What is the purpose of Oilers Now and how can listeners access the ad‑free version?
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.
There's bang a roll
Welcome everybody. Glenn Campbell, number one, forty-eight years ago today. Uh with that song, of course he passed away a few years ago. Um unequivocally uh was at the height of um the paparazzi when he was dating a woman more than two decades younger than him, Tanya Tucker, during the early nineteen eighties. But that song was huge. Huge uh back in the day. This is orders now. Bob Stoffer with you along with Brendan uh Escott, Eamon Hashin, who um he knew he knew who Glenn Campbell was. You did you knew who it was, right, man? Like you that's right up your alley, isn't it? You're I'm sorry to disappoint. You never You never heard of I
didn't
know. Yeah, no idea. Brennan, what about y I think we've played that song before it opened a show. I haven't heard that. I am a lineman for the county. He had was another big song for him back in the day as well. He uh the guy had a lot of style. He was there was no question. Uh uh, maybe I'm just dating and aging out here on Oilers Now as we speak. It is Oiders Now brought to you by our title sponsor, World of Spa's. Oilers now live from the Play Alberta Broadcast Center, Play Alberta dot C. When you play in Alberta, it stays in Alberta, please play responsibly. Off day for the Evantoiders today. Tomorrow the team will fly to Salt Lake. Brent Griffiths will host Oilers now. And the Oilers will play back-to-back games against teams that are struggling on the special teams.
Both teams without a lot of stops. Colorado's got the worst save percentage in the league. That's who Evanson plays Saturday in Denver. And it'll be Salt Lake Friday night for the first time ever. Coming up on today's show, we're going to play a couple clips from Oilers. General Manager Stan Bowman. We are also uh gonna have uh Pierre Le Brun join us from TSN and the Athletic at four thirty-five.
How does the upcoming Salt Lake road trip affect the Oilers’ schedule and match‑ups?
Still nothing on the David Yurichek file. And I'm wondering whether or not the landscape has uh changed a bit. Uh and maybe the Blue Jackets have gone from looking uh for a similar minded prospect. Two picks. That might be one of the things that's out there. So Pierre Lebrun at four thirty five with his assessment of all things Edmonton Oilers at the quarter pole. Well no, it's the quarter mark. It's not technically the quarter if you're into horse racing, you know the quarter pole is not a quarter of the way through the race. Okay? Uh the culture hockey's David Staples coming down the pipe at five oh five. And then a conversation about a significant change with the NCAA and how it is going to impact junior hockey.
Major junior hockey junior A. Nebraska Omaha head coach Mike Gabonette will join us at five thirty five. Mike is uh the grandson Of Emmetton's sporting legend and hockey hall of famer, uh Claire Drake, who unfortunately passed away a few years ago, um, and Mike coached at night before he went back to his alma mat uh at uh Nebraska, Omaha, first as an assistant. He's in year eight as the head coach at that program. And I would expect Nebraska, Omaha to be the type of team that would really explore lots of options, be it current major Major junior players or maybe recently graduated major junior players that are playing youth sports. So Mike Gabinet coming up at five thirty five. You're gonna want to hear this conversation.
Uh because the players, Brennan, the players have more options as a result. Like we're already seeing a paradigm shift. You did those games to the Sherrod Park. I don't even know what league is Sherrod Park Crusaders now in. Are they in the B C league? Are they in the Alberta League? What league are they in right now? B C Okay. And the B C League has seen massive departures from their teams here over the last uh week and a half, ever since this announcement's c like you have kids that are leaving the B C H L teams. Going to major junior teams in Canada or in or like in the WHL or the OHL that are already committed to N C double A scholarships after.
