Paul Bissonnette explains why the resignation of Mike Babcock isn't part of cancel culture
BY JOSH SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 (11:30)
Days later after the NHLPA became involved it was revealed that Babcock's intensions weren't as pure as he wanted people to believe. Instead it was reported there was a situation outside of the team's facilities where Babcock spent multiple minutes going through a young players device. This was enough to lead to Babcock's eventual resignation.
Today Biznasty and the boys took some time to address this situation and explain why this wasn't just a matter of cancel culture at its finest.
Never did I call for Babcock to get fired on the last podcast. I didn't give a flying f*** if he stuck around. Babcock's future didn't lie in my hands. It lied in the hands of the younger players, in which he did even worse s*** to, which didn't come out and that still had been under wraps. Probably because they want to protect these guys, when what they should be doing is focusing on hockey.
My biggest ask here moving forward is any media member that steps around the team. Don't ask them about this anymore. Leave these f***ing players alone. This happened before training camp. The right guy is in the position now, in Pascal Vincent.
If you're thinking, 'oh this is cancel culture'.
NO! This is a guy who has been known to do this s***, doing the exact same s*** after going away for four years. Who just didn't learn his lesson."

Hopefully the media takes Biz's advice and leaves these players alone, but that seems very unlikely.
