My other piece today…

The PWHL season is dropping the puck Friday night, but it’s not too early to predict who might take home the hardware at the end of the season🏒

My predictions @TheHockeyWriter

Mike Commodore on @JasonGregor's show:

“Mike Babcock’s not an idiot. Connor and Leon are going to get treated like gold. It’s the 3rd and 4th liners, the 5-7 defensemen, the rookies, the arena staff, it’s people like that who are going to be abused.”

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

Just the epitome of how this season has gone so far…

Pinango hits a leadoff triple.
Springer, Lukes, and Vladdy all strike out.

Consistency is dangerously lacking right now. Everyone needs to step up. #BlueJays50

[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

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

Please no.

[Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger]

Sources: The Edmtn Oilers are consulting with the NHLPA to see if there are objections that must be resolved before potentially hiring Mike Babcock. Amid allegations of invading players privacy, Babcock resigned in CBJ as Head Coach in 2023. Further investigation may be required.

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

Less than a month from free agency and Anders Lee will likely be available. Here why’s the #LetsGoOilers should consider signing him.

Detroit also laying great groundwork. Watts is already a star and can easily be the face of a new franchise.

[Kyle Cushman @Kyle_Cush]

PWHL Detroit signs Daryl Watts to a record 4-year contract. This is Detroit's EFO signing.

Watts is the first player in franchise history. It's the first 4-year contract in PWHL history.

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

Huge signing for them. She is a killer. Hamilton putting some good foundational pieces in place.

[PWHL Report @PWHL_Report]

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 🚨: Alina Müller is signing with PWHL Hamilton, according to @hailey_salvian

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

Someone needs to tell Okamoto he can challenge pitches. Guy has had countless chances this season, some of them at pretty critical moments.

@ejmb0000000 Here you go! (My apologies if it's hard to hear, might need to put your phone volume up to hear properly)

The #LetsGoOilers have a decision to make with Quinn Hutson, and it’s coming soon.

I look at what the team could do going into next season in my latest @TheHockeyWriter

There is no fukin way a player on our team just got injured by a god damn fan

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

@TayloShaun Thanks. That fan should be banned for life.

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

If anyone has any video of what happened to Jesus Sanchez, please share.

#BlueJays50

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

Just a poorly pitched and terribly managed game. Could have easily been won.

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

We gotta stop with Jeff Hoffman in high-leverage situations. He can’t handle it. He was doing fine pitching the middle innings. Leave him there.

#BlueJays50

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

@ian_heyting Fair enough. Which makes it even worse…

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

Regardless of opinion, he’s not going anywhere soon.🏒

My latest @TheHockeyWriter dives into why the #LetsGoOilers won’t be moving Darnell Nurse in the near future.

Another hiring…

PWHL Detroit has tapped Josh Sciba as their first head coach.

Sciba spent the last 2 seasons as an assistant coach with the New York Sirens.🏒

[Jackson Scherger @scherger89]

Big news yesterday as PWHL Hamilton hired their first head coach in Kris Sparre.

He recently coached the Boston Fleet in the 2025-26 season.
