How you doing?
Bob, I'm doing great. I'm hoping I don't float away. We've got a torrential downpour uh on top of uh a couple of tornado warnings. So uh inclement weather is upon us.
Uh I don't know I'm sure I've never brought this up with you, but my next door neighbor in Eventon in nineteen eighty seven was the police chief Leroy Cholly. And uh May uh july thirty first, nineteen eighty seven, we have Black Friday here and the second worst tornado uh in terms of uh killed twenty-seven people uh in oil country in one day and it was just I I remember how devastated Leroy was. Uh I was actually believing Believe it or not, Chris, I was talking to Leroy about joining the force around that time and he told me we didn't use terms like PTSD, but several of his members, super tough guys, and they were just crushed uh on the after effects about what happened. So it just shows you it it was a sa I I know there was one in Regina like nineteen twelve that was m uh had a couple more deaths, but it was just awful.
So and Missouri has had a couple of huge tornadoes in about the last fifteen years, haven't they? Yeah, haven't they? Yeah. Absolutely so
it's been uh it's been a little crazy.
All right, uh so stay safe. We do have the commissioner coming up. And we also have got Wayne Gretzky in this uh hours. So what's it like to be uh the leadoff hitter for that group?
I'll display a bunch on the uh third baseline and try to get on for those big hitters.
Those big hitters. Yeah, you know, some would say, Chris, this is an elite show, uh hosted by a very average guest, but or by an average host. I am in the
presence uh I am in the presence of an elitist, so we're all set.
All right, it's our little inside joke. H how do you see the Stanley Cup final between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers, Chris?
I uh I personally like Where the oilers are trending, I like how they have played. In the lead up to this Finals as opposed to last year where They rode the backs of Connor McDavid and Leon Tricydle the whole way. Uh playing them twenty eight, thirty minutes a night. Uh you could see in the finals Dreysidel was not himself. Uh and I uh as opposed to this year, where uh they've They've largely run four lines, you know, three lines plus uh, you know, fourth line at times and six defensemen, seven defensemen with Stetcher added in there, who was excellent. Um you know, I this team I think is much improved and and much More reliable than last year. They've been able to win games on solely on their defensive play.
Uh, which you could not say in years past. Uh so they've been able to win hockey games in in different ways and Uh having uh let's see those two dynamic players who can score on every shift sometimes too, it seems like, or have the opportunity to. I think that just gives them the secondary scoring the you know, the the the one down, uh the one negative is is obviously the loss of Hyman.
