We can comment on your thoughts on the Olympics. Connor McDavid, as he's separated from everybody else in the tournament, do you have any concerns about Canada going into tomorrow's game against Finland?
Yeah.
And I will tell you that T-Hubs Texas, and I brought up the fact, should have had Bouchard to play with McDavid, could have had McCarr to play with McKinnon, would have had two attack baselines. A bunch of you said, Stauffer, I'm sick about hearing about having Bouchard. And you know what? I get it because I've brought it up, and I'm concerned that ultimately Canada will be undermined by its lack of transition defensemen. T-Hop says, Bob, you're not overthinking it. Team Canada was underthinking it, and safe is death. Let's go to Wild Bill on line number two. Wild Bill, how are you? Hey, Bob. How's it going? Hey, you want to talk about Olympics?
I was going to talk Oilers again. Well, you waited a long time, so have at it. Okay, well, I'm wondering again, I talked to you about this before, why do the Oilers still not have somebody that body checks? And I realize, you know, there's kids and everybody wants to do Michigan, but can you not go to the AHL and find a guy and trade for a guy that body checks and that... and runs his mouth and fights and does that kind of stuff? Is it that hard? And do the Oilers think that's important even?
I think they think they have a guy coming in, Connor Klatenberg, but there's no question the team... I personally believe the team got a little... lacked a little bit of energy in the final three weeks going into the Olympic break. They were quiet. They were behind early in games. I hear you're saying, I mean, this is the show that talked about what John Cooper in Florida did with Scotty Bowman because he did the same thing with the Montreal Canadiens back in 75. He said, I've had enough of this BS with the Flyers. Let's go in and brawl them in the spectrum in preseason. And they brought up all their tough guys out of the minors and they never had problems with Philly again. And I am a believer. Especially, like, you know what?
What did the U.S. do against Germany? They ran Leon. Brady Kachuk ran him. Matthew Kachuk was in his grill. I got to tell you, I wonder whether or not that's not part of what they might do against the McDavid line, is they might try to go after Connor McDavid and Macklin Celebrini. Now, Canada does have Sam Bennett. Canada does have Tom Wilson to hit back. The Germans didn't really have that. I still think it's part of the game, man. I got to tell you. I still think it's part of the game.
Didn't Philly do that to Connor early in the year? Weren't they like, you know, chirping him and in his face, all that stuff? Yeah. That's why they're so boring to start the game. That's why they're so slow to start the game. You get somebody else. You used to have an energy line. You throw out the energy line right away. They dump the puck in and run somebody and chirp the other bench and everybody's jacked up to play, right?
