It is?
Oh, yeah.

Can you walk and chew gum?
No.
He can't.
No. I don't know.

Play them. Hey, Sammy, why don't you tell us about your thoughts on twins while we're watching the Sedins being introduced as co-presidents of the Vancouver Canucks? I don't know.

Chapter 4: Who are the potential candidates for the Oilers' head coach position?
You think? I do. I do too. Really? And not confirmed, but the decision was right from the top.
Uh-huh. That, hey, we got to look into this guy. He's available.
He's... Just in terms of maybe firing Knobloch, I think the hammer came down and it may have come right from the owner.
Well, hey, if he's willing to spend the money, what's it to everyone else?
I mean... Three years. He hasn't even started a new contract.
He had three more years.
Chris Knobloch had three more years. Berube, two more years.
Man, him and Ruby are just on a yacht somewhere. I got to tell you, being a fired coach has got to be the dream job. The best. Like, what's he making? Three mil? Four mil?
He went to the finals twice.

Chapter 5: What role does Connor McDavid play in the Oilers' coaching decisions?
Oh, great. This is going to be fun. Frontrunner Bruce Cassidy at plus 225. Second odds... Bruce Boudreaux, plus 400. David Carl, plus 550. John Gruden, the American Hockey League coach for the Marlies, plus 550 as well. Gerard Gallant, Manny Malhotra, plus 650. Dean Everson, Jay Woodcroft, plus 1,000. Chris Knobloch, plus 1,200. And then the name Sam was talking about.
Jeff Halpern? No.
Chapter 6: How does the Oilers' situation compare to the Leafs and Canucks?
Halpern, no. I just sent you a screenshot. I could look at the actual thing. Yeah, it could be farther down. The name that Sam wanted to bring up. I'll let him have it.
Patrick Waugh?
Your boy.
Yeah.
If you had gotten the team you thought you were... Yeah. Not to do too much here, but you like him a lot.
I do. I do.
I don't know how much... Could he wear the blue and white after all those years as a
Oh, I think he could. I think he could.
Oh, that would. Oh, I got to tell you a few things sweeter than seeing Patrick Waba behind the Leafs bench at the Bell Center. That would be like, do you think? I mean, that's it. I think there's a few guys that you could go out there and hire that are officially like a statement. I think hiring Patrick Waba is like a real statement.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of a Morgan Rielly-Darnell Nurse trade?
You know, what NHL superstars get leaned on by head coaches in today's day and age?
Patrick Watt, Barzell.
Yeah, good one.
Yeah. Jim Montgomery, Pasta. Was he hard on pasta? Yeah, then he got fired next year. So did Waugh. Yeah, so did Waugh.
That's the chat line. There's probably more.
But it does seem like a recipe for pushing it to you or me, and the team always is like the star, please.
It's way tougher today for coaches to go to their star players because they have... They have more power. They know where their power is. The no moves have changed.
Long contracts.
You're worth more money. Climate of trades and how we treat these star players. Yeah. So I don't know if Craig felt that or I can't lose Willie.

Chapter 8: What insights does Bob Stauffer provide about the Oilers' coaching change?
I don't know what it was.
And he's not wrong. You couldn't have success without Willie, but... Yeah, it did feel early on like they went head-to-head, and then Willie came on top. Willie wanted more ice time.
Yeah, I remember. Willie wanted more ice time. He said that he wanted more ice time.
And he got it.
And then he did get it. And he got it. He did score 40 goals. Great numbers. Yeah, he scored 40 goals.
But others would have said, well, you know how it works, right? You play better, you work harder, you get more ice time. You just don't get it because you ask for it.
I do think that if there's one thing for a coach that's actually really hard about this market, would be benching players here.
Yeah.
I think here, if you sit down, like, I mean, I remember we had a, when Marner got benched for a couple shifts by Keith, it was like a referendum.
