How you doing?
I'm good, buddy. I'm kind of feeling some shame. This is the second time in the last, well, this week, that I've blown right through a scheduled hit that I was supposed to do. Same thing happened earlier this week on EST. And now I have monumentally disrespected the Bobfather. It's a blessing. It's a privilege for me to be on this show with him. And I just completely made a stupid mistake. and uh twice in one week buddy so now the residual benefit is you and i get to do a little on-air stuff together which this is nice this is the first time for you and i so yeah a little little blessing there yeah i i wouldn't sweat it all ryan the amount of grief we've put you through with the uh with the online interviews over zoom and stuff it's all good don't sweat it man uh
Don't Bob that.
I'm not worried about me.
I'm worried about Bob. Okay, okay. All right. Well, a big one tonight. Obviously, game three of the Edmonton Oilers' first-round series with the Anaheim Ducks. What are your thoughts overall on the first two games so far?
I mean, I think the two winners have had some good periods and they've had some bad periods, right? They haven't really been able to sustain their high-end game for, you know, 30, 40, 50 minutes on the night yet. And that's not ideal at playoff time. You know, Aiden, I think you would like to be able to get to your best game more often. with that said at even strength they've you know they've been winning the series at even strength so I think we all know it's special teams it's about you know the power play getting going the penalty kill doing a better job and of course McDavid and Bouchard you know finding some offense here but I just think that the Oilers are better than what they've shown for two games here in a bunch of different ways and I think I would have to think that would be a little disappointing for them
Yeah, without a doubt. And especially in Connor McDavid's case. I mean, a lot of people wondering about what happened with his leg there in game two. Obviously, you and I saw him in the scrum. He seemed just fine. And with what Chris Knobloch was talking about today, he seems like there's no concern there. But of course, we're... We're two games into the postseason. In the game before that, he didn't have any points either. I've been saying it up and down the block all day, but I really feel like the first order of business that Anaheim kind of handled when they were getting ready to go against the Oilers was triple team on Connor McDavid, and it seems like they've found a way to neutralize him there.
I think so. You know, they've done a good job. They've got great sticks. Like, every time McDavid's getting to the middle of the ice and trying to make something happen, it's getting swatted away from him, you know, every time. Like, we saw, I believe it was early in game two. It might have been game one. I might be confused. But how many times have you seen Conor McDavid get caught by a back checker on a two-on-one, right, and get his pocket picked? That never happens to Conor McDavid. He's always aware of what's going on around him. He got his pocket picked on a two-on-one. They're doing a good job. It's clear that, you know, Jay Woodcroft obviously watched for years as teams tried to shut down Connor McDavid.
