## Resource

Mike Babcock is bringing his no-nonsense, win-at-all-costs coaching style to the Edmonton Oilers — and the stars are ready for it. He admits his tone can be tough but insists he’s never crossed the line, while leaning on D.J. Smith to keep him grounded. Babcock’s philosophy is clarity, accountability, and trust — from day one, everyone knows what’s expected. He’s open to feedback, even from his own kids, and values his staff’s honesty. Smith, while respecting Babcock’s championship pedigree, won’t hesitate to push back if needed. Together, they’re building a team that thrives on mutual respect and shared purpose — a family united by one goal: winning. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
