I witness Fleury make a similar save for the Screaming Eagles against the Mooseheads. The whole Metro Centre were on their feet thinking the Moose scored. Then... We seen the replay. Hes been my favourite goalie since that day.
Source? I believe you, I'm just curious to see it for myself because I know Flower and he's the most adorable, hilarious, and wholesome goaltender in hockey. 😅
since returning, the SDP has spent three episodes on shitting your pants, and three episodes on the babcock/columbus debacle, by my count, that's six episodes on shitting your pants.
to answer steve’s question around the 4:50 mark: looking through a phone can be a fireable offense in the u.s. as an invasion of employee privacy from a legal standpoint
If we go back to the Kyle Beech story, it was this podcast that kept that story from being squelched by the NHL. The NHL had previously always been able to freeze reporters out. Now we have the Babcock story in Columbus being broken by a podcast. The old way of keeping control of players and the media which enabled abuse is over.
It was the SDPN podcast that kept the Kyle Beech story from being squelched by the NHL? Sorry but no. It was Rick Westhead's work that kept that afloat and I'm sure even these guys would agree. Rick was on the show once and SDPN talked about the case, but the Kyle Beach story would 100% still have come out if SDPN didn't exist.
@@misschrysalis If you would take the time to remember correctly, the story was broken first by a radio station in Chicago. Westhead and Katie Strang then ran with it. But it wasn't being picked up by Sportsnet or TSN or other mainstream media. If you want a lesson in why that was, look at the way Bettman tried to freeze out Rick Westhead in the first press conference. The NHL, and Teams have controlled the media by doing such things in the past. They can't any longer. Would it have become as big a story resulting in the resignations/suspensions without the story being driven on podcasts? I guess the answer lies in how much you believe in the integrity of conventional reporters who are open to reprisal from owners/NHL. Evidence suggests not.
Babcock is just so weird. Imagine meeting someone for the first time and saying "show me the pictures on your phone, I want to know you better." Asking to see someone's pictures is such an invasion of privacy. Even if Babock's intentions weren't malicious he just has no idea how to interact with people.
Its a narcisstic coach that used sn old school tactic to intimidate and establish his dominance over as many players as he could. Babcock will not hesitate to ruin a young players life and career if it will benefit him.
@darkwillis416 does that kinda explain the old detriot practice of prospects playing in grand rapids until their mid 20s? They were always praised for their patients this kinda shines a new light on it
For what it’s worth, you guys did an excellent job breaking this down in a comprehensive way and weren’t scared of talking candidly but staying professional. Great job guys! This was awesome
Good reporting on this fellas. 20 year CBJ fan was not thrilled about this hire. An Adams point about upper managment is spot on. I think Boone is the Union rep for CBJ, so thats sad, an both entities ( league, union) should be better.
RE: Rangers fans not drinking in MSG. I’ve never been to a game/event where I saw so many people sneak booze in. I saw a bunch of old guys in the row in front of me whip out a full bottle of scotch and crush it during a NYR/PHI game
This is actually a HR issue in the workplace and this very case is used when training is against harrassment and privacy. I've just done the anual training in my company.
There are so many stories from players about Torts being as genuine and straight as anyone they’ve ever met. And that’s the thing - he’s left a ton of guys behind him who will run through brick walls for him; as hard as he was on them, they’ll still do it. Babcock doesn’t have a one.
What really concerns me is Babcock spent a year at the University of Saskatchewan. Who knows what happened there, or why he “resigned” after a single season. I’m sure a University would NEVER cover something up…
2 things: 1:17:35 Steve's instant flip from "oh yeah Bedard will absolutely score 40 goals" to sheer horror at seeing the current 'Hawks d-corp had me rolling. Also, the problem with the CBJ rookie uniforms were those god-awful red pants. For the love of the Hockey Gods shove those damned red pants in the same broom closet they buried Boomer and stick to the blue shorts everyone likes better.
Boy - that question about due diligence to Jarmo was certainly uncomfortable with Babcock sitting right there! Feel bad for the Jackets organization - but I thought that was a ridiculously bad hire right from the get-go, and unfortunately was proven correct. And this is a GREAT podcast guys. I don't always agree with your takes - but this situation is the exact test case for the weaknesses of the "old-school hockey brotherhood", and you laid out the situation perfectly.
as an English professor who reads and grades rhetorical analysis essays and scholarly research essays for a living, that initial press conference was a load of bullllllshit 😂
Initial shot was off the crossbar went straight to Petan. One of Vegas D lost their stick letting a rocket shot to be possible that Fleury had to step way out to stop.
We should be happy if Bedard gets 60 points, people need to chill on the kid. The team around him is horrible, and every opponent is going to target him as he's the only real threat basically. He'll be great (60 points as a rookie on that team is fantastic), but expectations need to be tempered. If I'm wrong about this, I'll be a happy fella.
The Jackets dressing room right now has got to be a tomb. Their captain, who is supposed to represent the interests of the players to management and coaching staff, just came out 100% in favour of their coach and it took an NHLPA investigation to get younger player(s) to feel comfortable coming forward. More experienced players and bubble players clearly had different takes on this experience. But the fact that Jenner and other senior players didn't get the other perspective is a problem for their leadership.
