    Flames Shock Oilers in NHL Opener | Riders Legends We Loved | Tackling Bethpage Black
    Oct 9 2025

    The Calgary Flames proved their resilience with a comeback win over the Edmonton Oilers — but what does this loss say about Stuart Skinner and the Oilers’ depth? Former Sportsnet 960 host Peter Klein shows how the Flames’ work ethic and gritty goals are becoming their identity.

    Plus, Peter answered a live chat question about my favorite Saskatchewan Roughriders to watch growing up — from Andy Fantuz and Nate Davis to Weston Dressler and Korey Sheets.

    Finally, Peter shared the audio from my video with Divot Disputes on the legendary challenge of Bethpage Black — one of golf’s toughest tests.

    • Intro (0:00)
    • Flames upset Oilers (1:42)
    • My Favourite Riders (14:18)
    • How Hard Is Bethpage Black (20:31)
