What are the initial thoughts on Mike Babcock's hiring as Head Coach?
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.
I don't know if you've heard of this guy named Steve Eisenman. He played in the league for a long, long time. Scored tons and tons and tons of points. And then a gentleman named Scotty Bowman came there. Didn't score quite as many points, but won three Stanley Cups. you know stevie's a good friend of mine he'd tell you in a second he'd rather win the cups we're not asking him to score less we're asking him to do things right to make everyone else on the team important and play in a different different than their game but in a different way in some details of the game i've walked through this in detail with them they say they're in
There you go. That is Mike Babcock in his main media availability. We just had our one-on-one with him, which took place after the press conference. Welcome back, everybody. It's 4.38 in oil country. Bob Stauffer with you, along with Aidan Ganim, Derek Scott, Kellen Kennedy, Eamon Hash, and we will have Elliott Friedman hopefully sometime late in the second hour of the show. Brian Lawton will join us just after 5 o'clock. We'll tell you the guests and orders now. Receive your certificates. Japanese Village, it's a true celebration for the census. Quality ingredients and unmatched grill site experience. Book your seat at jvebington.ca. Very quickly, Young Gun, Aidan Ganim. What stood out for you in the longer format Babcock interview, which went into some detail on some of the tactical and technical approaches that the orders may adopt under them?
You know what, Bob, there were four quotes that really stood out to me there. The first one was early on. If you haven't won before, you don't know how to win. I just I think that's it's blatant. It's obvious and it's true. It's got to be joy based. So, you know, him not wanting to come back unless he's going to enjoy what he's doing and be a part of this process. We're going to pressure like crazy. That was that was exciting to hear a much more aggressive man on man kind of defense. And if they weren't 100 percent all in on me, I didn't want to do it. And I think that kind of proves that, you know, the stars of this Edmonton Oilers roster really bought into to Mike Babcock and the kind of skill that he can bring.
And I think I think that's going to be really good for this group.
All right, let's go to the Ashley Fine Floors text line at 780-451-8800. I saw this gentleman in Westlock on Friday night. Bob, it's from Jason in Sangudo. As long as Mike Babcock knows not to try the Bob father, Friday night I seen Bob talk to a police officer. The officer thanked Bob for his service. That one came to us from Jason in Sangudo. Again, you can text us at 780-451-8800. Bob, if we're playing Connor and Leon together, do we think RNH is good enough to be a full-time 2C or is an upgrade required there? I got the sense that he didn't commit. He certainly talked about maybe playing them together. I found his common interest might differ on the road versus home. How many of you out there right now, Texas, on the Ashley Fine Flores text line at 780451, think that Nugent Hopkins would be fine on a line with, say, Pencolson and Zach Hyman?
I mean, that would be – I mean, put Coles in basically himself. Whatever line he played on five-on-five had success. So, again, you can text us at 780-451-8800. Bob, is there any chance from Camrose Chris that Darnell Nurse stays? I think he would leave a massive hole. Can we repair the relationship? Well, a reminder that DJ Smith coached Darnell Nurse, and we talked and hinted about DJ really since Wednesday of last week, coached Darnell Nurse at the latest World Hockey Championships. Again, you can text us at any time at 780-451-8800.
How does Mike Babcock's coaching style compare to previous coaches?
Wow, what's this Marchenko rumor stuff that Kirill Marchenko out there? I've got two separate texts on that. Here we go. Bob, lots happening right now with the orders. Very interested in Kirill Marchenko on the Blue Jackets.
