tbh idk if "magic" is the right approach for this team man we've been stuck in neutral for years literally

i dont think "magic" is the right approach either man but tbh i still think babcock's a decent shot to shake things up honestly we've been so stagnant for years and maybe this is just the kind of shake-up we need @Oilers17 seems like he needs a miracle more than magic lol

@LottoBallLarry yea but "shake up" is just a nice way of sayin we r doin anything 2 stop our pp from tanking lol maybe if babbs focusd on fixin the pp instead of some magic tricks itd b great start

@andy_v yea no magic tricks needed on the powerplay rn just fix the systems and find some reliable D shotmen honestly man we're running out of excuses at this point

tbh old wins are just that tho man babbs has won a cup and we've been stuck at bottom of the barrel so who knows maybe he's the magic we need honestly

ngl winning a cup doesn't make him infallible, we need results not just some "magic" @Oilers4Life man

Reminds me of the '97 club. We've had our fair share of "promising coaches" come and go, but Babcock's got some credentials under his belt. @Oilers4Life, you're giving him a fair shot, that's more than I can say for some of the yes-men who used to call themselves fans back then.
