All Babcock had to do was hold a casual get-together at his house for his players and their families. But no, show me your camera roll. So ridiculous.

[@steve8803]

@Nelbroth not a single player felt that the interaction was inappropriate. Not one. And they were actually there, Biz wasn't! Babs decided to step aside because he knows there is a witch hunt against him personally, and it's not fair that the players have to deal with the distraction. Tabloids have more integrity than that lying POS Biz.

What's ridiculous is that they handed him there phones then cried about it afterwards. These players are whiney crybabies. Grow a backbone and say no. It's not that hard

[@mattjones4246]

shiiiiiiit, Chiclets making real waves in League today. The conversational/locker-room talk style of this pod may lead to some negativity. Granted. But the arguments aren't wrong. I think that the Chiclets boys are trying to share the real takes, but as always, also have a little levity and some humour in their delivery. That needs to be seriously considered here. Clearly Babcock isn't without controversy, and he is a very polarizing coach. But now he's resigned. Even if you had a squeaky clean record and you don't have this long resume of how you speak to players, bullying allegations and have sus tactics, its not surprising he's out. It may not be the media-trained, best delivery of the story, but the boys are outlining a real issue where a dinosaur coach isn't suited to coach in 2023 NHL. But Tuesdays ep is gonna be joooookes
