Babcock after his apology for his retort to the media earlier in the day about line combinations:
That’s not the way to treat anybody. Disrespectful. I saw it later and it was disrespectful.
On the goaltender interference call that pulled back the Auston Matthews tying goal:
We’ve had two of them the same way. The goal was going in, whether he touched him or not, because he had time and pushed out. But the league decides that, not us. In my opinion, that didn’t affect the outcome of the game. The one-on-one battles affected the outcome of the game.
