How did the show introduce the Bakersfield Condors and their connection to the Oilers?

Bob Stauffer 0:00

Hey, it's Bob Stauffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. All right, it's 4.36 again. You can chime in on the Ashley Finefloors text line. Your thought to the response from the Edmonton winners last night on Ozzy Weisblatt after a hard hit on Leon Dreisaitl. And I'd like to get your perspectives on Calgary and Edmonton joint bidding and being awarded the 2028 World Cup along with Prague. So Prague will host one pool. Calgary will host the other pool. Calgary will get seven games. Edmonton will get... the semifinal and final of the World Cup. Who would have thunk it back in 2010, 2011, when an afternoon radio host was talking about the fact that if you build it, they will come.

And people were sitting there texting saying, Stauffer, you're an idiot.

What was the reaction to Ozzy Weisblatt's hit and the Oilers’ on-ice response?

Bob Stauffer 0:58

And those were just my family members, okay? You can text us at any time at 780. I want to get this one, though, on the hit before we hook up with Colin Shock. Bob. The fact that the Oilers kept on going after Weisblatt and took a few penalties to send a message was something this team has been missing for a while. The hit by Wallman was beautiful, but no one deserves as much praise as the tank known as Putkolzin. He's all heart and impossible not to love. The only thing that could top last night will be how they handle the Turtle and the Dirtbag Panthers and their arrogance on Thursday. That type of game could be a season-defining moment. Well, I'm going to tell you, I think last night, I don't think Nicholas Haig thought that Vasily Podkolzin was going to take him up on the fight.

Bob Stauffer 1:46

And by the way, that was towards the end of his shift for Podkolzin. But I liked it that both Kapanen and Podkolzin went after Weisblatt right away. And I'll give Haig credit for stepping up for his teammate. Good for him. But is there anybody surprised that Bukolzin threw down at this stage of the game? I mean, that's just who Vasily is. It's like the third time he stepped up and fought for his teammates. You know one guy who would love that? He was a pretty good minor pro player, and now he's the head coach of the Bakersfield Condors. And he could put up points, but he didn't take any crap out on the ice. In fact, I think the word got used today in the press conference by a member of Calgary's group.

Bob Stauffer 2:25

It rhymes with bit. Anyways, he didn't take any, yeah, that word. Colin Chalk for Equus, Alberta's largest power co-op. Choose community, choose Equus at EQUS.ca. Hello, Colin. How you doing? I'm doing well, Bob. Thanks for having me on. How about yourself? Good. Now, did you watch the Oilers game last night? Yes, I did. Did you have any problem with how immediately the Oilers responded until they hit on dry settle?

Colin Chaulk 2:51

No, I thought it was great. It's, you know, the game, as you said in the introduction, had a lot more of that. And the game has evolved, and it's offensive, and it's, you know, the speed is amazing. And you need to have people police the game, and the Oilers sure did that last night.

Bob Stauffer 3:09

Yeah. You got a couple guys that can do that down on the minors. And the problem right now for Edmonton is Edmonton has no wiggle room in cap space. We didn't get much of an update on Leon Drysaddle today. You know, they had Szymanski centering, put Colson and Kapanen at practice today. I mean, I don't want to – I have no idea whether – put it this way. I might suggest to you, I think it might be unlikely that he plays tomorrow. But you've got toughness. The owners don't have wiggle room just to recall a guy like Brown up for the game on Thursday. But maybe you said something there. The game has gone to more skill today. you still need to stand up for one another on the ice, don't you, as a team?

Colin Chaulk 3:53

Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, there was – I would just call it, you know, the policemen, right? Like there was more guys that policed the game, right? And if you hit a Leon or a Connor, so to speak, right, you knew you had to answer to four or five guys.
