Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · Ayden & Cam in conversation at 880 CHED (8/19/26) · 19 Aug 2026 podcast

I mean you you look at Goths Bear, you know, and I go back to Carolina again, obviously 'cause they won, but you know, Goths Bear moved from team to team.

He can't do this, he can't, he can't and all of a sudden he wins the Stanley Cup and he can do a lot of things.

So, you know, Miller on defense for Carolina, you know, people, you know, would

arguably say you didn't have any occupants you can't play.

New York can't play.

Well he goes there and he's killing penalties on the best penalty killing team over the last decade, you know, in in the one and two pair.

So I mean you don't know when a guy is gonna, you know, figure it out for himself, figure it out in his own brain.

Game slows down.

There's a lot of things and unfortunately now that I've been in the league long enough I've seen guys that you know people

people have given up on and getting other opportunities and how they go about it.

And one thing about defensemen, it takes a long time for a lot of these guys to settle down and just let the game come to them.

And the more good D you can have the better.

Yeah, you do, and as you know, the teams that win use all their players.

And I think it's imperative that everyone feels a part of it.

And I think that's one thing with with Mike as the head coach is he's gonna make everyone important.

Everyone has to have a job.

Everyone has to feel like they're contributing.

And I think you know, we we're spread out on the back end, guys are gonna have to have jobs and feel important.

But ultimately if

you wanna win uh uh the the big prize, everyone has to be important uh and you need all twenty go in the right direction.