@@dwaynedonnelly it's a question of power dynamics. Coaches can (and did) end a player's career because of how their interactions go. So a young player who is not comfortable sharing that info with their coach is under tremendous pressure to do it or be cut loose. The role of the Captain includes representing those young players. So Jenner doesn't have to change his opinion to be like theirs, but he is obligated to stand up for them. If he didn't take the time to find out, and only went on his perception of those interactions when he made his statement in Babcock's defence, that's a problem.
Franzen was such a talented player in Detroit whose career ended too early and it’s terrible how Babcock treated him while he was here. Loved watching him play when we he was a wing.
1:17:00 ... Chicago sucking could help Bedard, as he will be their ONLY real offensive option, so he will start every power play. He will be on the ice during every offensive faceoff. He will start every OT.
And if they draft high enough he could get his Malkin/Draisaitl/Marner. Obviously all those second bananas got drafted the year before so had a head start on the phenom, but even having a 19 year old Marner type player going into his 3rd season would be a big asset for Bedard.
Foggy was the decision making to hire Babcock in the first place. It seemed kind of crazy after they made some big moves to improve their team. Except maybe a broadcaster suit playing it safe, I don't think there was a single hockey person who thought that hiring made any sense. The new head of the NHLPA probably told the Columbus management that they would haunt their team for the rest of Babcock's days as coach there. I hope everyone gives Pascal Vincent a fair shake. He's an award winning coach throughout his career and looks like the guy that should have been hired in the first place. A lot of teams would be lucky to have him behind their bench.
Do these people arguing against the Babcock situation not know that it requires a search warrant for the police to check your phone? And Babcock, a person with agency over the people he's requesting this of, is going to view anyone who says no negatively?
I think the argument is that refusing could create a reputation of being difficult and could negatively impact your career especially when someone has a reputation of vindictive/cruel treatment like Babcock. I think it’s fair to ask if Babcock had good intentions why didn’t he reach out before hand to request the family photos or whatever were submitted
@@Deans-jm3uffair point. If his intention was to get to know the players better, why not ask (with the providing them with the understanding that they have a right to refuse) to send (as in, not look through their phones like a crazy person) pictures that the players felt represented themselves (as in, they get to pick a few themselves, not a whole photo reel). The choices of approach are just baffling. You'd think he would've learned at this point
As a Devils fan I can confirm that Adam is correct that you pre drink games. When I'm going to a game my friends and I usually have a couple beers on the train up to the arena and then there's an area right across the street from the arena with a bunch of great bars where you can have a few more drinks before you go in. So I end up buying one maybe two beers in the actual Arena. This is the way.
One thing to note is maybe the size of the drinks at the games in the different arenas. Haven’t been to many games but I got out to a Devils game and the beers there are HUGE. Probably could count for 3 beers everywhere else. So I feel like maybe that plays a part in New Jersey being so low on the list.
As a Ducks fan Babcock will always be admired by Anaheim fans for taking the hated dirty Devils to the maximum 7th game to just come up a bit short. An epic final with the return of Paul Kariya despite the efforts of Scott Stevens to eliminate him from the series.
Former Cape Breton Screaming Eagles goalie, Marc Andre Fleury, was the goalie responsible of ending Babcocks career. Then before he resumed his coaching career, he gets canned. The man replacing him is Former Cape Breton Screaming Eagles Coach, Pascal Vincent !! Cape Breton 2 Babcock 0
1:31:28 first of all Daneyko doesn't pronounced Jesper Bratt's name like that. Nobody in New Jersey does. It's literally just you guys. I want Steve to do that impression to Dano's face. He's a great guy he'll probably laugh.
I think the initial shot from Mikhayev went off the crossbar and fleury didn't know where the puck went. Then dove across saving the backhand from Petan. Completely robbed
Speaking of research….. science 101 : Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek out and prefer information that supports our preexisting beliefs. As a result, we tend to ignore any information that contradicts those beliefs.
On the Fleury save, the reason he's so far out of position is because he's at the top of the crease facing a shot from ~blue line from Mikhayev, which is the correct play because it takes away the angle and works because the shot hits the crossbar. Unfortunately for Fleury and fortunately for the Leafs, the rebound off the crossbar lands on Pitan's stick, but the initial play definitely isn't a "if you're a goaltender tend the goal" moment.
I don’t think Babcock is going to get paid for the 2 years since he resigned. If you’re fired then u still get paid but resign? Wouldn’t every coach resign right after they sign their contract so they can get paid and chill at home?
Mike Babcock's tenure was longer than Wally Backman's tenure as Arizona Diamondbacks Manager and as memorable as Carlos Beltran's tenure as Manager of the New York Mets.
I remember how refreshing it was when Kekkelainen was introduced and he was like "stats are facts" and then patrik laine showed up and he made it the point of his existence to sign the best current finnish goalscorer.
Someone in Winnipeg ruined Laine. If it wasn't Maurice, then probably Maurice failed to protect him from Wheeler. This is someone who missed 9 games due to injury as a rookie and still had 80 goals by his 20th birthday. I don't know if another player in history has done that. (Obviously having a late birthday is a must, but still.)
