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. All right, all right, all right. It's 4.34 in oil country. Again, our top story for Legacy Heating and Killing, Bobby and Steve and the team at Legacy. A report today from Elliot Friedman and Mark Spector. Darnell Nurse asks for a trade, agrees it's time for a fresh start. That's the lead. Again, I want to reiterate the point. This show is called Oilers Now, and you can have whatever opinion you want. A lot of you brought a lot of opinions on the Mike Babcock situation. Many of you did not like it. Now, there's people out there that don't think Babcock was a very good coach the last several years that he was in the NHL.
I would respectfully disagree with that, but that's okay. That's your prerogative. And... We'll see. Again, right now it appears, like the Stanley Cup Finals on, I'm not sure when this situation gets resolved. But anyhow, as for Darnell Nurse, he has become the number one story today in oil country. Good, honest, competitive player. In a perfect world, a second-pairing left-shot defenseman can kill penalties, can play a second power play unit. He is tough.
What are the latest developments in the NHL regarding Darnell Nurse?
He stands up for his teammates. Probably at times tries to do a little bit too much when he activates offensively and has had some up and down moments. But he's been a really good teammate, an important part of this team here in oil country. I don't think there's any question about that. So I do want to get some more thoughts before we go to Ron McLean. But at this time, we're going to go to NHL today for Elite Promotional Marketing. Your local branded merchandise specialist. Head to ElitePromoMarketing.com. And here is Ian Ganim.
Well, the Stanley Cup final is tied at two games apiece. The Carolina Hurricanes host the Vegas Golden Knights in Raleigh, North Carolina tonight for game five. And the Seattle Kraken have made a move in the front office, hiring Canucks ex-GM Patrick Alvine as the team's new vice president of hockey operations and assistant general manager.
All right, Big Bald Tyler says, I like Darnell, but stop me if you've heard this before. The contract's horrendous. His agent gets a big pat on the back for wrestling that out of Ken Holland. Again, you can text us at 780-451-8800. Ali says, Bob, like Danielle Smith, your approval rating has taken a hit this past week. But unlike Smith, you can't get any worse and you will rise again. Thanks, Ali. I think there's a compliment in there somehow, some way. Is that the Ali that we gave the gift cards to? Is that the same one? Well, maybe he's being, I didn't actually check. This text comes in on Darnell Nurse. Scores on his own net more than any defenseman I've ever seen. Bad luck, bad positioning as well. You can text us on the Ashley Fine Floors text line.
Craig says Darnell Nurse can still bring it, and he's got a great shot off the rush. There we go. He will be hard to... I don't think there's any question about that. Sam from Saskatoon says, hypothetically, if Nurse was traded before July 1st, Then the Oilers could keep Jason Dickinson. Well, I think the Oilers are interested in both Connor Murphy and Jason Dickinson. I liked what Connor Murphy did. Now, I've got to ask you a question. Did you do a good job cleaning up this Ron McLean interview? Because there were portions at the start that were not fair. We made sure that we eliminated that part? Mm-hmm. All right. Well, then let's do it. Let's go to Ron McLean for Century Casino and the all-new Selly's Sports Bar and Lounge.
Experience big screen energy and game day specials. Every day is a game day at Century Casino. Here's Ron McLean. Ron, Game 5, Stanley Cup Final. It has been a beauty so far, to say the least. And you're there in Raleigh. And, man, oh, man, what a series so far.
Absolutely. Reminds me, Bob, a little bit, maybe wilder, but like 1987 was my first Stanley Cup at Hockey Night in Canada. And in that series, six times the winning team had trailed in the game they won.
