You can be upset at multiple things at the same time. You know that, right?

Apparently he did a lot of learning from kids to better understand how to connect with the players of now.

Sounds like he hasn't done a lot of learning.

Just seems like a weird way and a real breach of privacy to connect with your new team by requesting pictures.

Babcock's desire to hold all power over his players & their careers, paired with his willingness to abuse that power in the past, is what makes this situation so uncomfortable.

If Craig Conroy is getting to know new players and asks to see pictures of their families, you don't think anything of it. Totally different though when it's an emotionally abusive coach like Babcock, and if it were me, I'd be entirely uncomfortable with having Babcock learn any details at all about my life outside of the rink.

Mike Babcock should never have been hired in the first place just a stupid move by the Jackets.

Looks like they didn't do a lot of vetting on their end and it might end up biting them in the ass.

A few of the other players have come out and said its not just the pictures things he is power hungry and abusive and won't change.

Lets hope it causes lots of chaos and sewers the Blue Jackets season.

Have fun Johnny.

Oh, so not other Blue Jacket players adding relevant details to the current situation.

Shocking you wouldn't clarify that.

Shocking a bully like yourself who provides nothing to this website continues to follow me around still sulking and crying your saviors got the boot and another one of your heroes is getting raked over the coals for the same type of behavior.

Clearly society is wound so tight past level 11 when someone wanting to see a photo of someone's family, or someone else wanting to see a photo of someone else's family sends them off the deep end.

The more I think about this the stranger it gets.

I can’t even hand over my phone to my GF or best bud without an anxiety attack.

And no I won’t share what’s on it. Unless you ask nicely.
