Let me know your thoughts on this news…should they have hired him in the first place?
If you want to know about people, you don't ask to see their phone. In no other business do they do that.
All those who knew about the Hawks scandal should never be hired either
Itâs just wrong on every level to do what he did! My own Wife doesnât ask to go thru my phone but Iâd let her if she wanted. Like what does this have to do with hockey and being a coach ? Privacy invasion to me! Good riddens Babcock!
@9:15…!!!!!!
Columbus team is gonna be brutal. Whatever happened just the fact that a few players are that big of babies speaks to their character. Bunch of entitled princesses. Bottom of the standings again.
Bill Peters can now kiss goodgye any dream he had of returning to the NHL one day, lol.
You can take the spots off of a leopard but do you know what it isâŠ
Trick question. Who's celebrating tonight with some Pink Whitney? Biz or Babcock?
TSH did he already have a contract in place so that he gets paid millions again to not coach?
Goes too show how hockey players mostly veterans have absolutely no balls and just cover up everything. Just ask Chicago players!
Ageist? You've just written off anyone past a certain age. What if someone accuses your YT channel of needing to be demonetized because you're not 25. Careful what you wish for.
Maybe a misunderstamding
Well, this is the best resolution to the investigation of Coach Babcock-
saving some face and giving the CBJ organization to chance to move foward-of course, the real question is why they hired him in the first place with all the baggage he came with. I have to wholeheartedly agree with your previous statement from the other day about the NHL recycling the same group of Coaches–not that these guys don't deserve to work, but, IMHO, the League would be better served with some new coaching blood in the mix, Seriously, how many of these Coaches have headed multiple NHL teams? Whatever the future holds for Coach Babcock, I hope it goes well for him, but, I don't see him ever coaching in the NHL again as a Head Coach.I think a lot of credit can go to Marty Walsh from the players union. I like how he said no weâre not gonna take., âOh, itâs no big deal, nothing to see hereâ at face value and actually did an investigation. Now the players may actually feel like they could trust the players union in these kind of situations.
mike babcock is past his prime. HE was out of the keenan and sutter mould. These are all guys who have no place in coaching and need to go away for good.
"Stop recycling these coaches"..
Simple and spot on. These GMs can't be afraid to be the innovators. Sure, there is risk involved in bringing in an inexperienced coach.. but sometimes you gotta risk it to get the biscuit.
#Bizwasright
And he had that highly complementary recommendation letter from Mike Commodore as well!
Every time the Hawks were looking for a coach after Quennville left (Richardson #3) I was terrified knowing that Babcock was out there waiting by his telephone. CBJ dodged a bullet.
Babcock is a good coach…… but he should have known better?? Young people's phones are almost an extension of themselves & they are very attached to their phones & they have all their VERY private stuff on the phone . This guy has daughters & he should have asked his kids how they see their phones. Almost All young people are this way…..
Who isn't out for themselves? That's the world
Bottom line he will never be back. Awesome. H e has made more money than he ever deserved.
All the young players in cbj will be happy babcocks gone but on the flip side . Cbj will suck because there players half ass everything.
I said when he was fired this is crazy. It's taking a chance on something that probably wouldn't work.
I did though believe he would be able to start the season before he was fired…
Spot on as always
Vancouver is unable to afford Petterson's demand of a cup, but habs can make them a contender in a trade! For example we have , M & M Matheson and Mailloux. Reinbacher, Barron, Engsfrom, Guhle, Harris, Arbor, Kovacevic, Hudson, Lidstrom, Savard, etc so we can afford to trade off at least 2 D and Anderson, and a pick and Peterson will have a contender and make Habs a contender as well with his talent Lets say Barron and Harris and Anderson! and a pick or a prospect. Let me dream! finally, that STAR PLAYER WE ALWAYS NEEDED and we put Vancouver in contention as well
