What trivia question is posed about the Oilers' past performance?
We got a text. We got hundreds of texts on the trivia question, but... Somebody sent me this, Bob. I heard you talking about Brad Tuchek with Mike Kruschnitzky in the 3-4 hour. The Golden Bears team were stacked in 0-4-0-5. From these players, who did you think was the best player? Brad Tuchek, Ben Thompson, Doug Achenberg, or Ben Kilgore? Well, definitely not Doug Aukenberg because he did not finish the season that year with the Alberta Golden Bears, so we'll throw him out of the mix. Though he had some talent and ability, but the best player was Ben Thompson, who scored the game-tying and game-winning goal, the 05 University Cup at Rexall Place for Alberta. He was a 75-point scorer, a 40-goal scorer in the Western League.
Benny Kilgour was an 80-point scorer in the Western League. Tuchek was a strong two-way performer. You know who might have a better idea than that, as well as our next guest, is we go to Rob Brown, who's presented by Hughes Car Wash. Power up your clean with unbeatable pressure. Blast it away.

I skated with Kilgore for sure. I knew Benny. I don't know about the other ones. I don't remember the other guys, no.
I know when the Bears won the 08 national title, Ian McDonald, who was the third overall pick of the WHL Bantam Draft, he was a 90-point scorer, finished third in the Western Hockey League in scoring one year. That's how far scoring had plummeted. Didn't even have 100 points, he finished third. What was the most amount of points you had in one year in the Western League?
Uh, 212.
Yeah, yeah. So that's not far. You were pretty good, but he was a decent player. But they had him and, oh, he was friends with Chad Klassen, who was friends with Derek Ryan. So they had two 90-point scores out of the dub at a time when there were no 100-point scores in a couple of those years. And then they had Kilger, who was like an 80-point score. Eric Hunter was a Rangers draft pick, a 40-goal score. And their third-line center on that team that year, you ready for this? Derek Ryan, who would go on to play 600 games in the NHL. That was a good team back in 07-08. They won three championships in four years. All right, give me your assessment. Game one, Edmonton's victory over Anaheim. What did you like about it?
What do you think the owners need to do better?
Well, to start with, I think both teams will find positives out of it. I think Edmonton will love their start and the way they played in the first 20 minutes, and they'll love the way that they finished the game. And I think they showed again that there's no lead that is safe against the Edmonton Oilers, so they're going to like a lot of that. I think the Anaheim Ducks will like the fact that their second period, they were exceptional. and the fact they stayed in and hung in a game and they will probably talk about bad puck luck was probably the reason that they fell uh fell in game one you know they they their their defense and veteran defense and good ass falls down in a game that they probably felt they were in control of and then they missed the wide open net at the very end when echo gets just sticking away so i think both teams will find things they like
