Hockey season is creeping closer, and the buzz is building in Downtown Edmonton! This episode, Brenden Escott is joined by Oilers Inside the Game analyst Rob Brown to break down everything happening behind the scenes at the unofficial captain’s skates. Who’s showing up early, who's making noise, and what does it say about the mindset in the Oilers room?

They also dig into the biggest question looming over Oil Country: What’s the latest on Connor McDavid’s contract extension talks? Rob and Brenden give their takes on where things stand, what it means for the franchise, and why fans should be watching closely.

And – good news for fans of #18 – they discuss Zach Hyman’s wrist injury recovery and what his return to full health could mean for Edmonton’s top six heading into the season.
