Babcock's Scandal and Dismissal
Mike Babcock faced a storm of controversy when reports emerged accusing him of mistreating players. The specific claim came from Paul Bissonnette of the Spittin Chiclets Podcast, who accused Babcock of invading players' privacy by snooping through their phones.

In the aftermath of these events, various people have shared their opinions on why Babcock's coaching career took a nosedive. Even a current NHL head coach has given his perspective.
St. Louis' Take on Babcock
During a recent interview to kick off training camp, Martin St. Louis commented on the Babcock situation:
As a modern NHL head coach, St. Louis's words resonate with many NHL fans. Fans are growing weary of the same old coaching methods that often lead to recurring frustrations and failures.
