the defenseman on the 2009 team but I was too lazy to check. His name was Weaver Damn, good thing you said that. So I wasn’t the only one
