Hello, Chris, it's Bob. How you doing? Good, good. Uh all those Saint Louis kids in that twenty sixteen drafted Ebington finally got one. Trent Frederick.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's uh I think he's excited. You know, I think obviously got a chance to play in in a number of playoffs in Boston, got to the Stanley Cup final and Um, you know, now here coming full circle. Uh exc I think he's uh excited to have an opportunity to play with uh players in in Edmonton, obviously the two superstars, McDavid and and Dreisidal, but uh Uh they're obviously seeing the run last year and and uh looking at their team personally, you know, they just need to kind of figure figure out and find their way.
What does Pronger think about the newly‑acquired forward Trent Frederic?
They uh they seem like they've hit a little bit of a lull.
Oh, they've been in OL. I mean, it's funny, Chris. Connor McDavid got suspended in a game in Vancouver, had the incident at the end of the game. That's kind of when you and me started, you know, talking a fair amount more. And uh the orders responded. The next game out against Washington. Washington's a real good, heavy, big, tough team.

And I know we had the Four Nations face-off and McDavid played there and uh you know Eckholm played there and it took a lot out of them.

We were in St. Louis, they didn't play that well, but David helped them sneak out a uh a victory. That happens sometimes even to good teams during the course of the season, doesn't it? That you'll go through. Yeah.
Absolutely. You know, and and and you'll win games that you shouldn't Oh in and then you'll you'll also lose games that you should win. And you know, and you touched on that a little bit ago too. And uh, you know, that that's the ebbs and flow of a long season, a grind season like like we're having. Um, you know, I I I do think it's put up or shut up time now, they gotta kinda figure out the brand of hockey that they're gonna play, what type of team they're gonna be, what's their identity. I think people lose sight of Every year is different. And and just because they went to the finals last year and
