Hey, I thought it was just a teeth still doing the phone jokes, but apparently that's still a thing.

3:04Am I the only person that really didn't care about that whole phone thing? No, I know, I know it's it's weird. Yeah, he didn't. But on a level like I just didn't care nearly as much. Maybe it's maybe it's like, should I? If I don't know, well, your man has some vintage none of this was illegal. Back in the day. No, yeah, we went around routine. They asking people. Yeah, you call me the pictures and the phone. Like bullying. Just uh, strummy had a text about McKinney and being. Oh, yeah, does your face look like a pissed off name McKinney? Call me Johnson for all your friends. Needs Mumbai Tony. Yeah, well, uh, yeah, uh, NHL of course opening week. I guess you can say continuing last three games.

A clean as lid has the emperor ever been using force lightning on your father. So you grabbed him picked him up and threw him into your furnace destroying it. Police Johnson. And he says Samansky recall is happening. Well, we'll get to that. I did see your tweets clean as lid. You are the, giving giving Trevor a run for the Oracle money here in terms of prediction. So he's an insider. He's an Oracle insider. Oh, is he?

5:09Yeah, yeah, he's called quite a bit of stuff. So it's got connections. It's pretty sweet. Not like two months. No, no, it's better. Oh, way better. Normie can have a perfect season unless you continue to lose game. Let's go Astros. Astros bounced on the plastic. Yeah, last night is the wild card season continues. We'll be talking a little baseball, a little football, but a whole hell of a lot of oilers as it is. Game day trev. Got to be fired up today. Kevin is too. I'm extremely. Oh, you can say that. You can. You can. And you probably will. No, I'm just joking. No, they're going to be good. Like, well, it's whatever. You're wishing it into existence. Right. Yeah. If you say it enough, I'm really not worried. Like I it all came down to Tristan Jerry sucking. If you didn't suck, they would have won that game. So I'm not worried. The oilers, I thought they were the better team. Anyone watching that they were clearly the better team. They did not have the better goalie. They had the worst goalie. That's why they lost. Well, they were the new team going into that game. I mean,

6:12on paper, well, they are the better team. I mean, even the Vancouver connox had to have been very surprised at themselves that they're good for. Yes, that they left the ring. You can tell by their goal celebrations. Like holy crap. Oh my God. We've won. Keith held the David is zero shot. That isn't going to happen. I know. For the connox is so okay. No talent. Yeah. I'm not cheering for the connox. Just let it be known. I'm trying to provide a counterpoint here. But it is. It is sadly ironic that the way the whole night or the way this season has been pitched to us as fans that this is a blue collar oiler team. Yes, which is kind of funny. It is now. Blue collar. It wasn't before, but it is now. You've got McDavid and dry cider and bouche hard and to think of yourself as these guys are blue collar. No, they're super talented. And they got it worked. Weird, huh? But it was a quick summer, Dave. So you didn't have a lot of

7:12time to implement these things and such, right? Oh, yeah. Right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. I forgot about that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. This was the long. Yeah. The other ones were short. Geez. Yeah. I know. Because I would have thought watching the game that the other night that it would have been. Okay. So yeah, that's a good point. Give me a 20 game preseason. Well, that's maybe with the cases here. But yeah, connox oilers tonight. I think we've got a pretty good show for you today. I usual, I guess Thursday show. As you can expect here, morning announcements coming up the fan zone for we'll be doing the fan zone. Now this is for others fans is generally the hockey segment. But get your thoughts in. We've already digested last game. Get your thoughts in on tonight's game. Let's look ahead. 7802 89999 hashtag your messages with fan zone. We're going to get fired up as well by the end of the hour for Jim co fireplaces. That's on the way at 645 Bruce Boudreau your NHL analyst this morning. He'll be by at 705 as we continue to wait the return of Luke Gazette pride. I do believe probably the next Thursday. I think is when we start flipping the two of them every single Thursday. But Bruce will

We will have on as well when it does start shortly after eight o'clock tonight. And we'll spin the wheel for them. We'll also get into the oilers game tonight. It was me that screwed up the early bird yesterday. The three games slate. Trev correctly picking the avalanche Dustin correctly picking the maple leaves. And I wrongly picking the Philadelphia flyers who got absolutely tough week for Philly sports. Hey, I mean, well, I guess the Philly's did win yesterday. They stay alive. So that's something. But Eagles flyers last night. But anyways, we'll do your play Alberta early bird at around 720. I got beef. That comes with 735. If you got any beef sentiment right now, never too early, 780, 20. And do they have to be the world of sports or could there be anything? Could be bike lanes. You have to be anything bike lanes, um,

Of course, part of that dazzling team with the GCL diesel oil stream at pre and post game shows, which he will be on tonight because it's a road game. Read does the road games.

