Don’t understand the controversy. He asked players for personal pics to show everyone together. Any pics shown were up to the player who submitted them.

Babcock is a horrible person and his statement was a complete joke. A “distraction”??? The man is a mentally manipulative piece of trash. How many players have to tell stories of how shitty he treats people? Brendan is being very diplomatic because there’s no reason for him to pile on. But he should! Babcock definitely did harm to people and their careers and especially after the Marner thing he shouldn’t have been allowed to ever coach again. This should be fully aired out to prevent other coaches from doing similar things.
