Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
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.
And so we have arrived to that day.
Game five tonight, opening round playoff series, the Edmonton Oilers and the Anaheim Ducks. Bob Stauffer joining you live from Ford Hall. This is Oilers Now Road to the Cup for Sentinel Storage. We got Aidan Ganim here, Jeff Walker back at the And let's get right to it, since I didn't really get a chance to equivocate my feelings. Suffice to say, a disputed goal, you know, it's funny.
There's an old saying, it's a loser's lament to bitch about officiating. Oh, an official never dictates the outcome of a series. I take you back to 2017.
Chapter 2: What is the context of the Oilers vs. Ducks playoff series?
The Edmonton Oilers up 3-0, final five minutes, third period against Anaheim. Playing without a couple of their D-men. as Andre Secker and Chris Russell had been hurt in that game. And the 3-3 game-tying goal was scored in a scramble around the net where Ryan Kessler had his paw, that was the line I used, his hand holding down Cam Talbot's leg.
And the officials didn't catch it, and the Ducks would win it over time. In game 5, 4-3, the Oilers came back, pounded Anaheim here, In game six, that was a game in which Leon Dreissel had a three-goal, five-point performance, and the Ducks won 2-1 in game seven. And apologists for the officials group would say, well, the Oilers could have won game seven, and that's true. But that was a non-call.
It didn't go to Edmonton's way. Conversely, I'm going to work it back the other way. Calgary Flames, 2022. The Oilers tied in the third period. There was a play down low, a bang-bang play in tight. Blake Coleman, puck ricocheted, Lynette. To me, I thought that was a goal. It was a goal. And it was not ruled a goal.
And then Conor McDavid changed the entire course and direction of the Calgary Flames team and organization. I mean, what are they left with now down in Calgary? To sit there and poke shots at Edmonton as their team has been foreign to a playoff spot since then. Edmonton winning in overtime. That was in the fifth and deciding game of the series in 22. So there's one where
Winners didn't get the call in 2017, did get a call in 2022, which brings us to the other night. And, again, since this is my first appearance fully hosting the shows, I'll tell you this right now. Unacceptable what transpired. Sorry. Neither official was in position to make the call. It appeared as though they were influenced by the fans and by the Ducks players. That's what it appeared like.
And any explanation afterwards... You didn't call it on a goal immediately because you weren't in position. If anything, you could have made an argument the play should have been dead.

Chapter 3: What controversial moments occurred in the 2017 playoff series?
It was not, and Anaheim's up 3-1. Now, that doesn't take away from the fact that the Ducks in Games 3 and Games 4 were better than Edmonton. Edmonton's going to be better tonight.

That said, I have a feeling we'll see them. We'll see. Here's Chris Doblock, Oilers head coach. on injuries having an effect on the quality of play from Edmonton.
There's a lot of teams that have injuries and they still continue to play well. I see some of the things that we're doing right now weren't the things that we're doing at the end of the season, regular season. Obviously we're playing a team that's very committed and playoff hockey is another level. Then maybe we're playing a team that was out of the playoffs or... or whatever the matter may be.
Yeah, no, I don't think we've seen the best out of our group, even though there's some circumstances and some guys that are not 100%, but I still think we've got a lot more.
Oilers need to bring their best tonight. When we come back, a former Oiler part of the kid line that was a huge part of an Oilers three games to one rally back in 1990. A long time NHLer. Well, welcome back. Martin Gelina, when we return on Road to the Cup. All right, welcome back, everybody. Tough day today in the hockey world, the broadcast world. It's 3-13 in oil country.
Bob Stauffer in Ford Hall. Back in the mid-1990s, the late John Sexmuth hooked me up with a job with Molestar. And I got to know Larry Isaac and John Garrett. John Garrett was a longtime NHL broadcaster, former NHL goalie. He was one of the funniest men you could possibly meet. He could humble a cocky, at times dumb, late 20s, early 30s guy on the moment's notice.
Unfortunately, John passed away in Utah yesterday covering the Utah series against the Vegas Golden Knights. There's no other way to say it. John Garrett was beloved, especially in the Vancouver market where he did the Canucks for years. He was also Edmonton Oilers color analyst for a number of years. He was, in a word...
beauty he was a great guy we head off to the River career resort casino hotline and welcome back to the show a guy who played over 1,200 games in the National Hockey League including parts of five seasons with the Edmonton Oilers he is currently a development coach for the Calgary Flames we welcome back Martin Gelina hello Martin it's Bob Stauffer how you doing I'm doing good we're looking forward to tonight
And you know something about disputed goals, and you know something about coming back from 3-1 down. So it's quite ironic that we got you on the show today. And I hearken back, and maybe you could provide me some clarity. I was working, wow, this is taking a trip down memory lane, with Darren Detition on Sports Night in 1990 when you guys pulled the comeback back against the Winnipeg Jets.
