No he didn't. Babcock is a bully, he doesn't target established guys, he goes after young players and older guys towards the end of their careers. He feels more powerful as he can affect them more. Gaudreau got himself a fat contract, Babcock couldn't f with him. Jenner is the captain and the NHLPA Rep for the Jackets. Babcock, the bully that he is knows that and with Gaudreau and Jenner, he probably came off like a decent human being having to fake it I'm sure.

Even listen to the Jay Rosehill podcast,he talked to people at University of Saskatchewan while babs was head coach.

Babcock seems to have an issue understanding the difference between public and private matters. Its ironic that he is now exposed by a player making a private team matter public. Its his own flaw being used against him.

Asking to see photos of a family is at worst a misdemeanour, in fact, you knew the person had a "family" and they were happy to share with you. Where it gets bad is when a player might be uncomfortable sharing. For example, what if a player was gay and keeping it a secret? I'm sure he doesn't want to scroll through his phone with a guy he just met/hockey coach. That's probably not his first choice for baring his soul. The guys that decline in the eyes of Babcock then could be "hiding something", "not living right" or "not good family men" (those are his go-to lines). They then could draw his ire and go into his doghouse. In any event, it tells me that he believes his values are the ones everyone should have (ego) and hasn't grasped that things are different in 2023. I don't know that he will/should be fired. But his tactics for handling people are clearly off the mark. Frankie Corrado seems like a really nice dude and he says that there's no doubt Babcock is a great hockey coach, but his methods for dealing with human beings are lacking.
