## Resource

The Edmonton Oilers just landed Mike Babcock as their new head coach, pairing him with D.J. Smith as associate coach in a bold move aimed at championship contention. Babcock, fresh from retirement, was thrilled by the opportunity and praised the team’s leadership—especially McDavid and Draisaitl—for their winning mindset. Known for his blunt honesty and accountability, Babcock brings decades of experience, while Smith, his former collaborator, vows to push each other to greatness. GM Stan Bowman emphasized building a cohesive team where every player thrives, not just the stars. With high expectations and a clear vision, Babcock and Smith are ready to lead the Oilers over the hump. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
