I think Staples has chilled out with old age, and has become more consumed in the political side of things.
He's basically a glorified fan with some out of touch views on things in general, but doesnt take himself and his position nearly as seriously as Spector. Fewer hot takes, aside from what qualifies as a urinal. The cult of hockey thing is just two elderly 80s kids bonding over their favorite team.
Spector and Stauffer are loud mouths who're deluded into believing their thoughts and platforms matter.
Stauffer is at least able to be critical during his call and acknowledge when other teams are running the Oilers show, but he also lets his bum hurt vibes come through on game calls and is bad at not making it blatantly obvious which side he's personally invested in.
