Well, they passed the mic around yesterday or the phone yesterday on Oilers Now, so we're going to play snippets from five of the guests that were on yesterday's show. Here is Kevin Bieksa on Evan Bouchard not being a Norris finalist.
I thought right away of you guys, and I thought about how upset you would be. And honestly, it's just one of those years where it's a really deep hole. And I don't mean just because Ryan's here, but his teammate Adam Fox, the year he won it, I thought it was a weaker pool of defensemen. But this year... Bouchard's not on there. Quinn Hughes is not on there. Jake Sanderson, Charlie McAvoy. What's the guy in Detroit? Sider. I mean, there's a lot of great defensemen, but certainly Bouchard had a great year. I love how you guys all have his back. I'm sure he appreciates that. He's definitely a great defenseman, so he'll be in the running again next year.
I wouldn't say everybody in oil country's got his back. I'd say he's one of the more... debated Oilers players. Ryan Strom, a former Oiler and a former Anaheim Duck player this season, now with the Calgary Flames. He joined us on yesterday's show and he spoke about the Ducks readiness and the Oilers struggles.
Yeah, you know, and sometimes when they're going in the playoffs, they weren't clicking on all cylinders and sometimes you get a fresh slate and for a young team that's unexperienced, sometimes you just crawl to the finish line and you get that fresh start, right? And the clock reset to zero and they seem to be buzzing and think the injuries are a big part of it obviously i mean it's a tale of two tapes a team that was full of swagger and confidence and uh young legs versus a team that uh clearly had played a lot of hockey in the last few years so um yeah you know edmonton will be back there there's no doubt and um you know good for good for the good for the ducks it's been a tough road there for their fans and the organization so it's good to see them uh emerge for some of the dark days yeah well you know
Stroom can have that perspective. I'm going to tell you right now. I wish we were hosting game three around two tonight against the Vegas Golden Knights. Okay, but the orders are not their season came to net. Ron McLean was on yesterday's show. He spoke about the impact of the loss of Adam Henrique's and the ducks ability to line match.
And he made the line of Frederick and Doc go, Henrik. That's to Ryan Strom's point about when Montreal tried. And you get guys like Savoy or you get guys like Roslevic, when they don't know their role, when they're trying to decide, am I a top six forward playing with Connor McDavid or am I the fourth line? It was unbelievable what the Ducks did with the Washington line. You know, they told that group, you know, Moore, a defenseman to play forward, and Vielle, you go check McDavid. Imagine how those guys felt.
Meanwhile, Pierre Lebrun also was on yesterday's edition of Oilers Now, and he spoke about the Oilers' offseason and Connor McDavid.
no question i mean there's a bunch of teams i could put in that boat but you know i i certainly i mean if you're going to ask me where i think 97 will ultimately lean i don't think he's you know gotten to the end of that rope and there's discussions with his agent but i i do think there's at least another year for mcdavid in your market i think that
