[Relapsing]

Obviously expected, but still insane.

Thanks for being a bigger story today Oilers!

See if we let you guys talk to Cassidy, this would never have happened. We are heros.

 

[BigBoss614]

Absolute insanity. Does something that still hasn't come out that was enough to get him fired before coaching a single practice in Columbus. But two years later it's all swept under the rug and is fine to try coaching again?!

Hyman will do all the dirty works for him, no worries.

He strikes again

 

[Turin]

Babcock was more of a get your team in the playoffs coach more than a get your team over the hump coach last time we saw him. Wonder what he’s learned since then

Babcock won his cup on a great Detroit Team. That was almost 20 years ago.

Time has passed him by

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Let's see if Spector will one-up Simmons.

I expect the softest of softball questions.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Did he learn his "lesson" and can temper some of behavior? If so, I think this is a great, perhaps short term hire by the Oilers to get them a Cup while the current team still has a window to do so.

Time has proven that Holland and Babcock and the entire organization were being completely carried by Lidstrom.