Like that. That begins on looks like Saturday here Dodgers get the winner of Atlanta Philly. You got the Yankees and the raise and a series for me that that will be a myself divided but the podries taking on the brewers. I want both of those teams to succeed. But yeah, white socks guardians. That's not bad. I have a question. I am not conversant in things Roman Catholic. Maybe some of our listeners are do you think the Pope would step away from his duties his papal duties. Well, he's like the white socks were to advance to the world series. Like would he come in for a game. He's already sending messages and stuff. Oh, I know. I don't know if that's like that. I'd like to say, is that fair? I should be had halls through to the club host. I would think so.

12:24A skip life skip the Pope. Face time. It's about a city. Yeah. Do you have time? He loves them. I know he does. It's it's um but it is kind of a weird advantage there or disadvantage depending on where you come out of it. I'm not going to get into that. I know you and the religion. I told you politics. Now you want to get really good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Brown Steelers. That is your throes. Night. I delicious match up from the dog pond if I must say early on in the season. This might not have the same type of bravado later on in maybe week 15 or whatever you want to call it. But it's nice early. I'll take a week for it's a palette cleanse both two and one. DeShawn Watson. You know, massaging himself well into the season here. Yes. Always prime time in Cleveland. That's going to be wild. You know. So yeah, join me for this one. Selly sports bar and lounge night. Browns and Steelers getting under rate around 6, 15, 6, 20 years there. But we'll have an NFL jersey up for grabs. Smoke Prisca cheese takes on special beer on special in the free. He did an underground party. Yeah. And nailed it. Now you love it. Yeah. Two levels as well. So for your parking pleasure. What else do we got here? Jerry Jones getting

13:29into it sticking with the NFL. Hey, you want to just he ever say no to a deal involving a big star. He he loves the good reclamation project as well. People know if they haven't, you know, he loves a good reclamation project as well. Joy Porter, Jr. Steelers finalizing a trade to send him to the Cowboys back kind of breaking last night, but probably going through this more. So yeah, I mean, it's got to understand to the Steelers are different. Mike Tomlin now is explaining his city that he built on Minecraft. Did you see that breakdown? It's like he's doing game tape. I didn't know if that was AI or if that was for he said that he has a city. Okay. Yeah. So that was real. So you're right. I watched a video explaining it. Yeah. I could have got the first 10 seconds. I'm like, uh, well, I don't know. It looks real. I look real. I said he had a city. Yeah. I'm not an actual video of him breaking it down. I understand, but I could see an NFL coach, Mike Tomlin or many others. Like I could see Sean McVey as a guy who I don't know where they find the time to do this stuff.

14:32Having a city, you know, having a city. Well, it's the thing you do when you have that downtime. Yeah. And there's not a lot of it, but it's the one thing that takes him as far away from football as like you know what I'm saying, but he's got to be doing that in, I'm assuming in the building because they're in the bit, their facilities for ungodly number of hours every day. Have you ever played Minecraft? Jamal? I have not. I mean, I know people obviously have. I mean, it's a real. It's a real video released on his official YouTube channel edited by his son, Dino Tomlin or Dino, if you will, 20 minute tour. Gay fans at first. We'll have to watch this for 20 minutes. First time look at his virtual city, which features urban elements like condos. He's very proud of the first building. He said, I want to do a round of body water. He's got a little stating there on the waterfront as well. I he's angling to run an NFL team. Maybe expansion. I like it. Yeah, it's kind of charming. Yeah, fun. Yeah, fun with it. I did a lot of the job. I

15:34don't know what in terms of Minecraft, if you're ranking cities and such, but I think he's going to get a lot of urban plan. Well, I said he might even feature in urban planning here. It could be a I'd vote for him. He's got my vote. At least get him on the council. So there's that. But yes, Steelers, Finlay's and Joey Porter Jr. trade. Maybe he could drop in the urban town for a quick visit. Give us his thoughts. Would that be something? Get him on a just a little residency, like a six month. Sure. Come in. Yeah, you cities yours. Do whatever you want to free ride. You have to pay for lodging or food, but just come in and let us know what we can. I wouldn't mind taking him by callman wealth. Give him a crack at that. Yeah, he has a little scooter sewer. Michael Jans taking him through. Sorry, if we don't need to. Pictures, arms around yet. NHL picture, as mentioned from yesterday, I screwed up the early bird parlay, but we ride again today. Yes. Penguins over the. Yes, we ride again. Yes, but yes, I screwed it up. No, no, no, you're fine,

