What are the latest updates on the Oilers and their players?
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. Welcome to Oilers Now, brought to you by World of Spas. Lots to talk about. We will have NHL executive legend Brian Burke for our friends at Ultrashine at 435. At 505 Oilers regional TV analyst Louis DeRusse for GCL Diesel. And at 535 from Vegas, TSN and Got Your Back podcast, Brian Rashog for Game Day Men's Health. Our top story for legacy heating and cooling, home and home payments of no interest for a year. That's how you build a legacy, legacy heating and cooling. Well, for once, we're not going to open up with talking about the ongoing Mike Babcock situation. Nothing to report there, nor the Darnell Nurse trade rumors.
If you've somehow climbed underneath a rock, or maybe you just hate the sport, but the World Cup is on. Canada, a 1-1 tie against Bosnia. Kyle Larian scoring late in the second half of that game. Let's face it, my man, as they bring aboard Aidan Ganim. Canada probably should have won the game. They had some great chances.
Yeah, they were dominant, Bob, from start to finish. That early goal from Bosnia-Herzegovina really hurt them. But, I mean, if you look at the chances, they spent the entire first half in the attacking zone. And then the second half, Bosnia put up a pretty solid fight. But then Canada just bounced right back into it.

So when I grew up as a kid, Canada made it to the 86th World Cup, but they historically have always been... what has been referred to as minnows internationally, okay? Minnows internationally in soccer. I want to know how many people out there listening to the show right here, right now, actually care about the World Cup. Does it matter that's in Canada? Are we in a situation where we're actually starting to get good and competitive? I mean, Alphonso Davies did not play today. He's unquestionably Canada's best player.
He plays on one of the top five club sides on the planet in Bayern Munich. He has dealt with injury. He is supposedly to be available in Game 2 and Game 3 for Canada when they play Qatar. and then switzerland do you care about the world cup have you become because of canada's recent surge up the standings have you become a bit of an international soccer fan i could not as i was driving out of my humble downtown abode okay i was stunned by how many canada shirts were on the streets in the city center as i was driving over the studio today so i want to know have you become a canada fan And most people are fans of the country that they're from. So is there a country that you've always liked? Like I have an affinity for the Dutch, okay?
I always liked, you know, total football. In fact, I called a show once total hockey and then total sports. And that actually derived from total football from Ajax in the early 1970s. and a guy named Rinas-Micals, who later would transport that to Barcelona. It became Tiki-Taka. And that's where Johan Cruyff, who was arguably the best player of the 1970s, played. So this is an opportunity for you to jump in, because it doesn't have to be. We're on a holding pattern right now on the Mike Babcock front. It is a flight from Carolina back to Vegas, game six on Sunday. I'm going to also ask, point blank,
How is the World Cup impacting Canadian soccer fans?
How many of you want to see the Carolina Hurricanes win that? Text us on the Ashley Fine Forest text line at 780-451-8800. What did you think of game five last night?
Just solid. Really, really good game from the Carolina Hurricanes, and they've put themselves in quite the situation here. I like Vegas' odds of coming back just the way that they're built, but I think that the Hurricanes have shown that they have a very serious case to be here, especially after those years of torment in the East Final.
Yeah, so I'm of the volition. Of course, I picked Carolina in sixth to win the series because I thought that their forwards had more pace and tempo.
