@shouq_al90149 This can’t be real. Demi looks like she hasn’t eaten in ten years.

Did I just see Brady Tkachuk is going to the Panthers? 🤢

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

How is Bussi not one of the first to get the cup? 🤔 I get the whole seniority thing but he got the shutout that won the cup.

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

@Liza137823 Wow you sound like a super fun person to be around.

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

Congrats to @hallsy09 and the @Canes on being Stanley Cup champs.

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

You can respect Babcock’s résumé.

Stanley Cup. Olympic gold. Hundreds of wins.

But hockey has changed.

Leadership isn’t about fear anymore.

The Oilers need a coach players want to play for, not one they have to recover from. #LetsGoOilers

The Oilers hiring Mike Babcock would be a massive mistake.

This isn’t about systems or X’s and O’s.

It’s about a long trail of former players describing humiliation, manipulation, and psychological bullying. 🧵👇

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

In 2023, Babcock resigned from the Blue Jackets before coaching a game after controversy surrounding requests to view players’ personal phone photos.

Now, reports say the NHLPA wants an investigation before Edmonton moves forward.

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

Frank Corrado described his treatment under Babcock as “cruel.”

Multiple former players have spoken about anxiety, humiliation, and losing confidence while playing for him.

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

Mitch Marner was reportedly asked to rank teammates by work ethic as a rookie.

Babcock then shared the list with the team.

Veterans were furious that a 19-year-old was put in that position.

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

Johan Franzen called Babcock:

“The worst person I’ve ever met.”

Chris Chelios said Babcock verbally attacked Franzen to the point of a breakdown.

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

Winning doesn't excuse everything.
If the Oilers hire Babcock, they're telling fans and players that a coaching résumé matters more than the culture they spent years building. Cup window is too important to gamble on a coach who comes with this much baggage.
Agree or disagree?

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

@jsbmbaggedmilk Well said - hearing Oilers Players are already saying if Babcock is hired they will be looking at other options. Desperation is not a good look. We hire every Free Agent with a bad rep. Kassian, Kane, Bowman, Eakins, etc.

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

Couldn’t be said better. What a joke.

[Pete Blackburn @PeteBlackburn]

With essentially a one-year McDavid window, the Oilers hiring a guy who hasn't coached an NHL game in 7 years and got fired from his last job before even stepping behind the bench would legitimately be one of the most insane management decisions of all time

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

@tyleryaremchuk Why do we always hire the guys with the checkered past - wtf.

[Brooke Forrester @ActuallyOilers]

Ok Vegas - it’s a playoff game not a theatrical performance. Let’s drop the puck already 🙄🙄🙄 So extra.
