  1. I don't see Babcock lasting long. I remember when he was at Toronto badgering a young Mitch Marner into outing a player he felt wasn't working hard enough (I think the player was Kadri). That kind of behavior is unacceptable, and you have to wonder why he was hired in the first place.

  2. Oh man, I’m dying laughing imagining Babcock asking for Jenner’s phone to review his photos, and Jenner just looking at him and saying; “Umm, why don’t you take a good long, hard look at the sun.”

  3. I'm not sure what to make about Terry Pegula. Does having a wife from South Korea kind of give him more believability??? I'm unsure.

    I give Babs until New Years, a cat doesn't change it's stripes.

  4. when did this turn into a speculation channel? That's not what happened with Babock, way out of context. Do better.

  5. IF the Babcock story is correct (big if) he's learnt nothing. Guys like him and Sutter don't seem to realize you can be old-school, even hardass without being a toxic asshole. It's one thing to push players hard physically/mentally, and show you reward hard work/discipline…it's another to play mind games, turn teammates against each other, make constant power moves, and be randomly punitive.

  6. Trotter has had a history of not treating people with full honesty, so…..

  7. As a Wings fan, I'm not really a fan of Babcock. However, even though it's not really an appropriate ask, I'd hand my phone over. Even if it was my current boss. I've got nothing to hide.

  8. I really think this is much ado about nothing….but I still say " fire the cock" the cbj deserves better.

  9. Wow getting Tatar for $1.5M is amazing for Colorado. They really needed to improve their forward lineup, but they didn't have cap space to do so, so this is a godsend.

  10. The hockey world is still just the "Old Boys Club!" Always washing rinsing and repeating even guys like Babcock were already outed as being an AHole!

  11. 90% of these owners are SUPER old it wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of them are racist but I don’t see anything we can do about that. It’s not a good thing. I wish we could change it but all we can do is hope that whoever buys the team or takes it over from them. Is a better human begin.

  12. babcock will be out of the league soon enough. He cant coach differently and he has no leeway so his days are numbered.

  13. I've been a jets fan for like 8 years and just feel like the team has been gradually losing its potential. idk, could be just me thinking that.

  14. That guy couldn't find a better suspect than Terry 10 ply Pegula? I don't like the guy but even I know calling him racist is a Mr Fantastic type stretch.

  15. Not a Babcock guy but l would be inclined to see where this whole story goes. Especially when the story starts with Paul Bissonette…just sayin'

  16. Tatar will have a great yr with the Avs then sign a good Deal next yr with someone alot of contenders are cash strapped I think the Avs were his best shot of chasing a cup of the teams that were interested 1.5 is a steal for a guy coming off a 48pt season

  17. The Babcock controversy sounds like BS, listen to Johnny Gaudreau's take on 32 Thoughts. If it wasn't Babcock, wouldn't even be a story. I get Shannon's take, even agree with him in general, but it sounds like this was an innocent exercise in team building more than a manager power play. I suspect a player wanted to put him on notice based on his reputation.

  18. Patrick Marleau said its a nothing burger. He was asked to share a couple photos by Babs. Patrick said it was no big deal.
