Hey, it's Bob Stauffer. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Oilers Now ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime.

Aiden Ganim 0:09

Well, it's been a great start to the year for my pals at Brentridge Ford, but they need quality used vehicles. If you have a vehicle that's in good condition and want to sell it, talk to Johnny or Mark and they'll make sure you're looked after. Of course, they can help you if you want to replace your vehicle as well. Good selection, great prices, and award-winning service. Brentridge Ford, your Ford truck authority on the auto mile. in wataska when you people have really responded uh to the to the text line or on the text line to the conversation me and amin just had about movies i'm gonna read this one because it's a little bit more serious and it was a question that i asked earlier but uh this text from the 780 we need to see what our roster can do and keep the cap space we currently have for the trade deadline and i

Aiden Ganim 0:50

think a lot of people are starting to think the same way as you and I personally think that yeah we should give it a little bit of time give some time to let this roster marinate and decide what to do from there I mean you don't know what can happen there's some young talent on this Oilers team and and you never know who could who could stop up this text is movie related from the 780 I am 55 I've never seen miracle I saw those Olympics you know what I think I think that counts. I think that's pretty fair. I'm not going to pick on you for that. That's really solid. This text from the 403 Youngblood. I've been meaning to watch this movie. I just keep forgetting to. But it's on the list for sure. That's one I'm going to keep an eye on for sure.

Aiden Ganim 1:33

Yeah, another one from Youngblood. Goat was a fantastic sports movie. I have not seen that one either. I'm going to have to watch it.

Eamon Hashim 1:41

I think that just came out. Is that the one with the basketball player? Yeah, Steph Curry might voice the goat.

Aiden Ganim 1:47

Is Steph Curry the voice of the main character in that movie? I think so. I'm learning new things every day.

How did the hosts respond to listener texts about movies and community interaction?

Aiden Ganim 1:54

This person asking me about The Rocket, I have not seen that movie. I should see it. I walk in here walking tall thinking that I know everything about every hockey movie that's ever come out. I don't. I don't know the answer to any of them. Eamon's wagging his finger over at me on the other side of the glass.

Eamon Hashim 2:11

No, I said the wrong thing. Steph Curry produced it. Caleb McLaughlin, who was, what's his name?

Aiden Ganim 2:18

He was the kid in Stranger Things. Yeah.

Eamon Hashim 2:20

He voiced the character.

Aiden Ganim 2:22

Okay. All right, that makes a little bit more sense. The character's a kid. It wouldn't make any sense for some child deer to... I don't know what I'm talking about. Let's get on to the conversation we had today. But before we do, Royal Pizza. The quesadilla has returned, and it is here to stay. Loaded with seasoned chicken, chipotle, mayo, peppers, onions, and cheese for only $15.95. Visit royalpizza.ca. The Edmonton Oil Kings... Well, they had a rough finish to the year against the Saskatoon Blades, but it was a hard fought season and a hard earned season for this team. And a lot of their players ended up getting drafted into the NHL draft this season. So I felt like it was time to have a conversation with the Edmonton Oil Kings.

Aiden Ganim 3:04

We have a weekly spot with usually Jason Smith and Formerly Curt Hill will moving forward probably be Michael Chan as he's the new GM of the team. But this conversation was with Matt Barrett. He is the play-by-play announcer for the squad. And, well, here's our conversation. Joined by Edmonton Oil Kings play-by-play man Matt Barrett. Matt, I appreciate you taking the time to come and join us and talk a little bit about the season that was and the season that's coming for the Edmonton Oil Kings. The last time we talked to anyone from the organization, it was after a devastating loss against the Saskatoon Blades in the first round of the playoffs. Since then, a ton of stuff has happened, but we'll go back to there first.

Aiden Ganim 3:49

What was your overall take on the 25-26 season for the Oil Kings?
