Bob Stauffer

to the Columbus Blue Jackets back in 2022, wanting an investigation.

A lot of you have some very strong opinions of that, of this whole scenario.

Now, it is interesting what's happened as the day has gone on here.

We're getting more texts saying, you know what?

Maybe the owners need to dig in here and stand in.

Others are like, Stauffer, you're a jerk.

You're not acknowledging past transcripts.

Nobody's saying for a second that Mike Babcock was perfect in any way, shape, or form.

And judging by some of the texts that are coming in, many of you are perfect and have never made any mistakes.

Yes, there's been issues with past players.

Has he been hard on players?

Absolutely.

Some would say he's gone far too far with certain players.

Remarkable that how many of you have the actual insight without

knowing or being there in the process of it all deliberating and taking place.

Now, I will say, I bet you if you asked Mike Babcock, he wished he would have handled the situation specific to Mitch Marner differently.

That may have been a mistake.

Okay?

I bet you if you asked him.

In fact, I bet you if you asked Mike Babcock, he'd tell you he's made more than one, two, three mistakes along the way.
