The comment about players in the closet is probably very very true. Statistically there should be about 200 players at the highest level that are gay or bisexual across the 4 major North American sports. There is 1 that is open. Either the players that are, have been forced into the closet, or are driven out of the sports through toxicity before they're able to get to professional leagues.
Ron Dugay š¤£š š¤£š
Not because of his last name
Hawks gonna name Bedard their next captain but wanna give him 1-3 years of NHL experience first š
Mike Babecock ā¦ that guy is a real jerk.
Babcock makes Keenan seem like a player's coach.
No cap space left and still can't make the playoffs lmao classic….
Timo will be the 28th devil to wear the number 28 ā°š
Could the PInto situation lead to him being traded to the Bs?
Who will get the Aās for Chicago?
Philadelphia wants Pinto
Atkinson and Couts said they were ready to play last year at end of season during their exit interviews. In the Flyers press conference, Briere said the same but said they hadn't practiced, would be off on their timing and such and the risk was high, so he wants them to "start at the bottom" by beginning at the same time as everybody else.
4/4 with captain predictions so far. Woo!
Could be homo related photos that a player enjoys. There are around 40 nhl players who are homosexual in the league based on scientific data percentages applied to rosters.
Did I hear that right? He invited a player over for lunch, flipped through his phone, and sent him packing without lunch? What a weirdo!
I'm expecting Bedard to be the next captain for Chicago before his ELC ends. McDavid quickly became captain for Edmonton when he came into the league.
After recommending him for the head coach job, you'd think Hitchcock would have sent Babcock something like "How to Pretend You're a Human" or similar self help book titles. The Steve Dangle Podcast nailed it when it looked at the "comprehensive" vetting process the Columbus GM did, which amounted to asking Babcock's friends and not his last employers or wronged employees. If he'd listened to the university in Saskatchewan about their dealings with Babcocks there's no way they would have hired him unless they were out of their minds.
If Myers is moved or bought out in his last season, causing long term pain for short term gain, it's a clue that maybe this professional management group running the Canucks is just winging it. At this point, with all the cap strapped teams out there and the lack of depth on the blueline, Vancouver needs to suck it up and hold onto him until at least the trade deadline (if they look like they're missing the playoffs again).
Naming the captain. It's Captain Crunch.
Your thumbnail game is something else, Shannon.
renaud lavoie wrote in his book that 2 of the worst coachs he worked with, babcock and hitchcock. and 2 of the best are torts and pat burns. babcock is nothing but a clown, once you call out his bs he retreats and rebuffs it as being playful or misunderstood.
Babcock is the Frank Reynolds of hockey.
Whoever doubted Biz and defended Babcock ought to be ashamed of themselves. Babcock is a real P.O.S and keeps proving it more and more
Whats a good reliable place to order hockey jerseys of any kind? NHL, AHL, ECHL, CHL, KHL, etc? I don't need authentic, just a reliable place that's honest and won't rip you off. Any suggestions are appreciated
There are players that think Babcock is the worst person they ever met…..that takes some doing.
There is a reason requires a search warrnt to look through your phone without permission. So to play a mind game and coerce them is wrong.
i wanna thank shannon and honestly whit too for opening up the conversation about how this could out closeted lgbt players in a really dangerous way and why that's important. acknowledging this is not something i expected and i'm very glad it was brought up. because it is very much a possibility and closeted players are a statistical and unavoidable inevitability.
Sadly, Brayden Schenn is now the Captain of a sinking ship in STL–the Blues will be horrible this season and not make the playoffs.
Another thing that hasn't been mentioned that would be my problem with the phone. What if he saw wife/gf nudes? I know I have those on my phone, those guys that travel like that? I bet they have tons of them
Anyone surprised by the Babcock incident as it unfolds more and more did not understand his character didn't change from previous years. Not that people can't change, but he didn't really ever, as far as I'm aware, show that he really understood what he did in previous coaching seasons was wrong.
Is Ottawa looking at another Alex Formenton scenario with Shane Pinto? Is there even any talk about Formenton's status, let alone Pinto's?
Blue Jackets are never leaving the basement.
Been drinking BioSteel a lot this year. Was initially in some local gas stations, but was quickly replaced by Prime energy drinks unfortunately. Fairly hard to find in any stores, so I started buying in bulk from Amazon. Tastes great, especially Mixed Berry and Blue Raspberry. Ashame it's going away. Never completely stopped drinking Gatorade, but I guess it's back to it full-time.
I'm still of the mind that barstool is terrible for the nhl. I always will be. They tried to take Boone Jenner down with Babcock, and that's a problem.
Please don't go there. go high, not low.
Ah, lawsuits to come that could bankrupt Columbus. Too bad.
6:44 Hey don't forget Tomas Holmstrom was number 15 and went to 96 for the rest of his career
Babcock is a dinosaur, holy shit
Look at some of those Detroit and Toronto rosters that Babcock coached. And in 15 seasons he won 12 rounds? What a legend.
I know for damn sure that when I was 18-21 and still in the closet, that if anyone (let alone someone in a position of authority) was pressuring me to show them my phone so they could learn about me, Iād have gone stone cold and been scared half out of my mind.
who knows if visible apprehension would even be taken as a sign to drop it, or an invitation for comments like ācāmon what are you hiding?ā ā causing further internal struggle.
He may have the name Badcock. But for those that know him well, pompous ass describes him well
Would like Pinto on the Jets . They need more Centres.
Mike Babcock's house. Canadian horror story season 1
come on sign Pinto, thanks Shannon
Love that blues jersey!
Never heard you comment on LGBT players in the league lol ya thereās some
Schenn's a TRUE Blue. Reminds me of another Blues captain, Brian Sutter…
Yeah Babcock was always the wrong call. And I guess I shouldnāt have given him the benefit of the doubt that he didnāt act like a ball busting judge mental powertripper.
From othersā perspective showing pictures should be ok but forcedully taking them and judging them in your home (familiar environment to you, unfamiliar to them) that is invasive, weird shit.
Anyone else it would have been way different and i shouldnāt have assumed that was the case here.
(Came back from vacay today and I was catching up here)
sorry shannon but ur ducks story is wrong wasnt a rookie was a vet he said that to
