Bob Stauffer 1:49

Hey, we got to tell a story for our friends at Brentridge Ford. For the last, well, even this year, I drove you home three or four times from the airport. So for the last 18 seasons, I've been a good driver, I think. I'm a good driver. Anyways, you know the movie that's from?

Louie DeBrusque 2:04

You are a good driver.

Bob Stauffer 2:06

I'm a good driver. We have these very animated cars.

Louie DeBrusque 2:10

You like the vehicle a little bit warm, though, Bob. I have to tell you. I don't understand. You know what? You and I run completely different. You like it really warm. I'm a polar bear. I like it a little colder. Yeah, well, it's my truck. The good thing about the new trucks is, the new Fords, is they've got that dual. So you can have a little hotter on your side. I can have a cooler on my side.

Bob Stauffer 2:32

That's kind of like he's she's a little bit country. Yeah, she's a little bit country. He's a little bit rock and roll. Wasn't that like the Donnie Marie show? I don't know. Ask Eileen Bella. She was a big fan of the purple wearing Donnie Osmond back in the day and the Osmond family. All right, so, yeah, I like it hot, you like it cold. And how many times did we have some heated conversations on the way home about the current plight of the Edmonton Linners or maybe what this team needed? Well, guess what? It's official. We can... The worst-kept secret in hockey, and some would say it's my fault that it was the worst-kept secret, but the reality is, from ownership to management to the players, and the players are a big part of this, the decision's been made.

Bob Stauffer 3:17

It's Mike Babcock and... Mike Babcock and DJ Smith. Yesterday, Mark Spector, Ryan Rashad. We're going to hear from Ryan a little bit later on. They spoke to Conor McDavid. Today, we just ran our exclusive 1v1 interview with Leon Dreisaitl. The reoccurring themes are there. We want to get better. We want to be pushed. Babcock is the right coach at this time for this team. Your thoughts on that messaging from some of their top players.

Louie DeBrusque 3:46

Well, great. You know what? Listen, I think that one thing Connor and me on especially, Zach Hyman is obviously a guy that's spoken up locally over the years, and he's always had a very straightforward attitude as far as what this team needs to do, how they need to play.
