Why does the show start with traffic updates and a preview of the Oilers‑Islanders 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.
Coming at you live from the PlayAlberta broadcast center, playalberta.ca. When you play in Alberta, it stays in Alberta. Please play responsibly. Uh looking at traffic right now between Manhattan and Long Island, it says it's a two-hour and 11-minute journey. I don't know how long it usually is, but uh you'd be uh well on Your way to Calgary by the time uh you got from the hotel to uh UBS Center. I think that's what it's called, where they play the Long Island uh New Yorkers. No, it's the New York Islanders playing host tonight, 5:30 our time. It's Brendan Escott here getting you uh through the first hour of Inside Sports. No, Oilers now. Yeah, that's the knee-jerk reaction that we figured might happen.
And um they got me doing a lot of stuff at the station, you gotta forgive me. But ba basically Bob is stuck in traffic once again. So you and I will get set for the Oilender Holy, the Oilers and the Islanders. Let's just bump the brakes a little bit. The Oilers and the Islanders tonight, 530 on uh 880 Chad. How you doing? You doing as well as I am? I'm jacked up for this game. Why, though? Because the Oilers have been struggling. Well, because it's another opportunity, and uh it'll be against a good goaltender tonight, Nelia Sorokin. But it's another opportunity for them to take a step out of the uh the ditch where they've been and get Back on track. And it's sorta gone two games uh backwards, one game forward.
So I think it's time for them to take a step forward tonight against uh an Islanders team that sits outside the Eastern Conference playoff picture as it stands right now. You want to get in touch with any opinion you may have? It's welcome at 780-451-8800 on the Ashley Fine Floors text line.
How did the Oilers perform in the loss to the New Jersey Devils?

Bob is at Bob underscore stoffer and myself at Brendan Escott. That's Brendan with an E. Escott with two T's. It is a game day, the Oilers and Islanders. That is your top story brought to you by Legacy Heating and Cooling, home of no payments and no interest for one year. That's how you build a legacy. Legacy heating and cooling. You gotta start figuring out a way to pick up some points here because uh last night, last night they coughed up a game that they had a two-to-one lead in in the third period. Gave up the tying goal a couple minutes later. After scoring in the third, and believe me, the the barrage of shots, the 18 shots in the third period, they were close to uh to at least getting that game tied and into the extra frame, but it was a game they probably shouldn't have put themselves in a position to lose in the first place.
So how did it all sound? Well, let's hear that inside our audio vault.

Second game of the road trip as the Oilers take on the New Jersey Devils. Up to the top of the circle. Hughes will get it out. Maybe an odd man rush. Puck brought in on the left side. He sure will shoot it. Save made by Skinner. Puck back to the blue line. Pratt with a shot. Saved by Skinner. Rebound scores. Following it up was Cashi, and he makes it 1-0 for the Devils. Gets to the point where Kulak will keep it in. To McDavid, left wing. DriveSidall shoots goers. Leon drives idle on the left side. Ties this game at one.
What did Coach Chris Knoblauch say about the Oilers’ effort and what needs to improve?
That's an NHL leading 47th goal of the season for the King of Leon. Wallman across the line to Bouchard. Bouchard a shot. A little snapshot from the right wing point by Bouchard may have been deflected, and the Edmonton Oilers have a 2-1 lead. To the blue line to Petchy. Now on the right wing to Bratt. Skates across the top of shot. Scores. Bratt let it go. Lots of traffic. And this game's tied at two. Sent to the blue line by Bratt.
