About this episode
Bob Stauffer , colour analyst for the Edmonton Oilers and host of Oilers Now on 630 CHED, joins John Shannon and Daren Millard on 100% Hockey to break down Edmonton’s sluggish start to the 2025–26 season. With Connor McDavid goalless through six games, Evan Bouchard and Darnell Nurse struggling to find consistency, and Zach Hyman’s injury leaving a major gap up front, the Oilers’ early performance has raised some eyebrows. Bob brings his perspective from inside the organization to discuss whether this is just another slow start for a proven team or an early warning sign of deeper issues. The three dive into lineup depth, defensive play, and how Edmonton can get back on track after back-to-back trips to the Stanley Cup Final.
