Dustin Nielson, Benny Thomson, and YouTube Trev are live in the studio for another jam-packed edition of The Oil Stream!
The boys lead off with a heartfelt tribute to the late Cal Nichols, who passed away at 84. The fellas reflect on his monumental legacy as the former EIG chairman and the leader who spearheaded the drive to save the Oilers from relocation in the 1990s. Without Cal Nichols, there is no Rogers Place, no McDavid era, and no NHL hockey in Edmonton. The boys dive into what he meant to the franchise and the entire city.
Shifting to on-ice action, hockey is officially back! The Oilers Rookies head to Calgary tonight to battle the Flames prospects in their first game action of the season. The fellas break down who they’re keeping an eye on tonight while looking back at the young guns’ weekend team-building retreat—which prompts Nielson, Benny, and Trev to brainstorm what an ultimate EST team-building experience would actually look like!
Finally, as Stanley Cup expectations hit an all-time high, the boys debate a hot topic around Oil Country: Should the Oilers embrace being the ultimate NHL villains this season? From media pressure to opposition arenas hating #97 and #29, is it time for Edmonton to fully lean into the dark side on their quest for the Cup?
The Oil Stream is presented by Boston Pizza!
