Not very surprising the things we’re hearing about Babcock. Apple doesn’t fall far from the Tree, same sort of deal with his protege in YYC. Dropped the N bomb several times towards me in the dressing room in my rookie year because he didn’t like my choice of music. First one to admit I rebelled against him. Wouldn’t you? And instead of remedying the situation, he wrote a letter to John McDonough and Stan Bowman to have me sent down to the ECHL. 20 year old on pace for 20 goals in his first pro year with zero PP/PK time was off to a great start in his Pro career.
Well this never-heard-of-him 30-year-old career minor-leaguer has set off a shitstorm on social media this evening.
The guy he is accusing of using the N-word towards him
10 years ago is Bill Peters, present head coach of the Flames.
The alleged incident(s) occurred allegedly in the dressing room of the 2009-10 Rockford IceHogs (allegedly).
He posted this during the 3rd period of the Flames game in Pittsburgh tonight.
Social Justice Warriors are screaming for Peters' head... based upon this tweet!
Peters was not made available to the press following the game and Flames GM Treliving said this about that:

Treliving used the phrase "you people" twice in that 55-second clip!
Forget Peters... FIRE TRELIVING!!!
Wait... his first 2 sentences... is Alui making this out to be more of a rookie-abuse thing that a racist thing?
