🤷‍♂️just gotta keep winning I guess

Say what you want about Mike Babcock, but there's no denying he has one of the sharpest hockey minds in the game. Here, Babcock explains why left-handed defencemen are so important and how they can impact puck movement, breakouts, and overall team success.

@jpolly22 Worry about the jets bro

What are the Oilers doing

Sounds like there’s been some discussion between the Oilers and Connor Murphy’s camp. Today’s Babcock news doesn’t change anything as far as the players willingness to consider a return to the Oilers, but term and dollars will have to make sense based on the market.

@bruce_arthur Enjoy Chayka and Jim hiller!

One Cup, no first round wins since 2013, last on top of the hockey world in about 2017, and it went downhill from there. Feels like yesterday’s man, and an almost desperate hire.

I'd suggest #LetsGoOilers fans tune into @OilersNow at 4pm today. I have a feeling Robert might have something to share with us.

Sounds like final details on a contract are being nailed down, but barring a last minute rush wouldn’t expect a press conference in Edmonton until early next week for Babcock.

NHL is clearing is Mike Babcock to coach the Edmonton Oilers. They are free to hire him

@CFL @theScoreBet Started a leauge after week 1, week 2 has passed and teams still have 0-0-0 records. Any way to fix ?

Here’s how the CFL.ca mock draft shook out! 👀 There's still time to make a league, join a draft and play #CFLFantasy presented by @theScoreBet! View the full draft results: cfl.visitlink.me/ChDixY

@NHLRumourReport LOL

Darren Dreger: I'm told that the Maple Leafs absolutely covet Darren Raddysh and they're trying to create the cap space to make sure that they are a big time player, again, if he gets to July 1 - That's Hockey (6/17)

@OilersNation No

Do you believe in Tristan Jarry as the starting goaltender next season?

Can confirm that EDM was NOT the team granted permission to interview Bruce Cassidy, that Kelly McCrimmon referred to. Meanwhile, Cassidy remains open to an interview in EDM, but requires said permission.

Yes Vegas GM Kelly McCrimmon saying now the team would grant permission for Bruce Cassidy to interview elsewhere “on a case by case” basis does sound like Not Edmonton. So let’s kick the Cassidy and the Oilers coach possibility to the curb

@SNstats Now do the offensive stats

LA Kings in 175 games under Jim Hiller: Goals Against/Game - 2.60 (1st in NHL) 5v5 Goals Against - 273 (1st in NHL) 5v5 Goals For% - 55.39 (3rd in NHL)

#Oilers coaches McLellan & Woodcroft flank then-#RedWings co-workers Holland & Babcock at the 2006 #NHLDraft. #TBT

@JesseGranger_ I thought they were focusing on the playoffs?

Kelly McCrimmon said the Golden Knights granted Bruce Cassidy permission to interview with a team, “near the middle” of the Cup Final series, but that it did not come to fruition. He said moving forward they'll deal with it on a case by case basis.

@MapleLeafs Insiders lol

While there’s no timeline set for the NHL/Babcock investigation (“it’ll be over when it’s over,” a league source told me this evening), there’s growing belief within the Oilers that it’s going to happen. So, we shall see.

Babcock on EDM: "they've got points in their last 4 games. I don't call that analytics, those are stats. We've used those for about 100 yrs"
