The main reason for the pressor was damage control. For the GM and Davidson it’s probably about self preservation. They knew what they were hiring… good coach who uses methods that simply aren’t acceptable anymore…

at what point does the GM become accountable in /columbus?

It’s the NHL . You make it t on merit. With that said the Flyers need to do a better job with player development ( no poop eh!!). As far as the rookie games? Who cares… no system, no structure… let’s see how they do with big boys.

keep in mind the Flyers and LHV play different systems. Makes lot of sense.

I watched the 2nd game … and a little of the first… guys that hadn’t played with each other, scramble play… looked like my summer league ( 20 years ago).

Yes, it is how a phone works. It can be whatever one wants it to be.

How come Jenner, Gaudreau, Werenski and the GM Kekelainen saw no issue with what happened. The GM even stating that he thought the intention was genuine to get to know people better? Why didn't the GM say to Babcock, this is improper when he was asked and took part in the photo sharing with Babcock?

And you think that every player, had a family photo ready to go for review? Do you see how this could be an issue for someone who didn’t? Is it that hard to understand for you and the other guy?

Go listen to 32 thoughts. They are not going to make the player public, are you really this naive? Why would they out the player, do you see why they wouldn’t?

I wasn’t there, nor am I pretending I was. Did Babcock ask to see photos of the player’s families or did he snatch the phones out of their hands and start scrolling?

I think it is you that is naive. If someone loses their job over something, I need to know why. I need to know why before I condemn someone for something. If all Babcock did was ask to see some and share some family photos then I think it's an injustice that he lost his job because of it. If it's more, which I don't know it is, then that could change things. Again, the words of Jenner, Gaudreau, Werenski and the GM state that's all it was and they had no issue with it. The GM didn't have an issue until it was made public. That reeks.

If you can’t decipher this you just are not all that smart. If a head coach asked a young player to see their phone, do you think he’s going to say no? The player reached out and said he was uncomfortable with the situation

Based on what little knowledge I have. Which is the episode of Spittin Chiclets that broke the story first by a player from the organizations who text Paul Bissonnette, the Blue Jackets presser saying they’ll be parting ways with Babcock and a couple of web sites after the story was made public, nobody has given all the details of what was said and what was done.

Now, if I’m the Blue Jackets I’m holding a meeting with the players and I’m telling them that if anyone doesn’t come to an authority figure in the organization first, instead of running to a podcast, there will be repercussions. This is a stain on the blue jackets.

Why wouldn't he say no? Again, did Babcock say, let me see your phone. Or did he ask to exchange family pictures to get to know each other? The latter is what players on the record say it was. If all you can do is make insults like your first sentence then you are not all that smart.

I can’t decipher this, admittedly. I have questions, which I asked you directly. It sounds like you have answers, so let’s hear them. You already once again have taken a shot at my intelligence. Let’s hear from a smarter person. The floor is yours.

If you can’t see why a young player felt he had no other option but to say yes even if he was uncomfortable then you sir are a fool

You keep making dumb comments like that's not how a phone works. When albums of specific photos can be made and shared and that is exactly how a phone works. You have the ability to relate what was said on 32 thoughts. Maybe you can't and aren't able to use your brain. Your childish comments are not going to be effective.

Nobody knows the facts. They haven’t been made public.
