It was more like it last night, 4-2 win against Vegas, Connor Ingram, pretty solid start. In between the pipes, 10th quality start out of 16 appearances this year, which is 62.5%. Vistellipa Coulson continues to play well, 15 goals, Cappin and got an empty netter.

3:09He's been impactful when he's been able to play. I thought Dickinson, another good performance Murphy on the back, and I'd like to know what you think. What did you think last night? And do you think the Amazon owners need to use more players? And I bring this up because the line of Samansky, Frederick and Doc combined for the first goal of the game and I was a little bit surprised in the minutes through two periods. I think the only way the owners are going to have success, yes, they got tremendous top end talent, but personally, I believe they're going to have to involve more players. And Sam Bowman basically outlined the plan with his media availability Thursday of this past week when he set out to the acquisition of Conor Murphy and Colton Doc, that he's trying to build a team. And the only way the owners are going to have success, in lieu of the fact that they do have three superstar players, and I'm now putting Boothshard in that category. I mean, he's leading the NHL defensive points of 73, but David 108, dry settle 92, Boothshard

4:1673, away go, away go, like I think you got to have more, more guys going, more guys involved. That's going to be part of the success for the Amazon owners here, and I'd like to get your thoughts on that.

The Edmonton Oilers start off a four game road trip and they will begin with the Vegas Golden Knights off of Hill comes in front of the shot scars. Trent Frederick. Boushard activates from a point of minute, unreal, like Colton Doc grow the net. It's a good goal, I don't think there's any way. That's a goal. Yeah. It shoots it towards an headscore. A redorexion on the shot by Colossar, hit a stick goes upstairs, and this game's tied

6:20at one. Edmonton is challenging the call in the ice to determine if there was offside after coach's challenge. The play was offside at 1328, therefore we have no goal. Over to the right. A red shot scores. Deflaked it in front of the net, and it went to shot. It was a redorexion. And the game's tied at one. Well, I'm just going to count. Yeah. It's pod Colton. He'll split the D. A break away. The shot. Rebound. Scars. Well, the silly putt Colson, he just threw the D. Well, we're Vancouver thinking, disrupted a little now, it strives that'll backhand. Scars. Leon drives side-out. Hide up there, ball. And it comes loose. Out to Eichel. The shot. Scars. Eichel. In the slot. It came right to him. He'll get the captain in the empty net. Scars. Caspary captain in.

7:20And the Edmonton Oilers. Win. 4-2 here. Over to the Vegas Golden Knights. The silly putt Colson. His 15th goal. He'll be leading the Vancouver Canucks with 15 goals. What a pickup for a fourth round draft choice. These thoughts on scoring. Yeah. Got some luck here sometimes. And yeah, I tried to be, try to put myself on a good spot for some moments, you know, and yeah. Good luck. And Colson added some additional perspective on the nice bounce back. Just keep grinding, you know. It's sometimes just tough to recover quickly from lost like that. But yeah, what else we're going to do? We are on a part of the season where we should grind and should fight for each other. There you go. Crystal Block starts. Head coach after the game on Vasilie putt Colson. He's a very important player. Not only scoring goals, but just, you always want a team with some grits, some sandpaper, hard to play against.

8:20And, you know, he checks all those boxes. You know, he's able to score sometimes like tonight. It was a huge goal for us and the speed to get that buck for the breakaway goal. But he had numerous hits where, you know, the other team knows that we have some guys that will maybe hurt you, like, hit you hard. And they feel it. So it makes them a little bit nervous. So his contributions are, you know, quite a bit. And I'm going to ask you, you can text us on the IC Five Flores text line. What's your thoughts? Do the others need to deploy more players? And in Colson's case, has this not worked out way better than you thought? Right? I mean, he's beginning to become a fan favorite. There's no question about that. Not block like the others defensive game last night as well. I thought we did a pretty good job in that area. But it was, you know, it was a low event game. Obviously, we didn't have as much offense as we usually do. But I think that's important that we can sacrifice some offense to play better defense vlog.

