NHL 2021: I Pledge Allegiance to Gritty

[Kepler]

It’s been picked up pretty quick that Carter Hart and a few of the other players from Canada’s 2018 WJC team (the team under investigation) have gone dark on social media, setting accounts to private and deleting posts.

Reading between the lines on this, Jesus Christ, did these as-sholes Tailhook an entire junior high school or something?

The initial allegation was that one of players got a woman (20yo) drunk at a bar, took her back to his room, had sex with her, then opened the door and let four others assault her.

Well, they have the GOP nomination wrapped up, anyway.

Well, the bigger scandal was that Hockey Canada was using public funds to settle the lawsuit and a whole bunch of other ones that went back to 1989.

And this specific one still has an active police investigation going on.

Or as I've heard it called from my college days, "line change!"

Per the athletic , mike Babcock denies scrolling through players phones during off season meetings.

Paul bissonettee stands by his accusation. Says he asked to see photos to see what kind of person they were and shared photos on a tv screen in his office
Babcock says players got to choose which pics were shared
…

so glad someone gave Babcock another job

Ward is right. Babs may be back, swearing he's reformed, but he ought to be on a very short leash. He is certainly not in any position to be making unnecessarily intrusive demands to pry into every player's personal life outside of the rink. At least, not without any credible evidence of a problem concerning the team and franchise.

Babcock resigns lol

Good. I wouldn't trust that guy in a beer league team.

[Drew S.]

I don’t understand the Babcock story at all. Did he make the players hand over their phones to him or just have them show random photos to him? I wouldn’t have any issue with people
seeing the photos on my phone but I don’t do anything dodgy. Seems like a storm in a tea cup to me.

[Deutsche Gopher Fan]

No one should have to let their boss see their personal phone you twatwaffle

Babcock resigns lol

But Biz and Whit were just making it up for clicks!

(Yes, that is what plenty of hockey media people said)

If my boss told me he wanted to see my cellphone and I had to unlock it for him, even if I was in control, I would tell him to F--- OFF!

Yes, Drew, you're a boot licker. What else is new?

Commodore felt pretty vindicated, too.