16:38man. You're all good. I would have picked the flyers. Why didn't you? Because like that was the end. You were quite right. You're picking the ads. Yeah. That was the trickiest game to pick last night. I was a kid in fight. So, did anything? Nothing is a little. Did anyone have a kid in fighting? Which I love. I love. I feel bad for it. Brand Clark. I don't know why. That just flashbacks to rookie André Svetschnikov taking on OV and just getting one punched. Yeah, that's kind of what that were. I'm like, you're a young, you're a lot younger, a lot smaller. Nate Dogg, they call him dog for a reason, you know, DAWG. Two goals as well. First start. Yeah. Absolutely. Pumptom. Nice. My favorite hockey player in the NHL. McKinnon. Yes. No soda pop, right? This is what happens when you don't drink soda. That's a good pick. Eight four avalanche doubling up the Kings last night. Leafs get in the win column. Oh, thank God. Back to back days, back to back nights, back to back games. They had the Islanders two one there. I know I'll be watching overdrive today. Well, congratulations to Mr. Hiller and getting his first win as we just coach, right?

17:42Memorable event there. That's the Gatorade shower. Yeah. And the penguins, who going into Philly, without shooting the flyers 30, 19 and outscoring them to the tune of seven, nothing. Balanced offense as well. Shuddering with the flyers. You think it's, think it was tough here. The other night getting shut out seven, nothing at home. That's a tough look. But yeah, Oilers will look to get it right. And I think they will get it right tonight out in Vancouver. It's one of eight games around the NHL this evening. Devils at home to the flyers. So Philly can answer a tone for their sins from last night in New Jersey Rangers host the lighting. Buffalo are in Columbus. Preads welcome in the wild flames host the Kraken. That's a hell of a game. You taught home to Chicago and an interesting what on the shark tank between the sharks and the Panthers. That is kind of your nightcap as well. Another eight o'clock start there. Longside Oilers and Kinecks admit now are you going to be following the sharks a little more closely because of nurse. I know Celebrea because others because of just nurse. Yes, because of nurse. Because of the sea. Celebrea. Not the other. No, I don't. Yeah, it's all because of nurse.

18:46I will. Oh, absolutely. I mean, they are neighbors in the division. Sure. There are a lot of people have them. Who was it that had? Was it button that had the shark speeding the oilers in the first round? Is that yes? Yeah. Craig button has the I don't don't mind us. I said last year we all agreed last year. I mean, they're with celebrating everything. They've been short up the defense. Whether you know, you agree it's talented or not. It's certainly tougher. Yes. They'll be they'll be around there. They'll be better than the ducks. Yes. Kings. Yeah. You think they are. The Kings are always just, you know, I could see the sharks putting together like a solid season, like being second in the division. Yeah. Like the oilers. I could see that. Oh, God. And then play off. I don't know. Whatever. There's different kids on the block. Yeah. I think they're going to be a good regular season team this year. They'll be fun. They'll be well worth the ticket. So yeah, to answer your question, I will be I'll be keeping. I yeah, I'll be staying up watching those those like the starts were those fans that were those neon green. Was it a bill bondsman shirt behind

19:48the bench? A tradition unlike any other down in San Jose hockey. They love it down. High fives. Down there. What did you did you get one? Did you want to my wearing today? You sure guys? I show up wearing this. The one fan who shows nobody. Nobody flinches. Yeah. Imagine that's part of your daily game day. Reparate like that's your entire. And you show me I got to you. I want to move up for the freebie this year. Like maybe a new hat or I get a scarf or something. That's a high five. I've got already got one of those. Yeah. So 7202 and 899 99 nurse over four and a half iceings for the parlay. Cleema's lid says troll says McKinney can do everything except hit wide open nets when it counts. Oh, that's well, that's the nation wins is there a lot of you guys call them iceings. I say that is a smart zone clear. It just went a little too far. Okay. Yeah. I don't see that as a negative. I just see him being very prudent. I appreciate your spin. Yes. I knew you catch that. Kevin says play some royal test already. Oh, yeah. Well, the new thoughts on the goal song. We test on

