What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey, it's Bob Stauffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. It's 534 in oil country, and it's been a great start to the year for our friends at Brentridge Ford. But you know what? They need quality used vehicles. If you have a vehicle that's in good condition and you want to sell it, talk to Johnny or Mark, and the team there will make sure that you're looked after. Of course, they can help you if you want to replace your vehicle as well. Great selection, terrific prices, award-winning service. Brent Ridge Ford is your Ford truck authority on the auto mile in Wetasquin. Cars cost less in Wetasquin. We bring back to the show for legacy heating and cooling.
Whether it's heating or cooling you need, get it with no payments and no interest for a year. That's how you build a legacy. Legacy heating and cooling. It is John Shannon. Hello, John. How are you doing? Oh, I'm fine, Bob. How are you? Good. What did you think of Mike Babcock yesterday?
Well, that was vintage Mike Babcock, in my opinion. It's the same kind of delivery that he has had his whole career in the NHL. I think that we would have liked to have heard a bit more contrition. But at the same time, this is the same Babcock and it's going to be a learning curve for everybody, including Mike and reading some stuff yesterday and today and even reading the commissioner's comments. that Mike will be watched very closely. It's going to be a very interesting time that Mike is going to have to understand that he's under the microscope as long as he's a coach in the NHL.
Yeah, it was interesting. Did you happen to get a chance to see our one-on-one interview that ran on YouTube from 880 Chet here with Babcock?
I did. I did. I quite enjoyed that interview. I quite enjoyed we saw a little more of a human side to Mike in that interview than we did in the press conference. Right. which I think is important. The other aspect of it is, in so many ways though, is that your relationship with Mike goes back as long as you guys talked about, and that's important. And I think that Mike has a way of doing things. Make no mistake about it. It's his everyday life. It's dealing with the media. It's coaching. And if we expect Mike to change very much, we are going to be sadly mistaken.
Yeah. So there's stuff out there now. It's funny because the sports sense, Mark Spector, and now Ryan Rashog have both in the last two hours dropped something with Connor McDavid because I didn't think – there was a time when it appeared as though maybe the players would, you know, I know we had Dickinson and Murphy on, but for different reasons, they signed their contract extensions. We wanted to get them on the show today. But it's clear, this is the players, you know, the players were certainly involved in the process here, John, to say the least.
Well, and I think that that is a key aspect to all of this. So the moment, and I'm not suggesting that I wanted to, and I'm not suggesting it will, but the moment things go off the rails, we're going to be able to go to Connor and say, hey, Connor, you endorsed this.
What are the latest updates on Mike Babcock's coaching style?
You know, Leon, you endorsed this. Zach, you believe in this guy. And I think it was a brilliant move, whether it be my mic or by the organization to coordinate this. the interview time that the three guys had with Mike and I believe Harrison Cates was in the meeting as well, that I thought, I think that that's really, I think a key point in understanding the commitment that everybody has to this coach, not just ownership, not just Jeff and Stan, but the leadership group of this hockey club They are committed to Mike Babcock, too. And I think that's really important for messaging for not only their teammates, but I think it's important for the fan base. All right.
We're joined by John Shannon. John, the reality is, so Babcock and DJ Smith are the combination. Your thoughts on DJ as well?
Oh, I'm a DJ fan. You know, there is some, you know, the crossroads of all these people. You know, DJ, I first got to know DJ a bit when he was in Oshawa coaching the Generals.
