Odd. Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Basically he’s asked players for access to their phones, and then airplays private photos to his personal desktop. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would be very surprised if this is true, especially since Babcock knows he's skating on thin ice. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but Babcock also has repeatedly shown an inability to understand what constitutes f**ked up behavior. It is entirely possible he did this believing that there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he was doing. Guys who need have a daughter or a wife to learn about what constitutes inappropriate behavior are almost always completely incompetent dbags. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJC Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Report: NHLPA investigating Mike Babcock for alleged phone incident with Boone Jenner Mike Babcock is already in some hot water before coaching a game for the Blue Jackets. Arun Srinivasan Tue, September 12, 2023 at 9:51 AM PDT The NHLPA is reportedly investigating allegations levied against Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Mike Babcock that claim he violated a player's privacy, as first reported by The Athletic’s Aaron Portzline. Paul Bissonnette of Barstool’s Spittin’ Chiclets podcast stated that Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner was summoned by Babcock for a meeting. Babcock allegedly asked to see the photos on Jenner’s phone, then used AirPlay to display Jenner’s photos on his office television. After Portzline reported the Blue Jackets were aware of the matter, Bissonnette doubled down and stated the allegations levied against Babcock are “100 percent true.” Babcock and Jenner have not yet responded to Portzline's requests seeking comment. If the allegations are proven true, it would prove a repeated pattern of abusive behaviour from Babcock. During his tenure with the Toronto Maple Leafs, it was revealed that Babcock made Mitch Marner rank his teammates’ work ethic. Babcock then read the list aloud to the rest of the team against Marner’s will. Johan Franzen, who starred for the Detroit Red Wings under Babcock’s watch, called him the worst person he’s ever met, accusing Babcock of verbally abusing him. Babcock was hired by the Blue Jackets on July 1, his first NHL head coaching position since being fired by the Maple Leafs in November 2019. The 60-year-old was once considered one of hockey’s master tacticians, leading the Anaheim Ducks to a Stanley Cup Final appearance in 2003, while winning the Cup with the Red Wings in 2008. Babcock’s 700 wins rank 12th all-time, fifth among active coaches. On the international stage, he has coached Canada to two Olympic gold medals, World Juniors gold, World Championship gold and a World Cup of Hockey title.

Popular Post Quantum Posted September 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2023 Who would've guessed that Mike Babcock is still a dirtbag? Oh yeah, pretty much everybody but apparently Jarmo Kekalainen. The good news is that there are still some quality coaches available to hire like Bruce Boudreau who can step in before it is too late. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFaithfulCap Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 What a clueless asshole. Players absolutely have privacy rights and the power imbalance in this situation is crazy. I think fantilli will be a solid player but i hope they keep sucking and babcock is gone soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
