Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · 100% Hockey's John Shannon (6/10/26) · 11 Jun 2026 podcast

You're getting close to the line.

And then more importantly, and this is something I think Mike will have to address, is how will Mike react to criticism like that?

Because we've all been around these scenarios and Mike has not taken criticism well.

And Mike pushes back and Mike becomes, quite frankly, Mike becomes a hard ass.

So who's going to keep Mike in check if he becomes the head coach of the Edmonton Oilers?

You know, I'm watching John Tortorella.

I'm watching John Tortorella and I must admit, and I like John Tortorella as a person, but I'm a little ticked off at John Tortorella, the way he's treating people after the game in the media.

when he's out of work and working in the media because he gets into this quote-unquote game mode and then is dismissive and here's the thing bob that's part of the job don't be dismissive be open mike babcock if he gets this job mike babcock has to be a better person has to be a better person

than he has been in previous situations in the National Hockey League.

And the question will be is who is going to make him in the Edmonton Oilers, who is going to make him a better person?

And the answer is yes, I hope so.

The answer is yes, I hope so.

Here's the thing.

So Mike did Zoom calls with Leon and Connor and Zach a week ago.

you know as well as i do bob mike babcock can be charming mike babcock can be as um did you say sorry did you say it was a zoom call with those three players okay yes all right that that that he he can actually really take a a a great situation and make people feel positive

He has it in his toolbox to do that.

The other aspect, and following up on this with a few people, is we know that he's not going to have an issue with Connor McDavid.

He's not going to have an issue with Leon or Zach.

But what about Matt Savoy?

Mike tends to bully and intimidate people down the food chain.
