Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer · Oilers Head Coach Mike Babcock (6/23/26) · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

And nothing against anybody, but if it wasn't Connor, Leon, and Zach can meet with him, we'd never be here.

And so my conversation with Jackson and Stan was off the charts.

It was unbelievable.

But in the end, if the players, especially the Lucia group here, they don't want you.

There's no sense being here because you have no chance.

And so to me, that was critical.

The part about going through it with them

all the details that has to happen for us to have success.

And then you have to sign on.

I'm willing to do that.

But what I liked about them, they were men and they got opinions and they shared them.

You know, what's interesting is I arrived at Redditor College and, you know, I'd just been a player coach overseas.

I didn't know what I was doing, really.

But there was a guy named Perry Pern, who coached Nate in R&D.

Rob didn't do still everything he does because he knows what he's doing and you don't.

And one of my captains, Brent DeVoe, was here today at this press conference from Red Deer College, so I was thankful for that.

Then I went to major junior, and you get kicked around a bit, and you got to figure out how to do things.

When I got the job at the UofL and so few guys showed up the first practice, I thought, oh, we're in trouble here.

But it was the most fun I've ever had coaching in my life.

We had a great team and a great bunch of guys, and we got better every day.
