We welcome back from NHL Hockey on Rogers, one of our top analysts, Louis DeBrusque. Hello, Louis. How are you doing? Doing well today, Bob. How are you doing? Good. Were you a fan of ZZ Top back in the day?
Of course. Yeah? Oh, yeah. Sharp Dressed Man. That's what a lot of people find. I used to be on the old Rock'em Sock'em. Don Cherry's Rock'em Sock'em. Sharp Dressed Man and his grapevine. Yeah? Yep.
No, awesome song. You know, great band. Louie, we had some people today. We were talking about coaching, and I said the Oilers must do an exhaustive and expansive search for the coach. And we had somebody say, well, what about Don Cherry? And I'm like, well, I probably don't think that. I think he's in his 90s. Yesterday we said, well, can Stan Bowman not look any further than his own family? His dad's the greatest coach of all time. And I'm like, well, Scotty's 92 years of age. You know, it's kind of like, I'm going to say this right here, right now. I think Wayne Gretzky would be hard pressed to get 50 points in today's NHL. Seriously. What did you say? He's got to be – what is he, 65 now? Like, come on.
Okay, okay. I was like, you know what? I think I wouldn't bet against him. I think he had 60 what, 62 or 64 his last year, his 20th year in the league. Yeah. And – Yeah, so I think he would – I wouldn't bet against him. But, yeah, no, when you first said that, I'm like, pardon? You're saying that a prime Wayne Gretzky would be able to put 50 points in the league? I think you'd lost your mind for a second there.
Have you not been listening to the show over the last two and a half weeks? I think I am losing my mind. Well, there's a lot going on. There's a lot going on. You know what? Yeah, but nothing going on. We're on hold, if you know what I'm saying. Exactly. But that's kind of how it goes, right? Yeah. Do you agree an exhaustive search? I mean, I think there's a lot of people sitting here going, well, obviously, a lot of Elliot Freeman, you know, Bruce Cassidy is at the top of any list. Frank Cervale yesterday, Bruce Cassidy is a top five NHL coach. But the Vegas Golden Knights have not allowed teams to interview Bruce at this stage. I had two or three texters today, and I agree with one of the texters. They said if Carter Hart had been healthy,
They're not convinced that Bruce Cassidy still wouldn't be the head coach of the Vegas Golden Knights the way he's playing right now because he's been tremendous so far for Vegas. And he got nicked up there and missed some time. And Aiden Hill had a real rough season. They got Hill signed on a long-term deal, by the way. Keep an eye on that carrying forward.
