One of the most fascinating details from Elliotte Friedman was what happened when three Oilers players met with Mike Babcock.
The players didn't hold back. They grilled Babcock with tough questions about his past and how he would handle the Edmonton Oilers.
But according to Friedman, Babcock was just as direct.
He reportedly on Edmonton's failures and was blunt about why this core still hasn't won a Stanley Cup.
@rwesthead are you on the governments payroll? @TSN is not funded by the government? Why are we pushing the importance of majority government on your hate speech story?
@DerekVanDiest I agree. Commonwealth stadium is the biggest stadium in Western Canada. We easily could have supported a group of games at the World Cup.
Hear me out. Hire Mike Babcock so Vegas finally lets Bruce Cassidy start interviewing with other teams.
Fire Mike Babcock immediately like Columbus did and hire Bruce Cassidy.
Zach Hyman is unquestionably the best Free Agent signing in @EdmontonOilers team history.
Has scored at a 38-goal pace (82 GP) in his 5 seasons in Oil Country.
Positive energy player...great person!
How much does Zach Hyman think of Mike Babcock? He owes him his career. His brother just hired Babcock's son to coach their junior team. It's no coincidence the Oilers are considering Babcock in Edmonton. Zach Hyman is one of the best people in hockey, period.
