And we will tell you that guests on the show received guest certificates to Japanese Village. Don has a new location right down by Rogers Place, back downtown, 101st Street, 105th Ave Reserve now, JVonton.ca. Sunny in Vancouver. We just had Brian Lawton on the show to talk a bit about uh If he were representing the acquitted players, how would he handle them? Would he keep them out of Canada? Would he have them sign in quieter American markets? And Sonny in Vancouver says, Bob, would the Florida Panthers make sense for Carter Hart?

Bob Stauffer 1:32

Could be a long-term replacement for an aging Sergei Barrowski. There's only a very localized fan base there, and the media attention given to the Panthers is a plus for the Florida. Well, Florida's a very run or well run organization and they play for keeps. You know, they ended up in the any in the Stanley Cup final and in the Calder Cup final this year. Um again, my guess is if I was representing any one of those five players trying to jumpstart their career, uh, I would guide them towards the U. S. It's just it'll just be way quieter than if they end up trying to make a return in Canada. All right, we're gonna head off to the River Curry Resort and Casino Hotline. Our weather snail headliner today is Kevin Alow.

Bob Stauffer 2:16

He of course is the former president general manager of the Edmonton Orders, a hockey hall of famer as well. Our headliner brought to you by Will Hawk Beef Jerky. Others can try to imitate, but nobody can duplicate the great flavor of Will Hawk beef jerky only available in Leduc. Hello, Kevin, how you doing?

How did the Oilers perform in last season’s playoff run according to Kevin?

Bob Stauffer 2:30

I'm doing great stuff, yep. How about yourself? Uh you know, pretty good, all things considered. Um, you know, got uh w went from September third to July third, took a couple weeks off, working for a month straight, and then taking the last two months of August, and then we get back at her. And Kevin, there's nothing better than going to the Stanley Cup final in back to back years. Well, there is one thing better, and that's winning it all. Uh so two incredible runs. Uh you've sort of been uh you s you know, part of the orders fabric of the the community here in town, but also with the organization for the last uh you know, forty five plus years. Uh w before we get to sort s couple of the events you're involved with this week, just a thought on what we sort of watched over the playoff run this past year.

Kevin Lowe 3:17

Oh man, it was so exciting. Um It's um great hockey, first of all. The boys um, you know, they played their hearts out. Um, I was shocked as anyone, um, you know, to see the performance in game five at home. And uh really it just after I saw that all along throughout the playoffs I thought they had what it takes to win. And I thought that'd really show up in the Florida series and I was quite bullish about it, quite frankly. Uh but after that game I was like, Man, they don't they just they didn't have their didn't have their legs and then the more I thought about it, they they you know, they had a pile of injuries. Obviously the Hyman injury is a huge one. But really Matias Eckholm was another one who's such a stellar player for their team and you could tell

Kevin Lowe 4:04

based on some of the you know, the misplays that he had throughout the series that that that's not the guy we've seen for a couple of years in Edmonton.
