Of course they did, in the almost 30 years CBJ has been in the league their most successful years came while being coached by a coach like Babcock. CBJ is a team that makes a lot of mental mistakes and has a player like Laine who coaches in the past have had problems controlling, a coach like Babcock is exactly what that team needed. I have a feeling players didn't want a hard coach so they overexagerated this whole thing trying to get rid of him
Everyone in the NHL knows Babcock is a piece of crap. Bad hire by Jarmo, and JD. Terrible job. Both of these guys should be shown the door too. Jenner should be stripped of his C. He doesn't deserve it. It would be even better if they traded him. I'm sure Arizona has the cap space to take him.
@@SirManflybecause CBJ is a team that needs a coach that holds players accountable for their selfish play. The most success CBJ has ever had in almost 30 years of existence came while being coached by a very hard coach. Babcock also has a cup, 5 gold medals, 2 of them were Olympic gold, he's the only coach in NHL history part of the triple gold club, and if I remember correctly he even has a Jack Adams. Babcock is a very successful coach with a lot of hardware. Who cares if Columbus hired a coach that makes his players earn their millions. To bad CBJ players are such divas
Thats irrelevant. Those are private possessions and no one has the right to ask to see someones private matters. There is zero gain a hockey team can get from looking at anyones private photos. And trust me I am a right wing conservative but this was ridiculous.
@@RippinRooster unless those photos become a distraction. So far it sounds like it was a few players not all of his players. If your a coach and your trying to talk to your team and you have the same players staring at their phones instead of listening to you, the coach has a right to ask, remember these players are being paid millions to play hockey not to stare at a phone. More may come out later.
@@lylarose2696 exactly they are paid millions of dollars to PLAY HOCKEY. They are not under contractual issue to share private photos off of their phones. No one said they were staring at their phones distracted.
It was the younger players that made it an issue. Guys like Adam Fantilli, they probably felt like if they declined, they automatically got sent down or something. Thats according to Elliotte Friedman
You are more than slightly off.... Bettman has proved he is the best Commish of all the major sports. You must one of those clowns who boo him when he makes an appearance...... get a clue
Babcock ruins talented players. He's done it since Detroit
Dozens of candidates to choose from and they chose that guy. And still got it wrong.

I wonder how much money they had to pay Babs to resign
Jarmo and John should likewise fall in the sword too. They are ultimately responsible.
Exactly. What POS

Maybe don’t hire a Dinosaur from the past. I mean, who’s next on your radar, Marc Crawford???🙄
Mike Keenan and Hannibal Lector I'd bet.
I can't believe this brain trust would hire a person like Mike Babcock. Shocking.
Ya I was surprised that they did and wondered why? 🙄🤷🏻♂️

When you consider what deluded POS they really are, it's no surprise at all.
Columbus : "Behold, the worst managed sports franchise in the world"
Vancouver Canucks : "Hold my beer"
No, no, no, no...... Montreal Canadiens: „Hold my Beer...“
No no no maple laughs hold my beer🍺
What is on Bab's phone?
Asking for a friend.
What pictures do the players have on their phone they don’t want anyone to see?

soft
Is this a sports team or a political organization? Promoting pride/pedophilia destroyed my interest in the sport.
Never ever thought John Davidson was bright.....
Gary bettman is a discrace to the league.
You are more than slightly off.... Bettman has proved he is the best Commish of all the major sports. You must one of those clowns who boo him when he makes an appearance...... get a clue
Bettman had nothing to do with this hiring!!!
The guy on the leftof the thumbnail looks like Todd Howard but with extra jaw
Pansies
He was just trying to bond and nothing was shown he did was harmful with the info.
It's an invasion of privacy, nothing more, nothing less.
Perhaps they should hire a WOMAN?
Bruce Jenner?
