Can Mike Babcock Be The Missing Piece To Get The Edmonton Oilers Over The Hump?

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/joinOur guest today is Kevin Karius, who just retired in June after a 36-year career in television and radio sports broadcasting in Edmonton, most recently as the morning radio host on Sports 1440. The Oilers, much like the Stars, fell well short of playoff expectations last season. After making back-to-back trips to the Stanley Cup Final, Edmonton were bounced in the first round of the 2026 post season by the upstart Anaheim Ducks. It was the first time in the last five trips to the playoffs where the Oilers failed to win at least one series. Superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl did not pull any punches in their team assessment after the loss to the Ducks, publicly stating that the squad had to get better. General manager Stan Bowman made the controversial decision to fire head coach Kris Knoblauch and bring in Mike Babcock as they search for the missing ingredient to get Edmonton over the hump.0:00 John Klingberg Retires19:30 The Other 31 - Edmonton Oilers / Kevin KariusAn ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE:    / @dlls_sports  ALL THINGS DLLS:WEBSITE:http://allDLLS.com/BUY MERCH: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/coll...FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_SportsInstagram: @DLLS_SportsBecome a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!
