[Greg Wyshynski] GM Jarmo Kekalainen said Mike Babcock did the phone thing with him as well. “Personally I had no problem with it but I can see how it might put someone in an uncomfortable situation.”

He can see this in hindsight, but couldn’t tell Babcock to knock it off?
I really want to keep Jarmo, but he’s making it extremely hard to defend him.

I mean we’ve heard from Boone and Johnny that Babcock just asked them to show him pictures of their family and such. Which is what Jarmo was referring to in this situation.
We’ve heard from Biz that he took a players phone and scrolled through it for more than 7 minutes… that’s definitely probably not something Jarmo would appreciate… but there’s also no way a coach tells his boss to hand over his phone.

Can we just get a definition for what “phone thing” means? Is it sharing photos you selected yourself with him or is it “give me your phone”?

I’m guessing what happened was one of the young guys didn’t have their photo reel cleaned out in one way or another and didn’t want to have their coach seeing stuff they weren’t comfortable sharing. Like when your mother takes your phone after you show her a picture and she starts swiping and sees stuff you didn’t want her to see.

I come here in peace guys I just wanted to say wow… I kinda feel for you. Season hasn’t even started and you’re dealing with weird shit. At least my team might make it to preseason before disappointing me.
