Confirmed with Link: Mike Babcock Hired as Oilers Head Coach | Presser

[CantHaveTkachev]

Guys like him do not learn or change.

I still hate the hire but I kind of respect it
Don’t pretend you’ve changed” when you haven’t at all

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

did Gregor really say that lol

He did

 

[NeverForget06]

Babs not taking the bait on that one lol

 

[Wreckus]

did Gregor really say that lol

Yup

 

[KCC]

Babs, is my dog sick?

"That's a great question".

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Babcock framing it from a parents perspective to Gregor is genius whether he realizes it or not. Gregor can be a goofball but he seems like a great father and that analogy might get through to him

I don't, some self reflection isn't a sign of weakness.

 

[oXo Cube]

Mike clearly still thinks his own shit doesn't stink. Like at all.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I honestly want to know what his plan is for the Oilers. Can someone please ask what he can do differently that Knoblauch failed to do?

Coach

 

[Oilhawks]

Gregor with the fratboy wording

Connor McDavid after winning the Stanley cup in the 26/27 season.

I think anyone expecting him to get up there and say he was wrong or that he's sensitive now was thinking wishfully lol

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Has he spoken to our goalie yet? Because he's going to make or break the season, not Mcdavid and co.

 

[HymanGoalsPlease]

Well at least Smith and Babcock seem more confident than Knoblauch. No umms or awwws.

Damn! Stan got hair and DJ Smith lost his!

Moe, Larry, and Asshole

 

[CupofOil]

Mike's ego is as big as ever
oh boy

Clearly but if he wins who cares. Nothing he says at this press conference will change any minds, only wins will.

It's not that hard to sit there and say "I've made some mistakes but I've learned from them and taken steps to be better."

But he can't even manage that.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I don't, some self reflection isn't a sign of weakness.

Being able to self reflect and grow should be a sign of strength.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Clearly but if he wins who cares. Nothing he says at this press conference will change any minds, only wins will.

If this team's going to win it all it's going to take some absolute wizardry by the guy sitting next to Babcock.

And Harry Potato hasn't impressed so far.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Babcock basically trying to claim that the organization in Columbus never gave him a real chance.

Yep, nothing is ever his fault. Narcissist

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I’m sorry babs but calling a player a fat pig isn’t love / just speaking the truth haha.

I like what I’m hearing hockey wise, but I think an apology to Franzen would have went a long way.

 

[KCC]

So what exactly is babcock going to make the top players do that they haven't done already? Play better defense? PK? etc. They've done everything already. lol

 

[DrDrai]

If there is one thing from this presser, Mike isn’t hiding who he is. You can’t be mad if his style fails.