20:52it briefly yesterday. I think you need to you need to hear it a little more. Well, I watch the video inside, you know, kind of like inside the music. Yeah. Yeah. And they they went behind the parking. Park took them in there. Right. It is a full. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And Joel drummer from well in the wolf also drum. Yes. Joey Jojo. I think I talked to big UK yesterday on the nasty chat. You could really have anything for a goal song. Like you could have the most annoying worst song in the world. But it's played when you do something good. So you'll like it. So it's associated with the good. Yeah. So like how what was the hall and what was the hall and note song? The leaf. Yeah. A couple of years. You make me fit. You make my dream. Dude, it, dude. That's the one right? Like, you want to be a big leaf fan. You make my dreams come true. What was the leaf school song that it was? It was a little sort of it was hauling out. I know you don't know. Hall and Oats is that was it? Wasn't it? And the hawks had Chelsea day. You make my dreams come true. Yes. That's what it was. And of course, the Oloos here had what was it

21:53flux land for the past couple of. And the players. Because I know in some leagues. There's some sports I should say. And my experience has been like the players will kind of say, you know, we'd like this played. Yeah. Touchdown. You know, current craft 400. So I don't know. Did the players have any voice in this? In hockey terms? I think they want did they not want flux land or something? Did they like that one? They wanted. What do they play tarzan boy after a win? A couple seasons ago or something? Was that a thing? I think this seems like it's just a partnership between Royal Tusk and the club. No, certainly the players pining for some Royal Tusk. And I think Royal Tusk also played a hand in getting them out on the ice last year. If I'm not mistaken, they were like down their boots on the ground for the pregame type of thing. Whatever. As I said, it's it's local

22:53Edmonton rock. And that's what you kind of want. I would have voted for home front when you're talking about Edmonton bands, but that's just me. But yeah, good on Royal Tusk for for providing the goal. So you're going to hear a lot. It's going to be on heavy rotation this year. Yeah. You're going to be filling the net. Hopefully in a winning cause. I'll be at though. No, no. See, I'm the fresh energy in the room. We still don't know. There's a lot of things I arrived here today. And I could see that sort of the energy had been always to have a tropical in me, man. I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I will fire it up coming up for Jim co fireplace as well with the fan zone presented by Northern gauge insured park Northern gauge delivers ISO 17 025 accredited precision thread gauges and collaboration services trusted across global industries and oil field operations in terms of the fan zone today I got this is a good text from david section T.

31:31Yeah. We're talking about oil is gold songs what song should they play Rogers place when the opponent scores to make the team not allowed goals against. He says I'm looking to a teeth for an answer. It is right like if you had a really bad song for when the opponent scores you don't want to hear that the team obviously wouldn't want to hear it. Thanks. So a song so repellent. Yeah, like the chicken dance or something if that does bother you some people like that song. Some people are so good. Yeah. Charlie's fishing the fifth out of the pack of it. Get out of bed. Catch. People are just like. Yeah. Here we go. Camera pans to bat clock on the bench. Dunluding all the swear words. Can I be funny? Yeah. I know. You guys just let that's marinade for the ads. Maybe the deed. The one song that I love growing up which definitely ruined for me a few world juniors ago was hey, hey, baby.

32:34Oh, yeah. That sounds not ruined for you. Is it a little bit? We brought it back watching Canada smoke guitar at the world cup. Oh, you know, that's that's true. Yeah, actually. That was fun. I enjoyed it there. But for all the other context, yes, that was a lot of love that song. We had to go in the Liberty bus to a lot. I was banging the roof. Oh, did you? Yeah. I got three, four, five, six more so like an entrance like a theme like I'll go with Kurt Angles. Then, then, because you know, after the fucks, yeah, because you know how they go you suck. Oh, you suck. You know, you couldn't incorporate that into the game at some point. Yeah. Maybe when they get like a penalty. Yeah. When the team gets a penalty opposing team, what do they do currently? Like when the connoxer is probably playing it on the random. I don't think there's like a lower the volume and then Al Stafford is I'm sure directed Al just read the Vancouver goal. It's very downcast. Is it the time for the organ?

33:35Like a bit of I would go organ. I think that's cool. It's classic, which organ or yeah, yeah, I think you don't like just smoke in the water. Yeah, yeah, just a good cover of a classic rock tune. That's good suggestions coming in. I bet there are. I bet there are rock for it. I don't I'm not reading that one. Oh, come on. Can you not add it on the fly? Kevin says Barbie girl. Clemens Good says MacArthur Park. Vance Van Van Van Van Goodbye Horses. Do I know that? I'm a must. Yeah, that's the what's the movie again? Kill Bill the serial killer there. Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry. Okay, okay, when he's in the mirror, tucking, you know, yeah, that might be a good one. Rockford, you have the best one, but I'm not going to read it. Troll says anything by Taylor Swift, RCN says the Rose and Anthem. Pat in the county here. I go again on my own.

