This tour of the horse barn is pretty awesome

The Flames stock their AHL team with big boys and try to run you out of the building. He should fit in well.

Yeah. I mean he tripped his leg and the guy is going "he didn't touch his skate". LOL

What a snipe!

This Calgary guy is full of ****. That was a trip, obviously.

The Wranglers are a big, mean, dirty team at the AHL level. They smacked Abby around pretty good last year.

Don't you hate it when the pbp guy starts into a long-winded anecdote and a scoring chance ensues?\...

Heady tip by the 18 year old there

McWard looks smooth rushing the puck

I'm rooting for the guys wearing hockey numbers

Alex Kannok-Liepert beat the heck out of Klapka last year in one of those fights. The fans in Abby went nuts...

This guy put the canyon in Canyon!

I could dance to this all night long!

Man, that inspirational message gave me goosebumps. Now I'm really stoked!

Tolopilo starts in nets...

Let's go!!

Ward: I don't believe Babcock will survive this Former NHL defenceman Aaron Ward tells us what he thinks the future holds for Columbus Blue Jackets coach Mike Babcock and takes your questions for ask Aaron Anything Friday https://www.tsn.ca/radio/montreal-690/ward-i-don-t-believe-babcock-will-survive-this-1.2008030

The players would need to meet and clear the air. The Johnsons and Fantillis are the future of that team. If it does turn out the kids were dealt with differently, that would matter.

If Jarmo tries to be proactive and fire Babcock I think he would have some 'splainin' to do to his owner about the $4M x 2 owed. I'm sure the team would prefer Babcock be banned outright by the league and the deal voided, though I guess a lawsuit would likely ensue. It's quite a mess they have created for themselves, as you say.

You also hear from ex-players that this old behavior from Babcock; that it's the same old Babs etc. This came out on the original Spittin Chiclets report.

I I had to guess I would say Jarmo and JD's names are probably being thrown out there because Babcock announced his retirement from coaching and the NHL thought they were rid of one of their 'problematic' personalities only to have these guys reach out and drag him back into the game. I think it's fair to say there were many people out there who were not supportive of the move, fans, players, management types, and league officials alike.

Unless you were in the room you don't know what actually happened any more than the rest of us do. Why don't we wait until we find out more before making definitive pronouncements? The scuttlebutt from ex-players coming out today isn't great. Most recently Aaron Ward said on TSN that from what he is hearing this is definitely a fireable offense. I personally think Babcock probably doesn't think he has done anything wrong and he is bewildered by all of the hubbub. But then, he is a narcissistic psychopath so he wouldn't necessarily have the tools to figure it out.

If he is banned I wouldn't be surprised if the GM there Jarmo hires Mike Keenan next. He seems to have a penchant for hiring a certain type of coach.

More dark speculation on the Babsy boo-boo...
