Mathieu Olivier met Mike Babcock several times. Nothing unusual happened, everything went well.
However, when he heard about the experience of some of his teammates, he had no choice but to stand behind them.
The Quebec striker said in an interview with the British newspaper “Daily Mail”: “It is clear, clear and precise that there are things that did not work.” JC, Monday. Even those who have had correct experience, we have all come to the conclusion that there were things done that were not correct.
The strongman confirms that the recent developments have not divided the locker room, but quite the opposite. When Captain Boone Jenner came out publicly to Babcock’s defense, it should be understood that he did not yet have the full truth to this story.
“At the time Bonn made his statements, we did not have all the information,” Olivier explained. When we discussed the matter as a team and got all the information with the Players Association, our discourse changed. We were all on the same page. “It motivated us as a team.”
Olivier is now happy to be managed by Pascal Vincent, who the Blue Jackets locker room clearly knows well.
“Players, we’re all behind him 100%. This is a guy who was loved by everyone in the room. We’re so happy to have him.”
