Michael Russo on Babcock Allegations: “Trust me when I tell you that there were players in Columbus that were absolutely weirded out by the situation, and this is not going away. This is a major problem right now.”

    My god, are we ever going to get an official statement about this or are we just going to “he said, she said” our way all the way to preseason?

    If Babcock actually made players uncomfortable and the NHLPA makes a statement like that, I’m NGL everybody gotta go. Coaches, front office, just total clear out at this point. This was already a bad hire and it’s blowing up in their faces before we’ve even gotten to camp.

    Weirded out or refusing to play for Babcock?

    I agree it’s kinda weird, but I would move on with life. Is Russo saying this is a dealbreaker for players? That they are broken emotionally now? What is the context here?

    Babcock should have never, ever been hired. He’s one of the most abusive coaches in NHL history, and what this means for players is that they’re always going to be questioning his intent and there will be a lot of trust issues. That’s not great for forming a healthy coach-player relationship.
