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. We're going to get back to the Ashley Finefloors text line momentarily. Coming up, we'll hear from Ron McLean about the NHL playoffs road to the cup for Sentinel Storage. Try four weeks free. Visit SentinelStorage.ca for details. We will also mention to you that guests and owners now receive gift certificates to Japanese Village. It's a true celebration for the census, quality ingredients, and an unmatched... Well, of course, the big news today, the Edmonton Oilers parting ways with head coach Chris Knobloch and assistant coach Mark Stewart.
Knobloch led the Oilers to two Stanley Cup Finals appearances, Stewart joining the team at the beginning of the season. The Vancouver Canucks have made some front office decisions, hiring Ryan Johnson as the squad's new general manager. He's been in charge of their AHL affiliate for a while, and the Sedin twins have been named as co-presidents of hockey operations. Two games on the NHL slate today. One team looks to put the other on the brink tonight as the Montreal Canadiens play the Sabres in a 2-2 series in Buffalo. And the Vegas Golden Knights have a shot at closing out their series with the Anaheim Ducks tonight on the road. they hold a 3-2 series lead.
All right, let's go back into the Ashley Fine Floors text line. It's 780-451-8800. Bob, great show as always. Well, we got you fooled, don't they? I wonder, does Chris Knobloch win a Stanley Cup before the Oilers, McDavid, or Drys settle? Again, you can text us at 780-451-8800. Uh... The Oilers need two D, two forwards, and a new goalie. And for number 10 to find his heart, let's go Oil. Again, you can text us at 780-451-8800. This text comes in saying... Bob, there's an old country song. It's not what I did. It's what I didn't do. Seems fitting from Jason and Sangudo. I've never actually heard that song.
What recent coaching changes occurred for the Edmonton Oilers?
I do have a favorite song kind of like that that I'm going to get Eamon to pull up here momentarily. It's the Grapes of Wrath and All the Things I Wasn't. So, Eamon, get that baby queued up, and we'll poke out a few more texts here in the Ashley final. Well, that was Jason from Sangudo. Like, we got all these guys. We got, you know, we got my main man, Mitch, from Westlack. We got the mayor of Vagerville, Barry, right? We got Trent, you know, the king of the Duke. And we got two dudes from Sangudo, which are like two of the threes. Bob, do you know if the power grid is up in Sangudo? Sorry, I can't tell you that right now. Have they been knocked down power out there? Is that what's occurred? It's possible, the way the wind's going.
Can you go and check? Are sort of the power grid locations out there? Okay. Okay. This text comes in, Bob, I'm confused as to why everyone is so mad about the Oilers and Cassidy being linked, saying it's wrong for Knobber.
How did Chris Knobloch's coaching impact the Oilers' performance?
This happens with player trade speculation all the time. That's part of the game, baby. That text comes in on the Ashley Finefloors text line. Let's also not forget, that Jay Woodcroft was coaching the Edmonton Oilers while Chris Knobloch was interviewing after the Oilers received permission from the New York Rangers before Chris Knobloch came to the Edmonton Oilers. I'm sure Chris fundamentally understands that. Again, you can text us at 780-451-8800. Nunya says this move was for the best. We always admired teams like Vegas for being ruthless in how they managed their personnel. Reading between the lines of 97-29 and others, this team was begging for accountability and better systems and structure.
You know, and that's the funny thing about this. Aiden, I came back after the Oilers lost game six. We did the show here. The five to six hour, at least 75% of the texters and the callers in the show wanted a change in the coach. At least 75%. So keep that in mind. All right. We'll try to work in now. And please, I apologize if we can't. There's literally hundreds of texts coming in in 15-minute blocks. Bob, I cannot help but think 29 to 97 have their collective fingerprints all over this.
