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.
My name is Bryn Griffiths. I do this every once in a while just for fun. because it is fun. And thanks for being with us today. I'm really looking forward to the show. We've got a lot of great guests coming up. I've got to tell you, coming up at around 4.18 this afternoon, we'll check in with Ron McLean from Hockey Night in Canada to talk about Hockey Day in Canada, which goes tomorrow. Starts at 11 o'clock in the morning for us here on the Mountain Time Zone and then wraps up around 11.30 in the evening in the Mountain Time Zone after Scott Oak. is done talking to somebody special after the Oil or Canuck game tomorrow night, which starts at 8 o'clock our time. So lots to talk with in terms of Ron McLean's been doing this since it started.
They've done 25. This is the 26th edition of this. It is coming from Moncton. So we'll check in with Ron coming up at around, like I said, about 418. 435 this afternoon. Brian Burke will join us. OK, lots of big signings going on in the baseball world. Like I'm not talking big. I'm talking monstrous in terms of cash.
Who is guest Ron MacLean and why is he on Oilers Now today?
They have kind of a unique system. A lot of it's deferred money. Can you imagine? Well, one, if you were a smaller market team in Major League Baseball, you'd probably be flipping out. Because there's no way you're going to be able to keep up with the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. I don't even know if the Toronto Blue Jays, who have missed two opportunities here, were not going to be able to go after anybody. I want to talk to Berkey about this, because Berkey was around when the NHL went with the salary cap and what the goal was to make sure that the game was somewhat... competitive in terms of salaries and that kind of thing. So we'll talk to Berkey about that and other things. Ryan Rashog from TSN and the Got Your Back podcast joins us at 5.05.
When and how will Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada be broadcast from Moncton?
And we'll talk about the game last night. And David Staples from the Cult of Hockey comes your way at 5.35 this afternoon. So lots of hockey talk, little baseball talk, because I see some parallels here. We'll get to that and much more. Don't forget the River Cree Resort and Casino Hotline is open to you at 780-451-8800. Don't miss Canadian legend and comedian Brett Butt coming up at River Cree Resort on the 30th of January. Still think there's some tickets available.

How you doing today? I'm good, Bryn. How are you? Fine, thank you. Did you enjoy the game last night?
Yeah, it was fun to see Matthew Schaefer live for the first time. That was kind of the highlight of my night because, well, Ilya Sorokin had bad plans for the fans who attended that game at Rogers Place last night.
Hey, one thing, too, watching him as you did, very, very calm for a young guy. Doesn't make a lot of mistakes, doesn't panic an awful lot in his own zone. He was fun to watch. All right, let's get to today's top story, which is brought to you by Legacy Heating and Cooling, home of no payments and no interest for one full year. That is how you build a legacy, Legacy Heating and Cooling. Where do you want to dig in first?
