I've learned never to give people like Mike Babcock the benefit of the doubt, even if I have philosophical differences with the source.

What a colossal, avoidable mess.

Is he the only coach to get fired before even coaching a game?

Was this a result of the NHLPA's in person investigation?

Strange how quickly people accepted the BlueJackets statement. Even the NHLPA seemed too quick to brush it aside with that initial response.

Likewise, of course Jenner and Gaudreau are more likely to be ok with the privacy breach, or at least are more likely to go on record with a reporter that they are.

Good riddance to another toxic person in a position of power.

Jesus. Just incredibly bad PR for a franchise that already has trouble attracting free agents.

You still have to question just WTF Johnny was thinking signing there of all places. It can't be a fun place to work these days.

Hahahahahaha!!!

Seriously? So I guess there was some fire to that smoke.

Jarmo is probably not far behind him.

So what actually is the truth after Gaudreau and Jenner came out in support of Babcock?

What the actual F was Babcock thinking.

Can we just launch this man into the Sun now? He can take Hockey Canada with him.
