Columbus Blue Jackets coach Mike Babcock found himself in an unexpected firestorm this week for a photo-sharing exercise that some reportedly felt was an invasion of privacy.
SAN JOSE – When he first started with the Toronto Maple Leafs six years ago, Patrick Marleau said then-coach Mike Babcock asked him and other members of the team to share some of the photos they had on their phones to help him get to know everyone on a more personal level.
On the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast this week, co-host and former NHLer Paul Bissonnette said an unidentified player told him that Babcock, 60, had asked Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner to show him the photos he has on his phone. In that same statement, Jenner, 30, said he and Babcock sat down earlier in the summer to get to know each other, and the Stanley Cup-winning coach asked the veteran forward if he had pictures of his family, which Jenner said he was eager to share. Babcock, officially hired by the Blue Jackets on July 1 after a nearly four-year absence from the NHL, also showed Jenner pictures of his own family.
“So I think, what I’m assuming, not knowing more than what everybody else does, that that’s exactly what was doing there again,” Marleau said.
