OK, we're going to get into it.
Bob had a sit down one on one conversation with Oilers forward Colton Dock, who has just been a bit of a spark plug for the Edmonton Oilers since joining from the trade deadline with or from the Chicago Blackhawks at the trade deadline.
Here's Bob and Colton.
Colton, you've got a couple of playoff games in now at Rogers Place.
You're part of the team.
You're back in the rotation after missing the game, spending time at LTIR.
What's this experience been like for you so far?
I mean, you grew up watching it.
I mean, I don't know who you were.
Were you a fan of the Oilers as a kid growing up?
I mean, because the Oilers have had sort of a different evolutionary track here over the last several years.
Obviously, they've been a lot better team the last four or five years.
And at that point, you're your own player playing for another organization.
But did you have a pretty good idea of what you're getting yourself into as a player when the order straightened for you?
Does it help when the general manager that drafted you trades you?
Because clearly he believes in you.
How specified has the direction of the coaches been in terms of you doing your job and knowing your role?
So the owners acquired Vasily Pakolzin on August 18th, five days after the Dylan Holloway offer sheet.
I remember talking to Stan that day, and he said...
I think this player has got a lot of room to grow.
