They need someone who is willing to hold Gaudreau and Laine accountable and bench them if they keep refusing to backcheck. He's a bully and disgrace of a coach, total locker room cancer. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I'd say Gary let's him back in, if Joel asks. They can't keep Quenville out too long, or it makes the rest of the 'punishment', to the team, look way too weak.-which it was.

wildwood12 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I thought Columbus was trying to attract players to play there. Hiring that CREEP is going to do the opposite. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) The issue is, no matter what people feel about Babs, he is a world class coach and all statements point to him being a better overall coach and person as the bench boss of the Sask Huskies.. Only 2 seasons under .500, 1 stanley cup, 2 cup finals, a .608 coaching record in the regular season and . 549 in the playoffs Every team he has taken over has essentially improved almost immediately. He is walking in to a Jackets core of Laine, Sillinger, Johnson, Laine, Gaudreau, Foudy, Marchenko and Roslovic with a better seeming blue line than he's had since his last 3 years in Detroit with Werenski, Peeke, Boqvist and prospects in waiting such as Jiricek, McKown, Dumais, Cameron, Mateychuk and Cuelemans. This is without mentioning that the Jackets are about to draft one of Fantilli or Carlsson. Babcock walking in to Columbus with THAT line up and THAT depth of youth and prospects is a man that can drive walking behind the cockpit of an F-1 racing machine and if he can tame it he is going to do amazing things with it. Like him or hate him, I am now putting my money on the Jackets to have one of the best bounce back years in NHL history. Easily a 25-30 point increase.

I agree with you, Babcock's style of coaching does produce immediate results, the issue is the impact on players long term. This isn't too different from hiring Tortorella, he too provided instant results for the Jackets but then they subsequently lost Bob, Panarin and Dubois in quick succession. I think he will get the young guys to buy-in but the interesting thing to see is whether he has learned anything from his exile and will choose a different route with some of the veterans on the team. If he doesn't and we hear some rumblings about player dissatisfaction then I wouldn't be surprised to see another significant exodus. Will be an interesting experiment to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timråfan Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 12 hours ago, Coconuts said: Q and Bowman absolutely shouldn't work in the NHL again. I'm all for people getting second chances but some things don't deserve forgiveness and some things will lose you a second chance, covering up sexual assault is one of those things. I've read about some of what Babcock's done in the past, dude has been an absolute asshole and has seemingly abused players like Franzen in the past, but I'd still put that on a different level. Unfortunately Babcock likely isn't alone in that, he's just someone we know about because news and word have gotten out. I'd have been fine with Babcock never working in the NHL again too, I understand why folks would argue that, I'm not looking to minimize his past behaviour. But for me what Q and Bowman did was some next level shit. The fact the Hawks weren't punished properly is a travesty, they should have never had a 1st this year. Babcock is a psychopath so CBJ is in for a ride. That kind of humans plan revenge etc and can wait ten years or more to get even. They are a danger to have anywhere near an organisation. If someone headhunting him they should replace that headhunter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way Columbus doesn't know what they're getting into, he'll likely be observed pretty closely and they've likely spoken at length. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and I hope they know the difference between old school dumb nut or psychopath. It’s very easy to fool NA hockey people with the right words resounding their own opinion about accountability etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he will go back to being like in his Spokane Chiefs days. The Columbus GM has only been GM for two years. But the team seems to be moving backwards. Not forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babcock should not be put in the same sentence as Quenneville. One was too harsh and mean to his players because he yelled at them, the other was complicit in a sexual exploitation coverup.

BabychStache Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Columbus looks poised for a big comeback. Lots of good players, great prospect pool, and grabbing Leo at 3 will be huge. They are going to push for playoffs in my opinion. Just need to stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
