The hate for Biz is weird.

Well, I mean, he's cultivated the temperament and image of a frat boy at 40 years old and the schtick wears thin.

I'm glad his platform was used for good here, though.

He's a hockey player acting like a hockey player.

I can’t get over how dumb Babcock is. How do you know you have no margin for error going in and get fired before coaching a game for basically the same reason you did in your last stop?

he's a perfect example of why hockey culture f***ing sucks

Babcock just did what he does. It's the way he knows how to be successful. Tbh the bigger headscratch is Jarmo. But I guess he was willing to risk. They signed Gaudreau, they HAVE to force the rebuild a bit more.

It isn't for everyone

Guy walks down the street, whacking people with a stick and slamming them into the buildings along the sidewalk. As one passerby pulls out his phone to call the cops another one stops him and says, "nah man, that's a hockey player acting like a hockey player."

We’re you walking in San Francisco yesterday too?

I'm not walking in SF until the cop strike ends.

Just, what? You hired this man after that?

I don’t think I’ll ever truly understand the ways of career hockey men. Mysterious creatures.

Do we know exactly what "the phone thing" is at this point? Was he airplaying their camera roll? Was he digging through their phone? Was he asking them to show him pictures from their phone?

I've heard so many variations - some way more intrusive than others.

 

[Mr Rogers]

So he apologized to the team for hiring him but then says he has no problem with it lol

Honestly it doesn't matter.

A person in power asked a person to surrender some of their privacy. There is no way those young players especially could feel comfortable saying no, which basically the same thing as forcibly taking it.

If you need to go through peoples photo albums to see if they have any damning pics in order to get to know them then youre a shit judge of character and shouldn't be in the position to lead 18 year old men anyways.

Oh I agree, I was just wondering exactly how f***ed up his head is.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Babcock is such a moron. That was nothing more than a power move over his subordinates.

 

[Terry Yake]

jarmo's lucky the season is about to start or else they probably would've kicked him to the curb too

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Just, what? You hired this man after that?

LOL!

"Hey Jarmo, as a part of our bonding scheme let's screen-share our phone galleries."

"Wow Mike, you're such a visionary."

 

[Ducks DVM]

Terry is a hockey player. I don’t think he acts like that.

Biz is a jackass, acting like a jackass. No reason to excuse it, and no reason to make it any worse than what it was. I find him amusing in 5-10 second bites, but he’s obviously only there for comedic relief.

I can see how this might make some of my other employees uncomfortable but I am going to hire you anyway because wheeeee

I know it is supposed to be satire but this pretty much sums up the whole debacle for me

People can be upset about it but locker rooms are full of guys like Biz.

It's dude-bro sport culture, not even just hockey.

You'd get in trouble for shooting pucks at people on the street too, what's your point?
