Bob Stauffer 0:00

Hey, it's Bob Stoffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. The Ebbington Oilers, uh I mean I'm telling ya, if you had been in that building last night, if you had been in the press box last night. At the end of the first period, there were media members there that were renting to anoint the Florida Panthers the Stanley Cup champions. They had scored Ten of the last eleven goals in the series. The Edmonton Oilers were in they were on the ropes, man. There's no other way to say it. We actually had Media pundits tweet after the first period. Choke job. Well, in the end. The oilers They got unverclemped, if you know what I'm saying. Who knows what got said?

Bob Stauffer 0:52

We'll never know. Well maybe we will know. Uh but Cory Perry, by all reports, uh had some very interesting comments at the end of the first period. The players referenced it postgame. And the Edmonton Others did something that had not been done since nineteen nineteen. One hundred and six years ago, rallying as a road team from a three nothing deficit in the Stanley Cup final. And so it is. It is now a best of three. I'm telling you right now, I know it's gonna be lit tomorrow night at Roger's place. I hope you're lit. Because this has been it is gonna be a once in a lifetime experience. The last two years. Come on, man. Just think about we got Brennan and Scott. Brendan and Derek Scott uh Brennan, great work on that by the way.

Bob Stauffer 1:42

I know you and Derek, I reached out to you guys last night. Um Well y you know, you're a relatively young man. You might look back at this in twenty five if the orders ultimately do go on to win the Stanley Cup. you might we might look back at that game as the proverbial turning point. And I I think for a lot of the you know, the the listeners out there

How did Cory Perry’s comments after the first period impact the team’s mindset?

Bob Stauffer 2:06

And we are gonna do open line time. I wonder how many people thought They're done. after the first period. There and then to think of giving up a goal, you you get up, you score four straight, you go up four three, you give up a goal in the final twenty seconds. You s many people are probably thinking again, Oh They're done again. Right, Florida's gonna score in overtime. And then Dry Saddle, fourth overtime goal in one playoff year. Manual, man. This this is You know, it's funny. And I I'll bring in but I had a player say to me, Now did you go right to the air to go to your show? And I go, Yeah. You know, like Jack and me had a couple one wins in twenty one game runs. And we'd land and I do the noon to show uh two show, Brendan, and we'd land at three o'clock and four o'clock in the morning 'cause we'd fly after the games in the regular season.

Bob Stauffer 2:55

But in the playoffs, you don't 'cause you don't know when you're playing, like you don't know how long the game's gonna go that night, right? And I remember a couple of times guys said to me, Oh, you poor blank, you you have to, you know, go in and do a show. I go, Well, they love the team, man. Whether or not you're you just have to take a little bit of crap when the team wins one and twenty one. These are the gravies. Of course I'm coming in to do this show. This is awesome. This experience is incredible. You know, and and you're gonna there is gonna come a time you're gonna look back at this and go, How about these two years? And how about the series against These two teams.

Brendan Escott 3:28

Yeah, and th listen, this is the way that I imagine it was like when you know, when you talk about even the oh six run, but especially the eighties days, like I I'm trying to make a real concerted effort to remember that these are our version of that right now. And it's not to say that they're almost over. We're probably smack dab in the middle of it in some rate, but um I what it proved to me last night was ultimately they are not running Into this unstoppable force of a Florida Panthers team. I might have had this sensation building the way that, as you say, in 10 of 12 goals, they were dominating that series. But I don't feel necessarily like this is insurmountable. Not the way that they came back, not the way that they were able to rebound from having surrendered that last-minute goal as well.
