Toews Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 The Jackets and their management look awful in all of this. They hired Babcock despite his history. Then when first sign of misconduct was reported, it took them a day to put out that statement supporting Babcock. They showed their players that don't actually care about their well being. They also made their captain to look like a weak leader and a shill for management. The same goes for the NHLPA, their primary responsibility is to their union members but they too initially chose to side with the team. There are no winners in this scenario except maybe the guys that broke this story. I actually don't think Babcock meant any ill intent when this all went down. I think he is just an out of touch 60 year old man, who does not understand that there is a way to do this without making people uncomfortable. If he understood the way the kids in this generation use technology he would not have put them on the spot and asked them to pull up images on their phones. The way to do this was to speak to the players before hand, ask them to send the photos that they were comfortable with sharing to the IT department so they could set up a meeting where everyone got to know each other. I think Babcock is done after this debacle there is no way he gets another job in the NHL again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Babcock is an arrogant goof and this looks good on him. Way too many rumours and stories over the years of his mistreatment of players so it stands to reason much of it is true, and much of it is untold. Love it when Karma visits. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 This is a message from the players plain and simple: We don’t want you coaching in this league. The cancel culture people will be up in arms but this isn’t about cancel culture. This is about players stepping up and saying enough is enough. There’s a way to treat professional players at this level and he hasn’t figured out how to do it and never will. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently under the guise of wanting to know them better but also sounds like it could be for blackmail down the road. Personally I would be very surprised if this is true, especially since Babcock knows he's skating on thin ice. Ewwwwwwwwwww.... so if I understood this correctly.... basically, Babcock could get hold of players' intimate photos with their partners and..... get some pleasure himself????

And some fan faves and locker room leaders moved out as part of his decision making. If Cock resigns , which he has , doesn't that mean they don't have to pay him his 8 million ?
