Will he even coach a game this season? This is not a great start. At all.

The fact that this feels believable is crazy. The guy should not be coaching another NHL game.

Focus on the powerplay, not your captain's throbbing rooster. - That's hilarious....the comment, not that Babcock is insane.

Gee, imagine that. An old dude in his 60s that has shown himself to be a POS everywhere he goes, still showing those traits. Laughable people thought someone his age would "learn a lesson" and magically become a better person. Dude is a psycopath and is never going to change.

I hope the BJs keep him and he destroys the team. Whomever was stupid enough to hire him should be shown the door along with Babcock when that time comes.

Has a coach ever been fired before coaching a single game?

I'm absolutely shocked that Mike Babcock of all people would do something like this. Shocked.

Not a coach but only person I can think of is Neil Smith on the Islanders didn't even make the season I believe.

It's very stupid by Babcock...but I also think Biz took a bit of a leap to dick pics.

He probably wants to see if the guy has photos of him out partying all offseason, not dick picks.

It's actually more alarming that the first thing Biz thought of when somebody asked to see the photos on your phone is a bunch of dick pics...what the hell photos does Biz have on his phone.

Have you listened to him? You know exactly what kind of photos he has.

Whether he has photos of partying in the offseason or not, it's still extremely inappropriate for Babcock to be doing this. It's none of his business. What an extreme invasion of privacy.

This is why hockey culture in general is so awful. I swear the sport prides itself on rewarding poor decisions and humans.

Didn't dispute that - idiotic and inappropriate from Babcock.

Also don't think it's really fair to Babcock (even if he doesn't deserve "fair") to jump to the conclusion that he wanted to see his players dick pics, which is what Biz did here.

One thing is inappropriate and an invasion of privacy, the other is closer to sexual assault.

Similar to in Toronto when he got players to write down what their teammates suck at, his intent here is to be able to hold whatever questionable photos (to him) he sees over the players during the season. His toxic way to motivate. Clown show!
