However, amidst all the hockey excitement, a surprising development took center stage.

During the St. Louis Blues game, a fan made an astonishing observation - former head coach Mike Babcock was among the spectators. This revelation comes only weeks after he parted ways with the Columbus Blue Jackets due to a significant controversy, suggesting that Babcock's passion for hockey remains undiminished.

What's intriguing is that he was donning a Blues jersey. However, it's crucial to clarify that this appearance doesn't imply any official ties between the former coach and the Blues organization. It appears that Babcock was in St. Louis to support his son, Michael Babcock III, who now serves as a member of the Blues' training staff.

Michael Babcock III currently holds the position of skills coach in St. Louis, having previously occupied a similar role with the Ottawa Senators before making the transition to St. Louis this past summer.