34:35John the brand guy says, should do a caught my Joe spoof for an easy jarring goal. Jordan says, what's the David get us on J. Mellon's? So don't do the family family. Can I share I want to share a personal interaction I had with the great Brian Hall. 92 years old. Is that the text you sent yesterday? Okay. So I sent him a text that I probably shouldn't have bought. It was for me. Yeah, it was directed to Eric. And I mistakenly in my fog, you know, I'm always down after a noiler loss. All hold. Same thing in the mirror. And I got this response from Brian about an hour later. I mean, when you're 92, you do everything on your time, not my time, right? So I didn't need them to get back to me right away. But you said it's only Brian would can't blame Jari. The fence was crap. And I chickened an egg. Yeah. Brian as he often did and still does didn't lay it entirely on one guy.

35:37He wasn't going the way the rest of neither did Babcock. No. In his post game, he said, yeah, we all know what Jari. There was the third goal. That was that was that was the one you can't really blame that on the on defense. And you've seen it before. But as we said yesterday, we went over it a lot. You just need you do. We we we brought up the idea yesterday. One guy actually got mad at me on Twitter here. I put out a poll. Would you trade for Connor Hellerbuck? Now now I worry that I'll need a goes guess. I know what it was. Yes. Yes. But one guy goes. Yeah. J at 604 a non on Twitter. Uh huh. Yeah. I said sure. The oil is trade for Hellerbuck yesterday. Put up a poll 69.5. You percent say yes. They should trade for Hellerbuck. Of course, it's not going to put up the point to this conversation. You don't need like you kind of help. I sure would be great. A lot of things would be great. I can't afford it though. Would I like to go down to a dealership? Go down to see Mitch at Park Mass. I say I want the most expensive Mazda. I don't have the money. But can I just can we work out a way to have it?

36:38I just need a good car. I need a good car that gets me from point A to point B. It's probably Anderson. Well, but again, that's not not reliable, right? Like I so this J goes guys is good. You're into the rage bait. I thought higher of you. Uh, frowny face. It's been made quite clear. The Canadian teams are not on his list of approved destinations. We understand. Thank you. Thank you for clearing that up Jay. I mean, I mean, I, I mean, going back to the jari thing. I think, you know, again, Lincoln in was giving them saves when they needed it. He was standing up big. He allowed who was he yesterday? If you're allowing, if you're scoring five, it should be enough to win a game. And that's, that's the whole thing. It's, it's, it's, it's, you just need. You just need competent good. Yeah. We don't need great. That's a great, sure thing. He'll give up six. You won't give up the seventh. I understand. That goes to the third goal. Yeah. And so you're just, I'm not, I don't need to be. And so you're just, I'm not, I don't need a lot. You just need good. You need good with a lowercase G. I'll take it. But we don't need Vesna. No, no, gosh, everything would be nice. All these things, not happening.

37:39Imagine, and I don't believe this to be what will happen. That the oilers just have to hang on until Freddie Anderson gets healthy in December or by December. Then you got him for a couple months. Yes. So for you get hurt? Yeah. I do wonder what the, what you had said in over under of him starting this season, just given the history and when he might, might possibly, what did we look at? Like Christmas now or something like that? December? November, December. Yeah. Sometimes in December. Sometime in December. So what? That's a long month. Yeah. It's small. So I don't know. And and Devon Levi-Ton, I mean, he's getting the start. Do you, maybe there, there is just for conversation purposes. Do you go back to Jari and say, hey. Because you're, you're away from home. You start trying, you have Levi in the net for, for was a Saturday in Seattle. Yeah. That might be. That's kind of a Seattle start is kind of a low stress. You know, Seattle. You would, yeah. Well, we said this Tuesday as well, leaving into the Vancouver game.

38:41But like I just wonder, I know everybody will want to say Devon Levi and he probably does, I guess, get the start tonight. Yeah. But there is a theory. I guess you could say, hey, Tristan, get back in there and show us like, you know, something like when you're training a pup and they've made a, they've soiled the floor, you take them over to rub the, rub the nose in it. Yeah. And then so is that what you're doing? Is that the equivalent? I don't know. Like, is there a conversation to be had there? I don't know. I'm just asking the questions here. Yeah. Like what, how long is this leash? Cause I know some people are already saying, no, that's it. It's Levi. It's Levi. It's Levi. Well, but then that's two. Well, I'm not scared either of them. To be honest with you. I just, like, is one game. Can you judge a goalie off one game? Like, I know I've seen that we will. And people are going to say it's not one game. Look what he was, look how he was last season as well. So like, this isn't, it hasn't changed. So maybe that's why people are like, no, we've seen enough. He's clearly the, that's your last season. But can we say he's Jari of last season from one game?

