ngl i was kinda hoping they'd hire someone with more experience but at least babcock's got some playoff savvy maybe he can get something going in edmonton man.
Babcock is Back man
ok so babbs is officially our coach now which i guess is either great or terrible idk honestly but at least we wont have knoblauch killing the PP no more

ngl idk how babbs going to motivate this team, we needed someone with a winning rep like quinn or salmingo, babcock's got some wins but theyre all old lol @oktopus95 says hes got an ok track record but i just dont see it tbh

old wins or no wins at all lol babbs better bring some magic or were gonna be looking at another first round exit tbh

tbh idk if "magic" is the right approach for this team man we've been stuck in neutral for years literally
@section7edm said: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
@Oilers17 said:old wins or no wins at all lol babbs better bring some magic or were gonna be looking at another first round exit tbh
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
winning a cup makes him worth tryin!

yeha exactly, if winning a cup makes him worth tryin then it's about time we started gettin some actual results instead of excuses @tj_morris

@Oilers4Life ngl i think its time we give this guy a fair shot idk how you can be so critical after like 1 season of nothing, @jake_oilers man relax

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.
