was it just family pics or all pics?

Some players may not want to share or have that type of relationship with a coach.

Would you share all your pics?
- hello it's me 2050

Sure, it’s 75% accidental screenshots anyway.

I cant remember when last the Buzz was down for that long. I hope EK was upgrading the TRS-80 he uses to host this site.

How long was the site down? I only noticed about 9am this morning.

I think they say it in a way without sounding like its an accusation of anything.

Like yeah, he showed me his family pics and i showed him mine.
- WhiskeyMan

Agreed

First of all is it really coming out against the coach? He's just trying to make a personal connection with his players. Some may like, some may not. Is it really a big deal? A player says the coach asked to see some family pictures. The horrors!

how did Babcock do with the toronto club?

Family pics must be code for penis. As in the half of his last name.

It was the way Chiklets portrayed it is the issue. Jenner said it was not a big deal. But someone in the locker room or in the organization reported it as a something nefarious and Chiklets ran with it.

each is there own, but def an odd request imo. Me I want to keep it on a hockey level relationship.
- hello it's me 2050

Yes, definitely odd. I get the feeling a sociopath like Babcock would see this as a way to seem like he has mellowed and is trying to connect with his players on a personal level. Except he has no idea how to do it.

Since around 9pm last night.

Seems like it. Those Chicklets guys like to throw bombs. I feel like they did the same thing when they called Michkov a POS.

I think people’s level of offense to this might be proportional to the amount of embarrassing pictures they have in their phone.

not sure what his end game is on that request.

think next vacation will be to Puerto Rico though. always wanted to go there for some reason
- hello it's me 2050

Spent some time there after my dad got me out of a tight spot gambling in Havana. Sounds like Cavalcante could have also used some attorneys, firearms, and pesos.

? What does that have to do with toronto

Where exactly did I state this was a big deal? My only comment was that the players, even if they were uncomfortable, are not going to start a media sh!t storm right before a season. I don’t think it was a big deal.
- ClaudeFather

Do you have to state it's a big deal in order for me to ask you if it is?

Again, you are not going to get players coming out publicly against a coach right before a season for something minor like this. Not worth the headache
- ClaudeFather

Why would players come out against a coach for something minor? I find it unusual but also find it a non-story.

- Peter Richards

Not sure how that relates to this issue.

Babcock. Simple

It’s clearly a story and could be much worse if players were voicing against this. Jenner interviewed on it, gaurdreau asked on 32 thoughts, the league getting involved.

Lol very simple, it’s why this thing has legs at all

Okay.

I'm clearly saying it should be in my opinion, a non-story. How is the league getting involved?

Sorry, NHLPA conducting an investigation. Whether it should be or not, it’s a story

Exactly. See commodore

Exactly. See commodore
- Peter Richards

Exactly?


You asked me how Babcock did with Toronto. His coaching performance there has nothing to do with this. You are inaccurate in stating exactly. Now if you had brought up the Commodore situation and been at least somewhat specific instead of being vague and off context. Then it would've made some sense.

It’s all due to the history of the coach. Lmao. Dots are easy to connect.
