Hahaha, Babcock what a maroon.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

LMFAO, Mike Babcock is a weirdo. Jaarmo should be next given he hired this toxic idiot
How did he even make it as a coach in the NHL? He struggles at connecting with people. Datsyuk, Lidstrom and Zetterberg must have had the patience of saints.

Yeah even the guys that won with him had seemed lukewarm at best about him after. He's run his course in this league I think

I'd wager it's at least worse than people here think, or at least the players feel it's worse, for this to happen. Doesn't happen without player pressure, and usually that's not enough. Back to Saskatchewan college hockey Bab's.
Definitely creeping on his players wives… The players weren’t worried about Babcock seeing pictures of them, but about an invasion of the privacy of their families. He has pictures of them on a loop in his room.
Not only did Zetterberg. Shanny hated Babs in Detroit it’s no secret that’s a big reason why Shanny left the Wings .

That speculation all becomes discredited when Shanny goes out and hires him for the Leafs

Typical arrogance from Mike Boobcock. He hasn't learned a damn thing. How dare he wants to look at players' personal photos on their phone. The hockey world will be a better place when this clown is gone for good.
the woke culture has invaded hockey....
Poor little ruch kids, showed pics of their family from their phone, at their choice using technology of z TV screen so they viuld control it..wah wah

Imagine already getting caught and publicly shamed for this once before, and then not learning your lesson and then it happens all over again. The guy is sick. He can’t stop himself.
That’s not what this is. He has a history of using blackmail to manipulate, control players and destroy careers. That is the case if you listen to Mike Commodore, anyways.

Come on it’s perfectly normal for a 60 year old man to have a 20 year long obsession with psychologically manipulating teenagers who he has significant financial power over, there’s nothing weird about that it’s just Mike Babcock betting on Mike Babcock.

Mike Babcock: The family man?
To all of the people that were framing this as a nothing burger, NO ONE does this. Absolutely no one. If your new boss asked you to hand over your phone to let them scroll through it for a few minutes. you're going to do it? Come on. The man has something wrong with him.

I disagree. He is just playing his dumb mind games. He doesn't care about the player's families.

People who abuse power dynamics aren't suited for leadership roles. He had no reason to play mind games while under heavy scrutiny, he just couldn't help himself. Treating people with basic respect has nothing to do with being woke
It's gonna be a good few months before we hear what actually happened. It's gonna be ugly, guaranteed.
Its textbook control freak behavior. He wants to know something he can use against them later.
You would think somebody with Babcock's history would be ultra careful about how he treats his players and the optics of what he's asking for
This is downright stupid, I can understand wanting to get to know guys but going through phones? Are you looking to get sacked?
I'm old, older than a lot of guys on here and I hate "cancel culture" but I know there's no way in hell I'd let any boss of mine through my private electronic devices
It's a massive invasion of privacy

Guess you can't teach an old Babs new tricks

Yep. Frankie Corrado said as much earlier this week. The “family man” persona Babs has tried to cultivate is phony as all hell.
