Blue Jackets Scandal?

[Harbingers]

Well this snowballed insanely quickly today. While this may be all it is, the story had to come from somewhere. Spittin’ Chiclets obviously went way over the top. I think there is probably some merit though hidden away judging by CBJ’s going damage control this quick.

CBJ is going into damage control because the NHLPA has already launched an investigation.

Given the atmosphere of improper coaching relationships at the junior level over the past few years, I'm not surprised this is happening. On the other hand, I'm not sure an investigation is warranted based off a fugging podcast and its rumors.

Somewhat. Yes, they could have fabricated it for clicks but I’m not so sure. The CBJ’s statements clearly miss the point. Which is if he did ask for the phone, or even if he didn’t but then hooked it up to a tv via streaming with him in control… that’s not really that appropriate. That’s the crux here I think and CBJ didn’t address that part. It’s pretty clear it came from an agent of a player. Probably not Boone. Will be curious to see how this shakes their locker room though. Not that they were going to be much competition this year still… but.

And just to bring it all back around.

So why is Boone Jenner disputing the story? Isn't he a team captain?

That’s the million dollar question. 

But I don’t really take his statement as disputing, just framing it in another light. The issue is if he was taking and air playing photos to another device and skimming them himself. Even if there was nothing there or ill intent it’s still an invasion of privacy without consent.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Class traitor covering for the bosses like a good petit bourgeois toadie...?

[Harbingers]

And he’s out.

Guess there was some merit.

Here's what's really strange- most of the vets on the team were saying one thing and a lot of the younger guys were claiming something completely different.

This will certainly create some discord in the locker room going forward.

Don't forget that Kane and many of the other 'hawks stars vehemently defended the coaching staff there until the truth finally saw the light of day...

Some rumors out there that Babcock made some off handed comments about player's wives/girlfriends.  Also, he even asked some of them what they thought of his wife.

Dude is a little weird (actually a lot).
