How many packages of gum does Babcock go through in a game?

[RedWingsRox 614]

Saw it before, noticed it at the Olympics, and he is at it again tonight.

What the hell is he chewing? I want some of dat.

[CanadaBoy 151]

He has his own gum cup

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Probably almost as many as little bottles of water

ha i always wondered this too

[ComradeWasabi 109]

Gum and Dasani are the entirety of Babcock's diet.

I've heard of research that says that when you chew gum you think quicker or something like that. Who knows though.

I wonder if he has to crap during a game with all that sorbitol and stuff.

He seriously should do a commercial for Big Red or whatever brand he uses.

[Lovin Jiri Fischer 147]

I heard that he chews one piece per period. I think I read that on here like a couple years ago.

[j.hoop 64]

hes probably chewing that big league chew, grape i bet.

Instead of gum, he should just pack a nice four finger of Copenhagen downstairs bottom-left since he is that badass.

i'm sure bert would be willing to share with him haha

The worst part is he always spits it out with his right hand. Think about his assistant coaches having to shake his hand after each win.

I wonder if there's some superstitious rituals going on.

[superstarsingh 23]

Haha I am glad you guys also picked up on this. I am certain that one game last year he was chewing Juicy Fruit (package was yellow). That would explain why he chews so many pieces, that stuff seems to disintegrate in your mouth.

Would the next reporter who interviews Babcock please ask him?