39:43Probably maybe again, he wouldn't be wrong if you did. I just thinking like tonight in terms of the next couple of games, like, I don't know, Levi tonight, or, and I guess if Levi does show up and stand on his head tonight, then you would run with him. I guess and go with the hot hand. I don't know how they're going to kind of distribute the minutes like time, but does Babcock go to him? He's like, do you want this game? Like do you want to redeem yourself? Yeah. Like it's, does he have that competitive fire? Like, cause I know some goalie's to do. If this was Mike Smith, yes. Like I want to be in there. Correct. Yeah. Like, let's see what I can do. And you're away from home. And maybe that's a little, I don't know if he has that fire. But yeah, you are away from home. And then you know, it's, you have to assume if he's gotten to this level that he has that maybe not Mike Smith, who was demonstrative, right? Mike Smith was the guy he showed everything. He was a man. But you have to assume that professional pride and Tristan Jari would have lots of it. To get to the place he's in most, most at this level should.

40:46And yes, most do think. That he would, if presented with the opportunity to go in tonight, would say, yeah, give it to me. Yeah. We will get to this goal. Tending, I think we'll do this fired up here. And I did want to go over a few of these song suggestions, cause it was kind of, and David section T, thank you for bringing that up, because we got to tip to it into a rather fun topic here. Wheels once, uh, burn it down by pickle back. He says in the nasty chat, as wheels does, uh, a few votes for some Jethro tall, uh, yes, bungalow in the jungle closer to the edge by yes. Uh, I'll take that and you know who else will. Our friend Bruce McCurdy, he would take that well, prog rock. And yeah, he sure, or watching your Bruce. Hello from Adele. Uh, Super Mario says, um, and again, just to remind listeners, if you're just joining us, these are songs that would be played after the visiting team scores. Correct. Yes. So what would you at the Madaho son 104? Like there are some that would be funny.

41:47Um, yeah, it's raining men. That's got to be incorporated into some music mix for one of these games, uh, going back to kill, build, play the music that played whenever the bride confronted one of her targets. Oops, I did it again by Britney Spears. That's been texted in quite a bit here in the Paris True Lose inbox, 7802 and 899, yo, what's up, man? Buy a Teef. Um, you know, if there's anything that you don't want to hear, um, certainly it might, uh, spike up the Euler's defensive play and not having that song played. Should the opposition score on you? Uh, yeah, lots of read a text from a Teef. That'd be a good thing. Tupesauk says, lady of Spain on the organ. I think let's come back to the idea and, and, and, and locking on, on the organ, but covering saw, and I used smoke on the water, which is a common, you know, sorry, Nathan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But done on the organ like at a baseball game, I've heard, I've been to many baseball games and heard, you know,

42:49classic rock tunes. A lot of people loving the lady of Spain, yacchid, a sax of Jari's in it, cruel world by Shoddy Mills, Chris, I suggested. Yeah. Maybe a little local, they got royal test local rock for a goal. Maybe a little local hip hop rap, Shoddy Mills, when the opposing team scores, put an Edmonton on the map, and on his back and on his back. Yes, it's got a big back. So what he said, Rockford says, I started a joke by the Bee Gees. Bitter state of life. Stay in the life. Stay in the life. Yeah, on the organ. All on the organ. Yeah, yeah. Any of these suggestions, all on the organ on the organ, which it guess it kind of is. I did it again. Little Spanish flea. So there's a great suggestion. That was, that was, that was, that was a nice little experiment there. But we'll never, this will never see the light of day because this is not going to be repeated again. No, it all stays here. It all stays in the fan zone. That's been the fan zone presented as well again by Northern Gage and Sherrod Park. We think that they deliver ISO 17 025 accredited precision thread gauges and collaboration services, trusted across

43:56global industries and oil field operations. Let's get, let's get fired up. Shall we? Yeah, if you're not already fired up for a Jim co fireplaces Napoleon products as well, Jim co fireplaces, proudly serving in an area for 45 years, they have the authorized dealer for Napoleon fireplaces, whether it's gas or wood burning, look no further than Canadian made Napoleon fireplaces. All the Napoleon products you need are available at Jim co 92 81 50th Street fired up. It's game day, obviously, as the oil is looked to right the ship and get in the wind column tonight out in Vancouver. Where are we? You said this is the home opener for the Kanox. Sure is. They'll fire up their fan base, right? Coming off their 1 and 0. What? Well, it's a West coast. It's a van Cooper version of fired up. Yes, the right guy. What can we, what will we expect? There is the high viz be the introduced all the people from the oil is last like trainers on that. Neuge. He was getting to that. Well, he was getting work done. That was the only time the busy. The therapist could only he was I only have I can pitch in, but it's between the hours of.

