Around the league part 2

Their front office should be cleaned out for making that call in the first place.

Babcock is a giant prick.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Why bring this guy back? He was done after those Maple Leaf and Red Wing accusations.

It's the I can change him play.

Honestly, I could really give a shit less if the accusations laid against him this time are true, I’m just really enjoying him having a rough time.

After the way he treated Modano at the end of his career, I’ve cared very little for that asshole.

Many were dismissing Spittin Chiclets claims after the statements by Jenner and Gaudreau.

I always say fans take statements by players, coaches and staff too literally. They're just saying what they're supposed to say. Rarely are they actually telling you anything.

Statements from NHL players are basically PR templates.

not many things make me more sick than giving a batch of bros like those spitting chiclets guys a "told you so" moment but gaudreau and jenner don't really stand to gain anything from lying, this isn't some deep state coverup. they probably were asked normal things, babcock probably chose other players to be a with and that's what the PA found out

some people just can't get out of their own way, i guess

The guy is a dinosaur and relect of the old boys club and is so overrated. Not surprised at all he was fired again for his actions.

[King'sPawn]

Yeah. Definitely seems like it was worse than communicated.

Good on Spittin Chiclets for sticking to their guns.

 

[Brownie to Pancakes]

Biz comes out looking like a savant too lol

 

[DoktorJeep]

Airplaygate with Babcock is turning out to be pretty hilarious.

A lot of tired hockey tropes are being deflated in front of our eyes.

 

[johnjm22]

If I ever have a teenage daughter I'm gonna pull a Babcock on any boy that tries to date her.

Looking forward to watching SDPN this week. I'm sure they'll be getting deep into this.

Eventually the whole truth will come out. There has to be more to what occurred. You have 2 veteran leaders of the team saying it was all consensual in the picture sharing, yet the Union says the players privacy clause was violated. So I think something more than this happened that makes the situation much worse than what has been reported. But at the end of the day, the upcoming season and how the Kings fare is what is important to me. Not Babs. Go Kings.

It's not really a matter of lying IMO. They're just saying what they're supposed to say.

You're not supposed to give the media anything when you talk to them. That's what you learn in media training.

Whether something sketchy went on or not, they were always going to give the same milquetoast response.

 

[kingsholygrail]

The whole thing just sounds funny to me. But CBJ was able to cash in on their buyers remorse. lol

For me it makes Gaudreau look like a crappy ‘alternate’ captain not advocating for his teammates. Towing the company line, as it now seems, does not distinguish him as a leader.

Edited to hide my lack of CBJ knowledge.

Jenner is the captain, and I think that makes it worse. He's been there longer than Johnny Hockey has.

 

[kingsholygrail]

So, do they hire Sutter?

"so what kinda tractor ya got, son? show me some pictures"

 

[jgs]

Well the Gm said that Babs asked to see photos of his family during his int with Babs and he said he didn't see anything wrong with it. Weird. There has to be more to what happened that made this all bad.

Went to the games in Traverse City, and yeah Fantilli was stellar. I go to this tournament every year and he was the most impressive prospect since Adam Fox, who took the event by storm before jumping right into the NHL.

I selfishly wanted Fantilli to return and was hoping he’d have a more to prove type attitude like Beniers, Power and Hughes had, but it really would have made no sense to return. He will jump right to the NHL and be a very good player. 99% of the time a player should return for his sophomore year, Fantilli is one of the 1%. He's a better prospect than even the guys I listed.

At least the Ducks didn’t take him at two.

Apparently Babcock gets his full salary.

Good deal for him.

I’ll edit. Please update yours so I don’t look so dumb
