## Resource

The Edmonton Oilers are betting big by hiring Mike Babcock — a legendary, no-nonsense coach with a 25-year NHL track record — to end their Stanley Cup drought. With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl locked in for the next two seasons, the team is embracing a “Stanley Cup or bust” mentality and trading the “good cop” coaching style for Babcock’s feared “bad cop” intensity. The move signals a high-stakes gamble: can Babcock’s demanding leadership unlock the championship potential of Edmonton’s superstar core?