44:59I think probably to midnight. I feel like that's a vet move right there. Like new just like, how when can I get this done? Like, oh, well, this is when their your player introduction has. Okay, good. All to order. I don't want to go out there with everyone else. Yeah, I mean, I didn't stand there. Honestly, people were really reading into that. Yeah, I know. Like, no, just think of it like that. Like, I'd be like, I don't really want to go out there. It's always awkward. Right. You know, you just sit there wave. What's the little body injury? You want to walking out on the ice with the lower body? That's that's yeah, health concern as well. But they introduced every new was a long list of people. It usually yeah. And a battalion of support staff. And I'm just wondering who was in the back doing the treatment when everybody was out on the bench. That's a good point. Well, it was, you know, it was the it was doctor, whomever that that is not doctor. Nado. Yeah, that doesn't know that doesn't wear the colors that I just said alien. Chris Davis, another guy worked with and I'm looking all these are friend Jess. Jess is brother as well.

46:00Yeah. And I'm looking at all these people and then I hear nudges in the back. I'm going, well, who is doing the work outside contract? That's the thing. A third party. Yeah. Nude flew in somebody from Europe or he was at the clinic at the time, right? Like they shut the door, lock it up and then it's you guys in there and that's an after hours after hours. After hours, a point. I got it. Yeah. But what do you think you're thinking? What are the facts, dude? Tonight, what's what's their, do they got the guy that trips over the carpet doing the anthem, skating around like is that going to be the best? They've got all the West Coast stuff that you would expect. Yeah. I'm sure they've got some time. That's probably a low Vs. Vest over the back of the scene. I don't know what they will be giving away in Vancouver. I mean, the fan base out there really dislikes ownership. But unlike previous years, they're all in on the idea that we're not good, but better times are coming. So a logical rebuild is underway. And people really like Mani Melhotra out there. Yeah. Like he is his camp this year, highly regarded on ESC afternoons with her Nance House and

47:05walking gauge. What time is that at? It's a one to three through Monday and Friday right here on Edmonton Sports Talk. Thank you. Nicely right. That's a great promo. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. I think we had on, but he said it was just miles difference with Melhotra running camp. Like he is just so involved, so invested. He's like, again, the guy's going like foot. Last year apparently wasn't running like a lot of the drills during camp. He was kind of just watching. It's just his interest. It was lacking. Yeah. That's what he kind of shows his teams. And it's yes, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Quite a quite a different look. They have this year in Melhotra, but everything from what I've heard, the team they love it's the roster or the management. They obviously love it. So I'm sure they're in good hands. They're in good hands. Yeah. I mean, it's like I, you know, we, we, we, we, we, it's certainly where the oilers are at window of most important things. franchise history, Babcogging and then we look around and we say, I that team sucks.

48:07They suck. They're going to be it is a pro league and these are pro. They're all pro players and again, if you're going to take that mindset to the ice half the time, you're going to get, you're going to get outworked or you're going to get out out out out, out clasped or whatever you want. And certainly many Melhotra seems like a guy that that can take a reg, take a bunch of known aims as, as we'll call them and get something on. How many in the, how many in the room knew Paul Carter? Wow. Well, I mean, like really could dive in on him. Like for the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, what are you talking about? No, no, no, no. Us, like out there. Oh, we laughed. We joked when we, when we did the Orange and Blue breakfast, too. Yeah. We heard of him. I can tell him much about the player. Friends and family. No one goes for a little bit. Don't call me Videl Sesson, right? Right. He showed up himself. Marco Rossi had a good game. I mean, he was acquired in that, in that deal as well. So, yeah, I mean, I just, not does not to say the team and the players take, take opposition. But I think we were guilty of it a lot, saying, oh, this, you know, Seattle too. I mean, there will be nights that, that the world was probably beat up on a, on a, on a weaker than or lesser than team.

