Hockey beat writer Rob Tychkowski joins host Craig Ellingson to talk about the Edmonton Oilers hiring Dave Tippett as the NHL team's head coach.

Specifically:

Tippett will be Ryan Nugent-Hopkins's eighth head coach in nine years. RNH, the Oilers' longest-serving player, was taken first overall by the Oilers in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
How Tippett differs as a coach from immediate Oilers predecessors Ken Hitchcock and Todd McLellan. Hitchcock finished this past season as head man after McLellan was fired 20 games into the 2018-19 NHL campaign.
What 'style' of coaching we might expect to see from Tippett, who had the reputation as a defensive-minded coach in Arizona and Dallas.
The limits of what changes we can expect to see in the Oilers next season based on coaching alone.
