Luongo on Babcock making him so nervous he nearly pooped himself.

We all know what kind of effect long time National Hockey League head coach Mike Babcock can have on players from all of the stories that have come out about his coaching style over the years, but this latest story from beloved from NHL goaltender Roberto Luongo might be one of a kind.

Luongo was a recent guest on the Spittin Chiclets podcast and during his appearance there he shared a story about how Babcock once made him so nervous that he couldn't hold in the contents of his stomach, having to immediately run to the bathroom to relieve himself.

For this one we have to travel back in time all the way to 2010 when legendary NHL goaltender Martin Brodeur, considered by many to be among the best of all time at his position, was backstopping Team Canada at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. Luongo was serving as his backup and, given Brodeur's legendary status, had never even dreamed of possibly taking over as Canada's starting goaltender when he suddenly received an unexpected message on his phone.

"We played I think it was USA, first round, and we lost," revealed Luongo. "It was the third game we lost to the USA and then we are on the bus going to the Team Canada house... we get to the house and I get a text from Babs and he's like 'Come see me in the front of the bus.'"

Luongo was probably nervous already after receiving a message of that nature from Babcock, but the nerves really kicked in after he had a brief exchange with Babcock in front of the bus.

"So I walk up there and he's like 'It's your tournament for the rest of it so get ready you're going' and I was like holy sh** I got so nervous."

When Luongo says "holy sh**" he wasn't kidding either. The long time NHL goaltender, who had faced plenty of pressure up until that point in his career, admits that he was so shaken by the pressure of having to take over as Canada's #1 goaltender on home soil that he had to immediately go to the bathroom right then and there.

"I went right to the sh**ter on the bus," said Luongo busting out laughing as he told the story. "Right on the bus."

Although the bus did in fact contain a bathroom, thankfully for both Luongo as well as all of his teammates, the nerves didn't stop after Luongo relieved himself.

"So as soon as he told me I never felt nerves like that before," admitted Luongo. "It hits you in one shot, you realize it's the Olympics, you're in Vancouver, you're playing for Vancouver... I was white as a ghost."

Luongo was a young goaltender taking over the net from a legendary goaltender, playing for his home country in the Olympics, on home soil, and in the city in which he was already the starting goaltender for the Vancouver Canucks at the time. I don't think anyone can blame him for being nervous, but it does make for a hilarious story.

It was no doubt a tough call for Babcock to make as well, but as we all know it proved to be the right decision in the end with Canada capturing gold on home soil.
