Turned out we did seven out of a possible eight hours from 10 until 6 o'clock, and we had a lot of fun. The energy was there, no question. You know what you got to do when that happens?

What did Stan Bowman tell Bob about the Oilers' plans and when is the full interview airing?

Bob Stauffer 2:31

Devin Levi 2:48

You've got a few during the show, too.

You know, certainly Darnell Nurse said yesterday when he did an availability, a Zoom interview in San Jose, it was time. And you know what? When a player asks for a trade, it was time. I don't think there's any... Maybe you just get tired about hearing your name out there with, you know, $9.25 million, which is not to say that Darnell Nurse wasn't a good teammate. Darnell Nurse... wasn't tough and didn't stand up for his teammates and, you know, send messages once in a while. The one thing that did happen to Darnell Nurse that changed from the time that he signed that contract extension...