9:24And no block also added some perspective on the Fredrick Stamansky doc line. Talking about being hard to play against and doc and Freddie are, you know, they fit that bill where they are physical. And you can see on the goal, they just took the buck to the net, crashed. And, you know, it's never going to be pretty. But it's very effective. Yeah, we need more hockey like that out of those two. Connor Ingram got the start last night. He says the others need to keep at it. It's huge. I mean, I think every game from here on, it was just fight and claw. It's this time to go to work. And that's what we did today. So I think we keep this effort and just keep this mindset, especially of just, you know, to the grindstone. And I think I think we'll be okay. But I think that's the goal for sure. And Ingram also added some perspective on put Coleson. He's awesome. You know, he's a guy that's out there every day early with us.

10:25He's selfless. He's out there shooting parks. You know, when you shoot on goal, he's there's not a lot of times you get a chance to score. He never says a word. Man, he just puts his head down and goes to work. It's incredible. And I mean, that's what got him to where it is. And it's awesome to see him as a success too. Workrate and practice also and often sets the stage for success in games. And you can see with put Coleson. We talked about it a lot last year at the start of the year where the others coaches would talk about, you know, how hard he was working. I don't know where he's going to go as a player. You know, I mean, Colorado's got a guy in an lineup that one season didn't score in 57 games. And he's had multiple 20 goals seasons, and he's about a five and a half million dollar your player. And that's Valerie Nechuskin. But I know this. Put Coleson is honest. He's physical. He sticks up for his teammates. He's fought twice this year. The owner's got him for a fourth round draft choice. And I meant what I said in the game. I just, I don't get how you, you know,

11:26a young player like that. You don't, you know, it's not like he was off her sheet. They traded him for a fourth round draft choice. But it's worked out very well. And that's why I'm not concerned about Savoy, because Savoy's work rate is there. And he's smart and he supports the puck. And again, usually the guys that have success in games. I mean, but David and dry settle in Booshard or, you know, have God-given skills, but they work at their craft on a continuous basis. And it usually translates into effective things happening in games. This is a, of Uber importance of stretch for the Ableton orders. It was a good step last night. That said, I, I don't know how good, like I think we saw quite the contrast. We saw a Carolina team on Friday that had a lot of confidence that really kind of limited what the orders did. And we saw a Vegas team last night that I don't think is playing with a great amount of confidence. But I did do think it's a pause of step for the orders now. You know, at home, had us, it was dealing with an illness played pretty well.

12:31All things considered as actually a little bit surprised he played. Booshard's Booshard. I mean, he ended up plus two in the game. People looked at the mistake on the on the three, two, I could go. I counter that by saying, Conor, my David fought the puck in the middle of the ice. I ended up back on the zone. I'm a David went got it back when he made three great plays down the left side with the net empty to eventually get it across the cabinet. Solid start for me, Grim. Really like tech home and Booshard's game. Nurse and Emerson had some tough moments. Like what we've seen out of Murphy. Like what we've seen out of Dickinson. I think Dickinson's Savoy in cabinet can play regular minutes like 15 minutes a game. Dry settle, put calls in Roslovic. I mean, Leon and the silly works are he gets the puck for Leon. Leon's going to like that. I think that Conor would be the first to tell you that his line had some tough moments last night, five E five.

13:34Newton Hopkins when they when the orders go to two sets of penalty killing forwards with David and R&H. And then last night it was Dickinson and Savoy. He's by 1912 per game. David's a 23 Leon's a 21 56 22 minutes. I wonder whether or not, you know, you get David down from 23 to 21. You get dry settle down from 21 to 20. Newed down from about 19 to 17 and a half. And find a way to get some other players involved a little bit more here. I was I was surprised that duck Samansky and Frederick didn't play more. I said that after the second period. I think you will see doc and I don't know where Samansky's going to fit in when Henry comes back. I know Bruce Kerlock thinks that they need to keep a Samansky up here. We'll get better clarity on Henry tomorrow. But I do think Frederick and doc have to play more. They've got some size. They bring some gamesmanship. I know that's a big thing for Ryan Rashog.

