Considering eveything’s that’s emerged with Babcock since he was fired, I’ve defiinitely had to make a substantial reassessment of him. Yeah Peters can go take a hike too. Wonder if this’ll set off a #PlayersToo movement. (Not meant to sound flippant, btw - am genuinely curious if other players might come out with something, say, cray about Torts, or Mike Yeo…) (heard somewhere that Mark Crawford and Bob Hartley used to be the nastiest) ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > Seriously? That’s fucked up – how petty can you get? yeah. I realize that coaching pro athletes means you sometimes have to be harsh and hard-headed (which can make you come off as a dick) but some of this Babcock shit is beyond the pale. Trying to pit your own players against each other can only be counterproductive. ---

What is going on with Murray? I hope it’s just a sucky phase – Fleury had one or two during his time here. Otherwise, it looks like we might have kept the wrong goalie. ☹ ---

Or maybe I kept the wrong team, giving up four unanswered goals in the third to the Pens last night. ---

Totally irrelevant, btw, mentioning the Pens, when it’s _any_ team the Canucks shouldn’t lose to, in such a way. I concur sadly when dingbat Sid Sixeiro said today that they will not make the play-offs. Yeah it’s early to say that, but to lose like that says they’re patently not ‘there’ to make it happen. No excuse for that crapola. ---

When I said he wouldn’t be coaching when the calendar changed, I meant from 2019 to 2020 not November to December…But there was no chance he was going to coaching long, especially after he admitted the slur. ---

…and, like, _three hours_ before puck drop tonight. I’ll bet PK’s thinking: What the hell did I sign myself up for, here? Teams should be keeping their eye on Taylor Hall now. ---

> [@Ike\_Witt](#): > > Stars just fired Jim Montgomery for unprofessional conduct. No other details are known. Yeah, very strange. We were only told that it didn’t involve a former or current player or any Stars employee. The behavior supposedly came to light Sunday and Montgomery was fired today. The mind boggles. On the other hand, we played well tonight. ---
