rekker Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I think there is more to this than originally reported, thus the legs it has. I'm hearing Babcock actually asked the younger player, not sure who, to hand over his phone so Babs could look at it. Speculation, but if true, that's not gonna fly. Babs is in a position of power, especially over a young player, and this is an abuse of power. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't even know a lot of the players, and if he does know some of them it's highly likely it's not well enough to be sharing family photos. I don't see why the GM and President would be let go though, unless they knew what happened (a player or more than one said something to them about what happened and that it bothered them) and did nothing to address it. 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I heard today on NHL Network, speculation, is Babs asked the player to hand the phone over. That's weird, if true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Enemies are sometimes born, but mostly they are made. Babs has a lot of enemies so it stands to reason they are enemies for a reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawbone Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 If it was indeed a "hand over your phone" scenario, then that's a real invasion of privacy. Everyone has stuff on their phone that they don't want other people to see. Your phone is your life, especially for younger people, and there could be so much compromising info on it. If it was a "can you show me a few family photos" scenario with the players volunteering the photos, I don't see that as a big deal as long as they picked the photos.

That's weird, if true. That’s abusive if true. Asking to share family photos with people we barely know is weird. But taking control of that person’s phone is 100% wrong. That’s going from weird to abusive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 This whole thing has already made one 360 turn and I feel like it's going to keep spinning. At this point if I'm Jarmo I would just take the L and move on. This whole thing is a pure circus show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited September 15, 2023 by Jack Gordon typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Johnsons and Fantillis are the future of that team. If it does turn out the kids were dealt with differently, that would matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have to go 82-0 and even then people will ask why this kid got benched or something like that. It'll just always boil down to "is the coach still a psycho" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
