What sparked the heated debate between the Canucks and Oilers on Hockey Day?
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.
Oh it's great! Yeah. So man Mm-hmm.
And welcome everybody, Bob Stofford joining you in the 880 Chad Studios. It is 407 in oil country. And uh we're refreshing literally every second on the fly as we wait to find out the final decision of the National Hockey League on one Conor McDavid after a uh conclusion to the game on Saturday night in uh Vancouver. Uh you know, it's always uh spirited out in Vancouver. This is a market, after all, that has had two riots uh from the San. Stanley Cup playoffs, but has yet to celebrate a Stanley Cup championship. Uh at this time. They got a good team this year that's underperformed. It was a highly emotional game on Saturday. The Canucks were good early. They got some calls early. They capitalized early on route uh to a three two victory.
Ebbington for uh seemingly the fourth or fifth game in a row in a position where they tried to rally, were able to rally from two nothing down in Minnesota were able to rally from three nothing down in Denver, Colorado. Could not rally three nothing down against Vancouver. The team practiced today, Connor McDavid had his hearing later uh in in the afternoon today, uh early afternoon today, after the uh practice, McDavid was on his regular line with Nugent Hopkins and Zach Hyman. Connor McDavid, his agent Judd Moldaver, and Edmonton Oilers General Manager Stan Bowman all were part of what it was about a twenty to twenty-five minute long hearing. Interestingly enough, Moldaver also represents the player that McDavid got engaged and involved with at the end of the game with uh Connor Garland.
Here's what we have. So we're waiting to find out what the deal is on the suspension. We're gonna recap the game in Vancouver. We're going to hear from Chris Snoblock. We're going to hear from the newest member of the Amazon Letters, John Klingberg, along with Ryan Nugent Hopkins, all in the first 20 minutes of the show. Frank Saravalli from Daily Faceoff at 435. Back to you on Mondays for Contract Equipment Limited at 505. And then at 535, we're going to get your thoughts. We're going to open it up. We will tell you right here, right now.

And uh the River Cree Resort Casino Hotline. Uh went to Italia for dinner there last night. Uh the River Cree Resort Casino, seven eight zero four five one eighty eight hundred. Don't miss comedian Ben Bankus at the River Cree on January. the thirtieth tickets at the rivercurry resort dot com. We're on X, we're on Twitter at OethersNow. You can tweet me personally, Bob underscore stoffer, and tweet Brendan Escott at Brendan with two E's, Escott with two T's. And again, our top story, well we're waiting for the other shoe to uh drop on a potential uh potential uh suspension. And and it's you know, it was a match penalty. At minimum, it's probably one game. The question is, will it be a two game suspension?
Which would mean that in theory McDavid would uh miss the return engagement with the Vancouver Canucks here on Thursday. The top story for Legacy Heated and Cooling. Home and no payments and no interest for a year. That's a build of legacy legacy heated and cooling. I think we've got Brendan Escott in on the other side. Brendan, how you doing? What's going on? You good to go? Yeah, I think so. Can you
hear me? I got ya. All right, then yes, I am good to go and yeah, that was uh quite the theatrics at the end of that game. Well what did you think of all of it? I think that it could have been mitigated by better officiating. I think that that's the best way that you can put it is i y y you see what game management gets you. If you call the penalties that are sitting in front of you, and we had a pretty good example of that over the course of the Chiefs game against the Texans on the weekend, you see you see one league that taints the outcome of a game at the other end of the spectrum entirely by protecting its stars too much.