49:08And as they should, but I mean, got to give the Kinex credit. The other night as well. I mean, they, they, they're trying to. Well, just, this just in the other guys are trying to, they may not be as good. And in the case of the Kinex, they are not on the Euler's level. But on that night, they were better. Well, if you want to talk better enough, if you want to talk about the same old story, again, what have we said about the Euler's as well over the years is playing down as well to, to certain competition at times. That's, that's, that's true. It's built in. So does Mike Babcock come in and siphon that out of the DNA? I don't know. Remains to be seen. But I'm not sure if you've heard this is the job that Mike Babcock has been charged with to fundamentally change the DNA of this team, which is a good and close to great team, or not necessarily coming off last year, but capable of greatness or goodness. Goodness, I would say, and I would ask you two Dave, because you're in here and we started the season now.

50:09We've had a long summer and we, I guess we talked about it maybe, but is the roster that they are missing some pieces and again, not excuses, but reasons fair, but Dickinson comes back, R&H comes back, maybe Samanski's Samanski would be called for this little yes, tenure here when those guys are out, but Savoy as well. I mean, is that is this team when fully healthy and those guys when those out pieces are in and acclimated fully somebody did put up a point yesterday, though, too, is Babcock is going to instill a type of ethic and everything. And but without some of these guys in line up, and then when they return, it's going to have to maybe not all start over again, but he's going to have to start with with a handful of guys again, getting them up to speed of what he wants somebody expects. And, and we're going to have to we as consumers of the oilers are going to have to get comfortable with some nights where McDavid doesn't show up on the score sheet fair. That's going to be hopefully not a nightly occurrence, but they're going to be those

51:14nights where he'll be judged on different criteria. Yeah, I feel bad for him because obviously he's the greatest player in my generation, I think, as far as skill goes, and he's just like he sets a standard. So people are expecting him to pop off every single night. Yes, I don't think he was bad last. Like if that was if that was Ryan Newtian Hopkins, I'd be like, wow, he was flying out there. He looks to use all around it. Because of this McDavid, like the you expect all three, four points. So it's you do. No, that's fair. There's going to be stinkers, but that wasn't a state. It wasn't a thing just doesn't show up with two goals. Yeah, one is just people think it's a bad night. But I think we're going to have to spin ourselves a little bit in how we look at both he and dry side. Yeah. This text unsigned, please attach your name or some sort of handle every one to be known by to your text 7802 and 899 99 PJs in box. Hey, boys, how many players on this team around the team that made it to the Stanley Cup

52:15final loss by one goal? I don't think it's the same team. No, it's the same to L is that for leaders or I don't to L probably probably, but no, that is right. And and Babcock will be judged rightly or wrongly this season, but roster construction as well is is is a big thing that I know a lot of people have been kind of holding their breath on and saying, well, hold on a second, Mike Babcock coming in. Yes, we all know that hard work and everything. You've got the two best players in league. But is this team overall and we have still questions with goal tending? I don't think the defense right now is a a finished, we don't really know what it's going to look like, not finished yet. And then the depth of this team. So yeah, I mean, there are question marks heading into the season and the same old ones that we've been asking about for a while. So that goes down to roster management. But get your text in. I want to know what you think to going off the opposition goal song. What do you think that connects give out tonight and Vancouver for their home opener? 7802 899 99 Kevin says I'm sure there'll be an orca involved. Then they used to have an orca. Did they have one like attached to the ceiling and it would go around like spitting out

53:16to you know, that's right. One get one free from a local pizza rear or something and drop them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, kind of one of those blimp things. But yeah, what do you think that connects hand out to their fans? That I don't do it. I'm not salmon in a box upon egress on the build a dried like a kind of yeah. Yeah, a jerky type of yeah, a jerky. Yeah, yeah, yeah, salmon jerky, which is delicious. I'm way down. It's up in the nasty chat here. Oilers Orange Vests says three turnovers. That was nurse or Bush. It would have had headline news. Well, yeah. Yes, it would 97 was triple teamed a few times. Tuesday Chris Fuller says, but I bet it looks different. The others will make adjustments and kick their butts. I am. We all said, you know, first blush for Babcock game one. What do we gain expect? Well, we saw what we saw what we got. I do wonder the adjustment and the fact that this team never did have a lead. And what a Babcock team looks like when you have a lead in terms of holding a lead. But it will be fascinating to see what the adjustment is made. Of course, against the same opposition.

54:18And where my Babcock kind of goes. Yeah, so that's got you fired up. 701, Jim co fireplaces. We thank them for sponsoring the fired up segment. You got me fired up tonight game two of an 84 game season. Oilers connects out in Vancouver. What do the connects hand out to their faithful tonight?
