Holland reaching into he recycling bin and having discussions with Babcock apparently. Im seeing more and more Babs to the Oil talk this morning

Yes, the coach is the problem there. Sure thing.

Good God, poor Tyson Barrie.

That’d be a lotto win for Babcock’s adopted son Zach Hyman, though. He’ll never play another shift apart from McDavid again.

…until McDavid forces his way out of town, that is.

Didn't realize this was possible but nashville called up coaches for tonight's game?

Vegas did that last year.

Then Babcock gets hired wherever McDavid lands.

This would be a big upgrade for them.

 

[zeke]

Though I'd love to see Babcock drop McDrai's PP time to 2mpg like he did to our guys for some reason.

 

[Artnes]

How long before this hits the leafs. He played Tuesday

 

[Preston]

The Leafs players must have less of a life than Presto. Dudes idea of a night out is playing Call of Duty or some shit isn't it? Good on them I guess. That's how you avoid it!

I think they might see a bump with Babcock but I'm not sure it fixes the real issue of... almost everyone else on their team sucking.

not to mention how bad all their D are at standing in the right place

 

[Artnes]

Babs wont fix the bottom six being a place where pucks go to die

 

[hockeylover]

The lack of stability there seems pretty tough. 5 GMs and 8 coaches in a decade?

Poor Connor will be on his 4th coach.

Then Babcock gets hired wherever McDavid lands.

Toronto is not hiring Babcock again

 

[MindzEye]

This would be a big upgrade for them.

Would it? We were always a mediocre systems team under Babcock, like Edmonton is a mediocre systems team now.

Well he might deserve credit for us being legit elite offensively but then again we were legit stacked there.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm all of a sudden curious as to who Nurse thinks the Oiler with the shittiest work ethic is.

I can see why Holland thinks this is the right fix, though. With that hilarious off-season quote that was posted earlier where he proudly lists all the shitty players he’s added, he clearly thinks he’s built a great team.

Though you’d think that if he had an ounce of sense, he’d look at replacing Koskinen first, instead of his coach. It’s not like Koskinen is one of his guys, and although he’s absurdly overpaid, he’s also on an expiring deal, so moving on wouldn’t be impossible.

Well if the problem isn’t coaching than it’s Hollands
