Ex-Maple Leaf calls out the team for their treatment of Mike Babcock

Ex-Maple Leafs Defenceman, Igor Ozhiganov was recently asked about his time spent in the NHL and what the differences are, compared to playing in Russia. 

Igor Ozhiganov 2 @Dima_Erykalov: It's so different overseas.When you get to a lockerroom it seems all the players are ass-lickers that just wait for a coach to come to lick his ass.They always run to him, laugh of his jokes,make up to him. In Russia nobody'd talk to such a player

Without getting lost in translation it does sound like Ozhiganov was not a fan of the Kool-Aid and any of the Mike Babcock's Dad jokes.

First Nikita Zaitsev, then Garret Sparks, and now Ozhiganov. The Maple Leafs have made some trades recently and all the players they have been shipping out of town have had something to say about the players or coaches. A curious trend for the Leafs as their core gets complimented a lot on their professionalism and commitment to the game.

According to Igor Ozhiganov, that commitment may have been taken a step far.
