Text us on the Ashley Five Floors text line, 780-451-8800. What other series are you most compelled to watch? For me, it's Montreal-Tampa. They've been going at it. The Oilers playoff series, by the way, the least penalized per game so far. I mean, geez, there were a couple minors. Not a lot of animosity, not a lot of stuff after the whistle. Obviously, Montreal-Tampa Bay were going at it all game long.

Bob Stauffer 2:10

You take a look at what occurred with the – Minnesota Wild and the Dallas Stars. Minnesota's got a tough, nasty team. There's no question. Minnesota's going to be a tough out for whoever they play. It'll be intriguing to see if Anaheim ends up taking us down a path. He exists. He's real. He's live. It's unreal here. It's a Bruce Kerlock signing. He will be joining us, but we might get extended Bruce Kerlock time. But at this time, we're going to go into the Oilers Now Audio Vault for Direct Workwear.

All right, let's get to our sit-down one-on-one conversation with Edmonton Oilers head coach Chris Knobloch. Joined by Edmonton Oilers head coach Chris Knobloch, game two tonight, Edmonton and Anaheim. Support scoring, the difference of the day in game one of the series, Chris.

Chris Knobloch 3:10

Absolutely, our depth guys, even though the captain is playing on the second line, he's been previously, you know, down in the lineup on the third, fourth lines. He gets two, had a great game. And then obviously Dickinson, who's more of a shutdown centerman, you know, played a really strong game and obviously scored some two big goals.

Bob Stauffer 3:30

You mentioned Jason Dickinson. He did not take the morning skate today, dealing with a lower body injury. Game time decision for tonight's game?

Chris Knobloch 3:38

Game time decision, yes. Well, Curtis Lazar ready if he can't play, but we're hoping that he's good.

Bob Stauffer 3:44

It's got to be a positive for a team. I mean, you've got Connor McDavid, who's the highest scoring player in the playoffs over the last four years. In fact, the highest scoring player in the league in the playoffs since coming into the NHL. Evan Bouchard, high-scoring defenseman in the league this year, third highest-scoring player in the league over the last four years in the playoffs.
