What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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. This is Oilers Now presented by World of Spas, jam-packed edition of the show. Full preview coming up, the slumping Winnipeg Jets. They have won just one of 14 games. This is a team that won the President's Trophy last year. They finished first in the National Hockey League in the regular season. They are currently last in the National Hockey League. And I forget which brilliant individual said it, but if you ain't first, you're last. Well, they're last. They're going to try to dig themselves up. They've only won one of their last 14 games. This is a good team. They just can't win games right now.
It's quite something.
What is the game preview for Oilers vs Jets and why are the Jets struggling?
So we'll have a full preview of the matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and the Winnipeg Jets. The Oilers have beaten the Jets 6-0. And 3-1 this season. Probably did not deserve to win 10 days ago by a score of 3-1. Jets pumped 42 shots at Edmonton Oilers. Calvin Pickard. Pickard gave Edmonton maybe his best start as an Oiler with 41 saves en route to that victory that night. Regular Thursday contributors to the show. From Hockey Night in Canada, their host for Century Casino, Rod McClain. For Cam and Lauren and the team at GCL Diesel, great catching up with them yesterday on route to Winnipeg. Oiler Sportsnet color analyst, Louis DeBrusque. And at 4.35 today, a man of, an international man of mystery.
Because we can't find any photos of him. At least that's the game we're kind of playing with. Bruce Kerlock, who does excellent work writing. and putting video packages together as well about Edmonton Oilers prospects, Bruce Kerlock at 435.

And it's been awesome. Get all the advertisers that step up and help support Oilers Broadcasting and this show. And the wonderful thing about it is that not everybody agrees on everything in terms of how the teams run or who should be playing in terms of ice time or maybe technically how the team should be. Oh, Bob, I'm fan of man-to-man defense. Well, I like zone defense. And not everybody shares the same political views. But people with an IQ over 85 can hear dissenting opinion once in a while. And 99.8% of you listening to the show right now are capable of doing that right now. And that's the beauty. You don't have to agree with me on anything. Tell me how I'm wrong. The Oilers, where are they at right now?
How have recent Oilers vs Jets meetings gone and who stood out in the last matchup?
What do you think? How good is this team? I'm here to tell you, I'm not sure we know yet. The team's never been completely healthy. It's had a road-heavy schedule and this compressed schedule. And then it's got Connor McDavid going supersonic gin and tonic. 17 goals, 39 points on a 16-game point streak. It's crazy. So you can text us on the Ashley Five Flores text line, 780-451-8800. Find the new floors you always wanted, 143rd Street, 111th Avenue, or head to ashleyfinefloors.com for more information. What do you think? How good are they? Do we know how good they are? Are they a team that's been there, done that, knows how to elevate their game crunch time? Now, they are in quite the run here, let me tell you, and I can prove it.
In Winnipeg tonight, fly back from Winnipeg to Edmonton, LA Kings tomorrow. The Kings are here tomorrow, and then LA's in Edmonton on Saturday. Then the Oilers have five games in seven days. So they'll fly to Chicago on Sunday. They play the Hawks Monday, Nashville Tuesday. Shout out to everybody from the Oilers Now Road Trip that we're looking forward to seeing with New West Travel Tuesday in Nashville.
