The Mike Babcock Era Begins In Edmonton 🫣 | FN Barn Burner

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett give a full breakdown of the Edmonton Oilers officially naming Mike Babcock as their next head coach. After weeks of speculation, controversy and debate, the Oilers have made one of the most polarizing hires in recent NHL history. The guys discuss why Edmonton ultimately decided Babcock was the right person for the job, what this means for Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the rest of the Oilers core, and whether Babcock can help push the franchise back into Stanley Cup contention. They also examine the reaction from around the hockey world, the concerns that still surround Babcock following his previous exits from Toronto and Columbus, and the enormous pressure that comes with taking over a team expected to compete for a championship immediately. Was this the right move for the Oilers, or will it become one of the defining storylines of the NHL season? Let us know what you think in the comments. #nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #edmontonoilers CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️ BARN BURNER MERCH https://nationgear.ca/collections/shi...
