And yeah, the Edmonton Oilers getting some very exciting news today going back to Germany as they are going to play the first two regular season games of the 2027-28 campaign in Leon Dreisidel's hometown of Cologne, Germany. So uh very Exciting to see that. Uh it's gotta be a phenomenal opportunity for Dreisidel to to be able to play in in in the place that he grew up. You know, uh pla he has played there before. Uh he's not new to it. He has been to Germany once already, but um yeah, just super interesting to uh to see that that opportunity. You know, it's rare enough in the NHL to get to play in your hometown if you're American or Canadian, but you know.

Aiden Ganim 0:58

You know, it's uh people tend to forget, you know, the the Western Division it's it's or they don't forget, but the Western Division it's two or Western Conference is two divisions. And uh, you know, you never know who can come out on the other side if the Oilers go deep enough into the playoffs. So it's good to, you know, maybe keep a keen eye on them every once in a while.
