What is the opening preview and background for the Oilers vs. Blue Jackets game?
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.
And welcome everybody. This is Oilers Now. Bob Stoffer with you. The Columbus Blue Jackets are in town for Dead in Ohio. Not about Ohio State, but about Kent State. At a time in it's one of the greatest protest songs ever written by uh Crosby, Stells, Nash, and Young, and uh chronicled uh the shooting by the National Guard of uh protesting students, uh killing four and injuring nine others. Now there is some significant sports connections uh to Kent State uh at that time. Uh arguably the greatest college football coach in history was a player at Kent State and was going to go down to the quad uh to be involved in the protest, uh, but uh was actually having lunch in his dorm and missed the shooting. Uh that player
was Nick Sabin and the coach of the program at Kent State has probably one of the greatest coaching trees in the history of uh college football. Oh, and he was Warren Moon's coach. Uh but the coach at Kent State at that time was the legendary Don James, uh, who would go on and coach the Washington Huskies when Warren Moon won the Rose Bowl before coming uh to the Edmonton Eskimos. There you go. That's uh part of what you get on Stoffer's uh orders now show whether or not you want it or not. Just wanna send a special shout out by the way to everybody yesterday that participated in Santa's Day for eight ED Ched and uh Santa's anonymous. Uh we have an incredible amount of uh generous and giving people in this market and it is uh never lost on me that that is the case.
We got the Blue Jackets in town. The owners better be ready to play tonight. This is not going to be an easy game. They this team is vastly improved under the coaching of Dean Evis. And who um speaking of coaching and coaching trees played for I I'd say he was a bit of an ed Edmonton sporting icon, but uh the late uh Bill LaForge with the uh Camloops Blazers black back in the day and the Blue Jackets suffice to say have completely exceeded expectations. They had a lot of injuries last year. Uh they've got a lot of young talent. They got some skill.
How does Coach Chris Knobloch evaluate Zach Hyman’s return to the lineup?
They can score. And they're certainly scoring a lot more than the others. They're eighth in the league and goals for three point four six. Edmonton is eighteenth in the league. The league right now in goals for two point eight eight. This is Oilers Now. It's brought to you by World of Space. We're in the uh Play Alberta Broadcast Center, playAlberta.ca.
