Begnals 0-2 with burrow injured and yet the eagles at 2-0 should be worried

He was talking about putting the pics up on a big screen.

Babcock is a psychopath. I bet the guy honestly thought he was trying to connect with his players, and in his twisted mind this was the way to do it.


Based on his history I dont see how any player could ever trust him as a human being, let alone as a coach.

He has always played on fear. I guess his career is done for good.

Pretty nice of him to resign. Made things real easy for CBJ management. Wonder if he gets some kind of payout?

The Jets are still supposed to have a great defense. The problem is that Dallas can just wear you down on both sides of the ball.

I was one.

After they called Michkov a "piece of poop".......I kinda lost my perspective.

It would have made sense for Babcock to run that by a trusted friend before the ask. Maybe he asked Vincent and he said to go ahead.

Comical to see complaints that Frost is taking too long when last season was Frost's first full NHL season at age 23.

Flyer-for-life Scott Laughton had 20 points his his 23 year old season.

- Feanor

I wish I could catch these posts as they are posted. So the best argument that could be made for Morgan Frost is Scott Laughton? Laughton comes from a thin draft and was always expected to be a bottom six forward. Morgan Frost prior to this season had 16 points in 55 games with a more talented team. For months all I’ve heard is bellyaching of how Torts keeps playing Frost with scabs, just for Frost to have his best season of his career. So what about these selective arguments make sense? Nobody is giving up on Frost but if Frost doesn’t produce offensively, he doesn’t have very many special traits. Travis Konency is exactly 2 years older than Frost and heading into his 8th season as a Flyer.

Right! Ask the Bills how easy it was to beat the Rodgerless Jets.

Kind of funny the one guy on here LOLed at my suggestion that there was more to this cause Jenner downplayed the issue. Like the captain was just gonna come out and throw the new coach under the bus. Babs won't work in the NHL again. His chances are up. He just doesn't get that his methods do not work in today's world.

And the Jets D was highly touted (by some Jets fans 🙂) before the season. But the score could easily be 50-10. But we have seen dominate Cowboys teams before in the regular season, laying an egg in the postseason.

I went to see the Flyers play in Columbus. The guy who lets the players into the players parking area saw me hanging around waiting for the the doors open and we started talking hockey. Naturally Jeff Carter came up. This was Vinny’s first season and Hartnell’s last with the Flyers, so not that long after the Carter/Richards trades. That guy was telling me “that Carter kid, he was into women, men, he was after everyone!”

Hahaha, wouldn’t surprise me. He scored 431 goals in his career, maybe it helped?

They're put in a no-win situation. Consent and their privacy gets invaded, possibly providing ammo for Babs to use against them later. Say no and they put a massive target on their backs with a coach that's infamous for executing personal vendettas. Most players would choose just about anything over professional suicide so they hand the phones over.

It looks like Babs got outmaneuvered here. Someone was smart enough to know that Biz was the tool to expose Babs.
