Hey, good afternoon, everybody. It's Bryn Griffiths filling in for Bob, who is jetting to Smashville, where the Oilers will take on the Nashville Predators, the so sorry, the winless Nashville Predators against the one win Edmonton Oilers. That's coming up tomorrow at six. We'll have the pregame show for you at five. We'll get into that a little bit later on. But it's uh nice to be with you on the show today. We'll carry you right through until six o'clock and then uh Hey, Brendan will be in with Inside Sports. But on our show coming up this afternoon at 435, Pierre LeBron for Riverside Honda and Skidoo will be joining us. We'll be talking to Pierre about well, there's all sorts of great NHL stories going on right now.

Bryn Griffiths 1:45

We're gonna get to a couple of them coming up in a couple of minutes. And then at 505 NHL Insider John Shannon for Legacy Heating and Cooling will be joining us. We talk to John frequently on the previous. Game show and there's lots of things going on around the NHL behind the scenes. So John will bring us up to speed. For example, at Prime, the new Prime Hockey Telecast on Monday night. I don't know how it went, I didn't see it. But John, of course, with his deep background in television sports, in particular National Hockey League coverage on television, like to get his insider thoughts on how that went and why they're going to be a little bit more. Is it you know, I know that in the Canadian constitution, I believe now I could be wrong on this one, I believe in the constitution every Canadian has the right to free games on television.

Bryn Griffiths 2:35

No, I actually I don't know if that exists or not, but we'll talk to John about the fact that, you know, more and more streaming channels are picking up more NHL broadcasts. So the question is, there was a time when we did have pay-per-view games, right? I remember that. And then people said, Well, I don't want to do that.

What upcoming guests and topics are announced for the pre‑game show?

Bryn Griffiths 2:50

I don't want to pay to watch hockey when I can get it for free. Well, I'm just wondering how much longer we're gonna be able to hang on to these free games. I I pay for the center ice package because I want to see. Also, the Edmonton Oil Kings seem to be notably better than they were last year, and that's exciting. So we'll be talking with Oil King General Manager and President of Hockey Operations Kurt Hill. That's coming up at five thirty-five and uh lots of other stuff. Well, Aidan Gannem's in the studio with me today. How you doing? How's it going, Brent? I'm good. I'm hey, everything's great. Everything's fantastic. I'm a little tired though from the beating the uh that we all take. Those of us who watch the Edmonton Oilers very carefully, fans, media, the players, coaches.

Bryn Griffiths 3:37

That was one long seven day stretch from the start of the season to today. And it uh It all boiled down to officials and the fact that the team was a little soft out of the gate. So we'll get to that coming up in a couple of moments. We also got to tell you the River Creek Resort and Casino hotline is 780-496-0063.