14:34He's mentioned it a lot. Just you got to recognize the importance of guys giving you a little bit of gamesmanship. What you think? So text us on the Ashley five fours. Next slide. And get him back to the 80 shed studios. Aiden, what you think of the game last night? I think it was really good. I think it was a big step in the right direction. This team has an insane four game stretch. Well, I guess three now, but they're going to have to try to pick up some points on this streak. I think that, like you said, Bob, the silly pod Coleson kind of willed the offense a little bit yesterday, just with his physicality and obviously putting one in the back. Then that's pretty good. How about Trent Frederick getting one there that it's exciting to see the depth starting to work a little bit. Yeah, and they just I, you know, and I'm going to be intrigued to see what people think is to maybe I'm out to lunch, you know. But Stan moment kept on talking about the orders need to have a team. Right? That's what he brought up on Thursday. And I think he got involved more players than the team. So it's four twenty one. We'll get to NHL today when we return and to work in your thoughts as well on the actually five four steps line.

16:43Five games on the NHL slate tonight. One of them's already going on the Kings just took a lead over the Columbus Blue Jackets in Columbus. Four to three is the score for that one. New York Rangers in Philadelphia for the Flyers Calgary Flames visiting the Washington Capitals. Utah Mammoth have the Blackhawks in Chicago and the Vancouver Canucks host the Ottawa Senators. Figures field condors split their weekend against the Tucson Roadrunners falling three to two in overtime on Friday. Then winning two to nothing on Saturday. Edmonton Old Kings also splitting their weekend beating the Medicine Hat Tigers six to one on Saturday night. Then losing four three yesterday to the Prince Albert Raiders. Both games were at home. All right. Dan from San Guto has Texas. We're going to bash through some texts here. Facilities grab by Edmonton was clearly a management mistake by Vancouver. No block absolutely needs to use his entire roster to see what he's actually got. If given more opportunities for themselves to succeed, they would have turned give more opportunity for the team succeed. After all, it's a 23 man team, not a four man Bob sled team.

17:44Again, you can text us at seven eight zero four five one eighty eight hundred. Crystal says Bob, I agree that some of the other players need to get more ice time. So we can rest up Leon and Connor before the playoffs to minimize injuries. We'll let the young guys and new guys have time to shine and buy into being the whole team. That's what's required to win the cup. Again, you can text us seven eight zero four five one eighty eight hundred. On the actually fine floor is text line. Study in Calgary says Bob happy spring forward Monday. Do you think Stan Bowman will look to the NCAA or the K shell to add a player to you before the end of the year? Well, you can sign players from NCAA in Bernier. They can't play in the playoffs. It would happen to be there. I could see a mountain shop and for a player. I can see the orders looking at a Russian player.

18:45I can see the orders maybe. But in this way, the others are going to have to replace similar draft capital and I can see Europe. And the NCAA and greater. You know, need for NCAA than ever before with the new rules. I think the orders are going to 12 into that market. Once again, they were quite successful with it last year. Hayes and from St. Albert, Texas showed us a pod as a character player. All great, all granted. Can see him scoring 25 and X views seasons. Hound in the puck and the leaders love him. Great player. Well, he works hard. He's out there all the time. Wow. Bob, do you have any update on Klattberg? He's still two or three weeks away. No question about that. Again, you can say it. Texas seven eight zero four five one. Eight eight hundred one. You know what? I'll even ask an update today. Bob, how do you look at the Savoy trade today? I think Savoy's coming. I think my cloud is a pretty good player. Okay. There's your answer to that. Off to it. Each 80 news.

19:45Whether traffic update. With. Where are we going here with Tom Stias? And when we come back, Frank Sirvali for summer's drilling. This episode is brought to you by Athletic Brewing Company.
