Quickly into the Ashley Fine Floors text line. Brent says, Brent texts us and says, Bob, did you see... The Jerry Modanage interview about Conor McDavid being a bad captain. Or not the interview, but the story. And I'm like, yes, I did. And Jerry's entitled. People are entitled to their opinion. You don't have to agree with it. And this is what happens. When you don't win, people look for reasons why. Okay? They look for reasons why. That kind of comes up with the territory. There's people that have mistakenly associated decisions that have been made with the Oilers organization to Conor McDavid. So I'm going to tell you something right here, right now. Conor McDavid had nothing to do with Chris Knobloch being hired as the head coach of the Edmonton Oilers.
That was Jeff Jackson, who probably benefited as much as anybody from Chris's coaching. Because he ended up getting bonus clients like Alex DeBrinckit and Connor Brown as a result of going into Erie to see Connor McDavid play. So, you know, it's not like... Conor McDavid sat there and said, fire Jay Woodcroft and bring in Chris Knobloch out of Hartford. OK, but we have people that sit there and espouse perspectives and views that are simply not true. It's OK. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. The orders are in a position right now as an organization where they got a little bit of time here, because I think we all know the number one candidate to replace Knobloch. the guy that's generally considered the best coach available, except he's not available.
He's not coaching an NHL team. But Bruce Cassidy is the guy. You talk to pretty much everybody around the league. So in the meantime, in between time, do you look at other potential targets? And some people say, well, you can't talk to this guy or you can't talk to that guy. How dare you bring that guy up? Everyone's entitled to their opinion. Okay? That's how it works. I swear there's days where I think there's some people that have never made mistakes. I can't imagine what it'd be like to live in that level of virtuousness that you've never made a mistake. I will tell you as a man who is now... Did Jack Michael say I'm in my seventh decade back on March the 28th? If you ever saw the movie Any Given Sunday and the speech that Al Pacino does, I've made every mistake that any...
What are the implications of the Jerry Modanage interview on Conor McDavid's leadership?
Middle-aged man has made. I can completely relate to that. And most of the guys I know, several of whom are significantly more successful than me, will admit to screwing up 1, 2, 37, 243, 8,643 times in their lives, okay? It comes with the territory. So anyhow, we're all entitled to how we think about issues and matters. So we're going to talk to Ron McLean, Louis DeBrusque, Bruce Kerlock about some Oilers prospects. He's got a piece coming up. Is there a push on the back end from the farm? There might be. We shall see. Top story for Legacy Heating and Cooling. Home and O payments and no interest for a year. That's how you build a legacy. Legacy Heating and Cooling for the record. Um, yeah, for the record, no update on this front.
Uh, the orders are in pro meetings as we speak. It would not be out of the realm of possibility that there might be some interviews currently taking place.
Okay.
We know for sure that Craig Berube is going to get interviewed. Logic would dictate Peter Laviolette. Some have reached out to me personally and said, what about Daryl Sutter?
