Sounds like Leaf Drama. Babcock was outcoached, I know, the players know. He should know by now unless his ego has created it's own universe.

Think you nailed it, he's exactly that.

Ummm... Did he say anything that actually means anything?

 

[Peiskos]

Don Cherry is right, Babcock is getting ridiculous with the sheltering Matthews crap. Don mentioned Matthews only played 15 minutes some games when he should have been getting 20+ if I was Matthews and I knew my caliber and what I was capable of I'd be pissed off at the playing time.

He treally analyzed that thang through out and his opinion was that it was a "bad bad move". He also talked about matthews being a 20 year old kid and they should have talked it out during the golf thang or something else like in the kitchen and not like that there. He was truly against this type of a thang. Y'all should have seen that conference of Cherry tonight. He was really on tonight again.

Yes sir he also talked about that thang of matthews only playing 15 min and that not being the correct thang to do. He also wanted matthews playing 22 min as to his philosofy every great key player on C should do that thang during that 22 min spin. Every playoff game.

It was already reported earlier today that Babcock had this trip planned with his family a while ago, and he's going to take advantage and meet with Matthews while he's there to touch base.

I think this whole thing is being blown way out of proportion.

Is that what the MLSE PR dept. Is feeding us this week Clarky?

 

[Mikeyg]

This egocock loser is totally the wrong coach for us at this current time. 34 needs to get on the ice, this 16 mins and under shit is a joke. Slam your top guys on the ice and dominate the game. Screw this try not to lose good pro saskatoon shit

It is not blown out of proportion at all but a real concern. Let’s hope Mathews parents can stay out of this as that is the real issue here. Look at Babcock interview after this came out and it tells you his Mom is way to involved.

Babs met with Mathews at season end exit meetings and nothing was said. Then he goes home and all this starts up.

People dismissed what was said by two hockey media people and yet they have been bang on. Babcock is going to Arizona to see the Mathews. This is no family trip at all.

I hate the off season

Since when is hate stating facts?

 

[TakeTheBody]

This is sports today. You better pamper the best player on your team. Especially when he's going to be the face of franchise for years to come. Do I like it? Not really. Just the world we live in.

Well, for what it's worth, it was reported on TSN Overdrive.

Even if Babs did decide to fly out there just to meet with Matthews, I don't see anything wrong with it. If there is the slightest chance that there was a rift developing, it's better to nip it in the bud so that they're on the same page going into training camp.

Does anyone know what this means?

Fascinating insight.

It's a nothing burger anyways. Players get pissed at coaches all the time. Sometimes it happens after a coach has a lousy series and Babcock did, who cares. I just hope Babs investigates his failure and adapts some going forward.

Media loves to talk about, anything here.

If that's the case, then it's a necessary move by Babs, and it's better that he deal with it now as opposed to letting the situation fester all summer.

In all honesty how can you say that Babcock going to Arizona is no family trip. You legit have no clue what his family has planned to do on their spare time

 

[Muston Atthews]

Babcock knows that the only person who can cost him his job is the Matt Daddy

This started right after we got eliminated, in fact both Auston and Babcock were asked about a possible rift on locker clean out day. This didn’t just pop up when Matts went home

BS National Enquirer crap, stirred up by a self promoter.... (which really is his job, so not a knock, just reality)
