Episode 590: Oilers Fallout... & The Toronto Circus

The dust has finally settled on a heartbreaking week for Oil Country, and Dusty and Gager are reuniting for the first time since the Oilers were officially eliminated by the Anaheim Ducks. It's a sombre morning at the desk as the fellas dig into the wreckage of a season that ended far too soon and try to map out an uncertain future.   First Reactions: Dusty and Gager haven't spoken since the handshake line. They share their immediate thoughts on the 4-2 series loss and where the "Operation" went off the rails. The Exit Interviews: We break down a massive weekend of season-ending media availabilities. From Leon Draisaitl's admission that he is "concerned" to Connor McDavid's "average team" comments, we analyze the weight of those words. The Hot Seat: With the team taking what Draisaitl called a "big step backwards," is Kris Knoblauch officially under fire? We debate whether the coaching staff is to blame for the tactical regression or if the roster simply hit its ceiling. The Two-Year Clock: With McDavid only having two seasons left on his current deal, we address the elephant in the room: What does this offseason need to look like to ensure the captain stays in Edmonton long-term? Buzz In Toronto: We look East to the absolute chaos following the Maple Leafs' front-office shakeup. From the controversial hiring of John Chayka and Mats Sundin to the "disaster" of a press conference that followed, the guys react to the circus in the center of the hockey universe. Round 2 Pulse: The playoffs don't stop for the Oilers. We recap the weekend's NHL action, including the Hurricanes taking a 2-0 lead over the Flyers and the Golden Knights drawing first blood against the Ducks.   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!
