Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · Oilers Regional TV Colour Analyst Louie DeBrusk (5/21/26) · 21 May 2026 podcast

I think there's multiple teams, if not more, and could be more at the end of this regular season or this playoff season, looking to fill a void in the coaching department.

And those three are the big three because of their history, because of what they've done.

So I understand that.

But I think it should be...

you know, a deep dive into what you're looking for, a deep dive into the personality, the system you want to bring in for this team.

It's all, all the talk has been about defense, right?

So, you know, when you look at these three coaches, Laviolette, Cassidy, and Berube, they've all done it in a defensive manner in their history of their coaching with teams that have won the Stanley Cup.

But on the flip side of that, you're dealing with a team here at Edmonton that has a

the most dynamic offensive duo in the league.

So you can build around that, but there's no question that the defensive part of the game has to be the bulk of the structure of whoever you bring in.

I would agree with you.

It comes to the territory.

I think if the Edmonton Oilers have two Stanley Cup rings right now, even though they lost in the first round this year, I don't think the discussion is even remotely the same.

I think it's completely different, but that's the business that everybody's in.

They're in the business to win.

And from a player, you know, from management, ownership, sorry, down to management, down to players, all the way down in your organization, that is the goal at the start of every single season.

So you're judged not only on your individual success, but you're judged on your team success first and foremost.

If your team isn't doing the right things to continue to be successful and continue to give yourself a chance to win the Stanley Cup.

Now, I'll argue that...

The best team that was iced was the team that was iced for game number one.
