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. Well, we said we had a loaded show today. It's 5.33 at Oil Country. Welcome back. Bob Stauffer with you on Oilers Now. Five guys today. Probably GM material. In their own mind, myself and Frank Cerevalli probably think we could be GMs. Chris Pronger probably could be a GM. We've had Mac T on. He was a GM. And Euler's current general manager, Stan Bowman, coming up. He... is our headliner today for Wilhock Beef Jerky. Others can try to imitate, but nobody can duplicate the great flavor of Wilhock Beef Jerky, only available in Leduc. Allow me to do this for the one and only time here on Oilers Now as we head off to the River Creek Resort and Casino Hotline.
Stan Bowman joins us. Stan, how are you doing? Doing great, Bob. How are you? Good. Congratulations on being a part of Team USA and winning the gold medal. You know the depths of my soul burn having to say that, but well done. Congrats.
Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, it was a lot of fun to be part of that. It's quite an experience.
Next time you'll play a Canadian team that actually has their best defenseman. They played pretty good as a game against the U.S. I think it's got to be stated. I think the Americans were probably better in the four nations in the two games. And I think Canada certainly on a lot of nights they win. So there you go. Did you mix in the water after you guys won, or what was the deal? How good was the celebration, even for the management team? Because Bill Guerin's a fun guy.
Yeah, there was a lot of fun guys on that group. Fitzy and Bilvito and history i'm leaving some other guys out but it was it was a great um group to be part of uh yeah we we enjoyed it after and the game ended pretty early actually because it started early over there so it was plenty of time to enjoy the night and um and then head out the next day so uh yeah it was just you know it's a unique experience you don't get a chance to do that But, you know, you never know if you'll be part of it again. So it's just hard to win anything, you know, to go all the way. And you're right, it was a coin flip of a game. Canada certainly played excellent hockey and, you know, dominated the second and a lot of the third.
But, you know, as it goes in hockey, it's competitive close games and it comes down to, you know, someone making a play at a moment. And it went the U.S. way this year.
How hard it is, is it as the general manager of the Edmonton Oilers and having Connor McDavid on your team, or even for that matter, Leon Drysaddle, because the USA played the Germans as well, watching the team that you're a part of going up against, you know, two Hall of Fame players and great leaders on the Edmonton Oilers.
Well, you're right. I mean, I think you appreciate how fortunate we are here in Edmonton to have those players on our side, you know, Playing against players, you've got to be worried about every single time they step on the ice. There's so many great players in that event, and both Connor and Leon are outstanding players, and they have unbelievable talent to be able to
Who is Stan Bowman and why is he on Oilers Now?
They make things happen offensively, and they get you on your heels for sure. So I think when they come on the ice and you're in the opposition, you know that you have to pay attention because they always make things happen.
All right, let's get to the here and now. Today, right around 2 o'clock, rumors were put out by some of the headliners. And then at 4 o'clock today, it was made official. The Edmonton Oilers acquired Connor Murphy for a 2028 second round draft choice. Chicago retains half the money. This is a player you know very well. You acquired him from Arizona in a deal, which was not an easy deal for you. You traded away Nicholas Jarmelson. He won three cups for you. Tell the listeners about Connor Murphy.
Yeah, he's an outstanding character player, first of all. I mean, when you get a chance to meet this guy, which you will soon, you'll see why he's such a great leader.
