Who opens the March 30th Oilers Now show and what nostalgia does he mention?
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. Oh, that doesn't take you back to 2001. Aiden wasn't even born back then. That's Pat Monahan and Train, Drops of Jupiter, to open up today. That song was massive in 2001. In that year, I pulled off something that I don't know if you might find this interesting. Welcome, everybody, Oilers Now. And it's not like everything I say you find interesting. In fact, on a lot of days, some of the useless, superfluous information I give you, you know, is quite irrelevant, as this next little bit might. But, Aidan, back in 2001... I went to the University Cup with the University of Alberta Golden Bears.
Team lost. Big upset because they'd won in 99 and 2000 back-to-back national titles. Did the Air Canada Cup. The Royal Bank Cup. So that would have been like the Air Canada Cup at that time, I believe, was what was then known as Midget AAA Championship. I think now we use some U17 maybe is what we call it now.
U18.
Oh, it's U18? Yeah. For my generation, it was U17.
It was the same for me. Literally my last year of hockey, they made the switch.
Okay, so I did the Air Canada Royal Bank, which was the Junior A, and that is at a time in which they did not want the words Tier 2 used to describe Junior A hockey.
What early career memories does Bob share about covering hockey in 2001?
So I did that. I did the Memorial Cup for Sportsnet. which was in Regina, the Red Deer Rebels, coached and owned by Brent Sutter, won the Memorial Cup that year. I did not one, but two different series during the course of the Stanley Cup as well. I did the Oilers and the Dallas series in 2001, which ended up going six games. And I also did games, not as a broadcaster, but in terms of font, chord, and stats behind the scenes, also did part of the Buffalo Series as well in round, I think it was in round three. So I went to all these different sort of levels. It was a pretty cool experience, all things considered. Yeah, drops of Jupiter to open up today's show. Welcome, everybody. The Edmonton Winners practice today was a full practice coming off.
Another solid showing on Saturday, a 4-2 victory over the first-place Anaheim Ducks. The Oilers have closed to within three points. And then on Sunday of Anaheim, and then on Sunday... Boom goes the dynamite on the Vegas Golden Knights. Wow. Bruce Cassidy, Stanley Cup champion coach, out. Of course, the Oilers beat the Golden Knights in five games last year in round two. And in, Mr. Warm and Fuzzy himself, John Tortorella, coming in to coach the Vegas Golden Knights. So there you have it. About eight games left in the regular season for both teams, Edmonton and Seattle. Tomorrow, the Oilers are 14-4 all-time against the Kraken. Today's show, 435. Frankly Hockey's Frank Cervalli. We're going to get him to clear something up that may or may not have.
You never know these days what's true on the whole Twitter versus Internet thing. I tell you, this Internet thing has got a chance to stick around for a while. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I think that might work. Might not be a bad thing. And then from five to six, back from parts unknown in the United States. I'm not quite sure where he was, San Diego. Anyhow, Oilers legend, former general manager, head coach, a three-time Stanley Cup champion with the Oilers here in oil country, won four cups overall. For our friends at Contract Equipment Limited, MAC-T on Mondays, a full hour of MAC-T coming up. Here is how you get a hold of us. You can reach us in the River Cree Resort and Casino hotline, 780-451-8800.
The River Cree has Gowan, Strange Animal, the 40th anniversary, July 2nd. Tickets at therivercreeresort.com. Excitement bet on it. You know what? I'm going to be in town for that show. I am because I think I'm flying out on July 3rd. So we're going to go straight through because I'm planning on a long playoff run, baby. Okay? Because they're just gearing up. They're just getting to go. And you got to believe. And you can see some positive things starting to happen, even without one of the five best players on the planet in Leon Drysaddle.
