Though the NHL cleared him of any legal restrictions, they viewed the situation unfavorably, and long-standing rumors about his coaching style persist. Babcock admits his tone can be harsh, but insists his intent is caring—like a parent telling hard truths. He acknowledges the emotional toll of tough decisions, especially for aging players, and strives to handle them with respect. Associate coach D.J. Smith, who’s worked with Babcock before, defends him, saying his approach is often misunderstood and that Babcock remains calm under pressure—while also trusting his leadership, even when players disagree.
