lmao

When people complain about the NHL being an old boy’s club, this is what they’re talking about.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Damn, I thought I made yet another witty comment and everybody was liking it, but nope, just Shogun making a bunch of new threads.

I've never felt so hurt in my life.

Aw c'mon buddy - when it comes to wit - you're full of it.

Thank you so much

The Babcock shit that has been coming out screams sociopath. Inviting a young player to your house for lunch, asking to see their phone and snooping through it, and then sending him off without lunch? What the f***?

It is insane. How did he think he would get away with it?

He's just that big of a narcissist? Maybe he just didn't care? His sociopathy is so evolved that he didn't think he would ever get caught? This is a guy who has thrived by treating people this way his entire life.

It still blows my mind that Columbus hired him to begin with. His history with Franzen and the things former players have to say about him is enough of a red flag. This was inevitable. I just can't believe how f***ing insane he is.

Did you hear the story about the guy trying to make an NHL roster, taping his stick before the last preseason game?

Babcock came and sat down next to him and said "Pretty amazing, isn't it?" Player agreed, and Babock says "Soak it in. It's the last time you'll ever be on an NHL bench ."

What a sociopathic piece of shit. Good riddance.

Sounds like something that happened in an episode of it’s always sunny in Philadelphia

Interesting choice.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Interesting choice.

Think it makes sense due to his history with the organization. Last year of his contract also. Might be mcavoy next season.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Didn't realize Marchand has a bunch of top 10 Hart vote seasons and top 16 Selke vote seasons. Good for him.

Yeah, but the cheapshotting/dirty play, and all his other antics, have never screamed "leader" to me.

Never know. We aren’t in the room. Could be nothing more then a ceremonial honor for him this year.

Marchand is a turd. But he's their turd in the Boston lockerroom. That said, it's not much better than if the Bulls named Rodman the captain. You want your Captain to have a bit more emotional restraint. Marchand has none.

Not comparable

I walked past Babcock at the Amsterdam airport when they were coming home from Denmark. Can't remember why NHL people were there, I think some worlds or something. He was on the phone just yelling at someone while eating a salad. Talking about "not my f***ing problem.. like it or don't its happening"

Great .. Marchand has an emotional control of a high schooler. Rodman has one of a junior high schooler. They both lack emotional control. That's the point.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Marchand has mostly reigned in his antics thru years

He still can be putz and douche at times but being captain makes sense given his time in Boston and what he means to team

Marchand isn't ditching the team in the middle of the season to go on vacation just cause he feels like it
