Major update into the investigation of Mike Babcock

Earlier this week allegations broke against Mike Babcock. According to the crew of the Spittin' Chiclets Podcast, Babcock had been forcing players to show him what was on their phone and then casting it to a monitor in his office. Since the allegations arose both Babcock and Blue Jackets' captain Boone Jenner, have both denied the allegations.

Instead Babcock and Jenner have shared this is just a learning exercise. Babcock claimed this was a learning tool he uses to get to know his players. That explanation didn't go over well with some people. Now according to sources the NHLPA is also unhappy with this answer.

Today reports surfaced that both Marty Walsh and Ron Hainsey of the NHLPA have physically traveled to Columbus, likely a bad sign for Babcock. Katie Strang of ESPN provided the following update:



It is likely this investigation is far from over and if information surfaces against Babcock it's very possible this could be the end of his coaching career.
