What does Bob Stoffer announce at the start of the show?
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.
I mean he walking in front of the net. He'll walk up Sky!
The
latest news on your team. Alright, two bits of business for you. Well, one bit of conjecture, but first a bit of business. The hottest guests in the game.
To be a general manager in this league, every now and then you gotta do something outside of the box. Access you won't get anywhere else.
Connor McDavid is not gonna be denied.
At some point, he's just gonna pick this team up and put it on his back.
This is Leon Dreysettle. I've darned Oil Nerds. This is Ryan Eugene Hopkins. Hi, this is Conor McDavid from your Edmund Oilers. And
this is Oilers Now with Bob Stoffer. Brought to you by World of Spas on your home for Oilers Hockey. 630 chair. Now, here's Brandon Escott.
Sorry, yes, I am here. It is uh a wonderful Wednesday. It's Oilers Now, brought to you by World of Spaws. And uh yeah, Brendan Escott with you just uh I assume, I assume definitely the first hour, and perhaps into the second hour of the show as well. Bob traveling with the team, and they're not really slated to uh go wheels down in the Pacific Northwest until. Well, a few minutes from now is my understanding. So I gotta clear customs. I gotta do a bunch of bureaucratic stuff. You know how it is. So we'll talk instead.
How does the team handle travel and customs before heading to Seattle?
And we will talk over the next couple hours with our NHL insider, John Shannon. He's coming up at uh 4:35. I know you're gonna start looking forward to him as much as you do many of our other esteemed guests, and that is Pierre LeBron. I should say. If you don't already, I mean Pierre LeBrun is a heavy hitter in the hockey insider industry from TSN and the athletic. I know we're thrilled to have him on board for this uh this season here. And my first opportunity to talk to him at 505 today. Seattle Kraken Assistant General Manager Ricky Olchik will also check in at uh 535. Now, if you want to check in, you can do so. At 780-496-0063 on the Ashley Find Floors text line. Get the new floors you've always wanted at 143rd Street, 111th Avenue, or head to AshleyFindFloors.com for more.
The show is on X at OilersNow, Bob at Bob underscore Stoffer, and you can find me at Brendan Escott. That's Brendan with an E, not an A. Some more popular spelling. I just throw that caveat in there each and every time. We do have hockey tonight on the radio. It is an eight o'clock puck drop. The Oilers in Seattle Kraken. Brynn Griffiths will have your uh City Ford face-off show at six. You get an extended one of those tonight. But we're getting down to the final preseason uh games, and that means that we're getting closer and closer to the roster that we all hope to see on opening nights. Now we've got a pretty good idea of what we're going to see this evening. So let's go ahead and jump right into our top story, which is brought to you by Legacy Heating and Cooling, home of no payments and no interest for a year.
That's how you build a legacy, legacy heating and cooling. So essentially, we know that the guys who skated this morning are not gonna play tonight. Ergo, the guys who didn't skate this morning. This morning likely are going to play tonight, and that would mean the debut of Darnell Nurse in theory. Now, if that does happen, they said that he wants to get into one or two of these exhibition games. We have two left. And uh I I'm really excited to see what uh the translation is from the the kind of camp that he has had that we haven't seen in a game setting.
Which players are projected to start together on opening night?
What does that look like in the game setting for? Him, assuming he suits up, and uh there's an indicator that he will. Otherwise, you're you're looking at sort of your top three lines: McDavid, uh Ryan Nugent Hopkins, and Zach Hyman. You've got that second line we're all so curious about in Leon Dreisidel, Victor Arvidson, and Jeff Skinner, and the third line of Adam Henrique, Connor Brown, and Matthias Yannick. Danmark. Now again, looking at who didn't play or didn't practice this morning, there's only five guys out there.