Based on what we know so far seems 2 have been blown out of proportion because it's babcock, that said given his history my mind is blown he thought this was gd idea
I'm so glad you guys brought up how much Boone got fucked over in all this, it sucks seeing a good man get his name dragged through the mud because the FO is run by cowards.
Fun fact. Babcock is tied for 2nd in Blue Jackets head coaches for playoff series wins for the organization.
That’s just evil man hahahah
Didn't he have as many series win as in Toronto?
😏
Technically all of us are too lol
@@Tek3333No we're not.
Man, Babcock has learned a really easy way to make money not actually coaching, lemme tell you.
I believe because he resigned they don’t have to pay him. That’s what I’ve read at least.
they cut a deal, no way they keep $millions for asking to see phones no matter how weird he got, he got paid@@hannahflinkert9901
"this dude says 'family' more than Dominic Toretto" - far out i nearly spit-take my coffee with that one 🤣
Was this the NHL record for shortest tenue for an NHL coach with a single team? 🤔
I don’t know, but he’s probably the only coach to be undefeated with one team.
Yes it was
Surely there's a day-long tenure or 2 somewhere?
Well, if you count games coached it's at the very least a tie...
He’s the William Henry Harrison of coaches
I'm hoping that any team thinking about Bowman/Quenneville, after their little "what I learned" slideshow for the league, considers this.
BROOOO he didn’t even make it to training camp😭😭😂😂😂
0:54 Steve "it doesn't even read like Mike Babcock..." Adam: "yeah, it doesn't say anybody's got a good family, or whatever..." 😂🤣😂🤣
so good!
I witness Fleury make a similar save for the Screaming Eagles against the Mooseheads. The whole Metro Centre were on their feet thinking the Moose scored. Then... We seen the replay. Hes been my favourite goalie since that day.
The only good thing about living in Sydney was going to each game back when he played for, us man he was great
Of all the guys to hand Babcock the final L, feels so appropriate it's a guy as well loved and respected as Flower. Love that picture.
Source? I believe you, I'm just curious to see it for myself because I know Flower and he's the most adorable, hilarious, and wholesome goaltender in hockey. 😅
@@TheEDFLegacy it's near the beginning of the video, he robs a Leafs goal so hard that Babcock gets fired. So the literal last L
@@TheFusionmix Oh. 😂 I love it.
They hired Babcock hoping he wouldn't be Babcock but he was Babcock.
since returning, the SDP has spent three episodes on shitting your pants, and three episodes on the babcock/columbus debacle, by my count, that's six episodes on shitting your pants.
I don't know why the Daneyko impersonation became a running bit, but it makes me giggle every time.
It probably has something to do with Steve really disliking NJ as it is already (on a subconscious level) 😅 it's a good impression, though.
At 18:00, Steve nails it: it starts with this. Then he starts invading other areas of their privacy because it's just another step.
The Ken Danekyo bit kills me every time!

Underrated comment. A+
I have a feeling offensive players like Gaudreau and Laine just breathed a sigh of relief anyway
THIS.
Yeah for real
I cant believe the Leafs made this guy the richest coach in NHL history.
Thing is at the time Babcock was pretty much equivalent to a highly touted free agent. Lot of teams competed for him that summer
Easy to say hindsight. At the time he was very much respected
This episode should have been titled, "Babcock's out for Harambe".
Babcock is just so weird. Imagine meeting someone for the first time and saying "show me the pictures on your phone, I want to know you better."

It's a fireable offense in this instant because it is Mike Babcock. This isn't his first offence, it's like his 6th.
As a lifelong Devils fan, it always puts a smile on my face anytime you guys are able to get Daneyko on the show 😂
For what it’s worth, you guys did an excellent job breaking this down in a comprehensive way and weren’t scared of talking candidly but staying professional. Great job guys! This was awesome
Did we watch the same 3 episodes on it? Lol
Jenner is still the captain. He needs to grow a set and stand up for the rookies. Everyone knows what Babcock can do to young players.
Babcock makes Tortorella look like a normal guy
Good reporting on this fellas. 20 year CBJ fan was not thrilled about this hire. An Adams point about upper managment is spot on. I think Boone is the Union rep for CBJ, so thats sad, an both entities ( league, union) should be better.

Yes but as we all know, HR is there to protect the company not the employee, ever. That is why having a strong union is important.
This was excellent journalism: thanks for going through the complete rundown on Babs.
For the 21 years I've watched hockey. I've always been stunned that the Yotes are the team everyone rags on when the Blue Jackets are right there.
Its finally time for consistent podcasts again lets go 👏
Marc-Andre Fleury.......that's a Hat Pick!
I think people respect Torts because he doesnt pull garbage like Babcock did, which while a low bar to climb, he still walked over it
There are so many stories from players about Torts being as genuine and straight as anyone they’ve ever met. And that’s the thing - he’s left a ton of guys behind him who will run through brick walls for him; as hard as he was on them, they’ll still do it. Babcock doesn’t have a one.
He went out faster than Urban Meyer
