Around the League - Offseason Edition

Looks like Bissonnette had it right.

What a circus this has been

LMFAO.

Babcock's redemption tour ends before it began. Good Riddance.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Remember when people said "that should be the end of it" when the Jackets and Babcock put out a statement?

Biz had zero reason to fabricate a story like that. He was just standing up for the players.

Good riddance.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Holy shit! This escalated to an extreme degree. Man couldn’t even make it to pre-season before he was out of there.

I wonder if anyone else in the Blue jackets front office gets axed due to the ill-timed statement they rushed out. Certainly awkward for Jenner, he's probably not too happy about it now

Cancel culture wins again.

Yeah not a good look for the captain. He should have had his teammates backs.

Ya, being held accountable for your actions is a terrible thing right?

 

[Metroid]

Cancel culture wins again.

If you think you that, you're part of the problem.

Cancel culture wins again.

Consequences for dumb decisions wins again

 

[Peasy]

Hate to say I told you so but, this guy has a clear history lmao. Where there was tons of smoke, surprise there was a fire.

But so many people said he was just being a social awkward old dude that didnt know technology

 

[BertCorbeau]

LOL, wow Babs

 

[saffronleaf]

Love seeing Babcuck get humbled.

 

[Chief Leaf]

The players of Columbus should take a picture of Babcock leaving the door and airplay it to him on his Tv.

 

[IPS]

lol wtf are you doing now Babs

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Greg is right. Big ups to Marty Walsh and Ron Hainsey for going down to Columbus and getting to the bottom of this. Even half a decade ago the BS PR statement would've been the end of it and Babcock could've continued on with his manipulation.

Haven't been posting much since Matthews' contract extension really bummed me the F out. Also not been following hockey news much.

was just checking news that this babcock thing popped up under sports.

Mainboard has so many pages I ain't going through them all. The article said babcock was fired for looking at pictures on the players' phones. Seems ridiculous to me

Did he steal the phone or grabbed it from players and invaded privacy? or players show them voluntarily?

was there anything else to the story?

Sparks notes version of the events would be much appreciated

[capfit9]

I would want an answer from CBJ organization regarding their statement that they put out, Clearly they did not thoroughly investigate which falls on upper management .

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Cancel culture wins again.

More like 'known shite human being continues to act like a shite human being'.
Would you be cool if your boss grabbed your phone and started going through your shit???

Highly doubt it

Mike Babcock resigns as Blue Jackets head coach following photo controversy

Mike Babcock will resign as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday.

According to multiple sources, one of the most serious concerns was a meeting that occurred away from team facilities that included “several minutes” of looking through a phone. That was beyond the scope of what was initially understood to have occurred.
