While meeting with Babs he asked me about my family and where I'm from, my upcoming wedding and hockey-related stuff. He then asked if I had pictures of my family and I was happy to share some with him. He showed me pictures of his family. I thought it was a great first meeting and good way for us to start to build a relationship. To have this blown out of proportion is truly disappointing.

Tell Babs to knock off the bulls*it. Enough with putting guys on the spot in the coaches room asking them to link their phones up to airplay mode and grilling them. I've had tons of players confirm it. Smarten the f*ck up Babs. Shove your statement up his ass.

We followed up with the club, and I know the Players' Association has followed up directly with the players.

What was being reported by Paul Bissonette -- or at least his characterizations of what transpired -- isn't consistent with what the players are reporting to the Players' Association, including that none of them felt that the interactions were at all inappropriate or improper.

At this point in time, that's what we know.
