EST Afternoons with Hernan Salas & Joaquin Gage

A fun segment kicks off Hour 2 as the boys go through an ESPN poll of NHL players asking which rule they would change or get rid of. Salas and Gage break down the players' answers and put each one through Keep It or Clip It. Then, in Majeau Knows, Marc Majeau joins the boys to talk NFL, CFL, the Emmys, and what's going on with the Detroit Red Wings after once being considered one of the NHL's model franchises. To wrap up the hour, Edmonton Oil Kings Director of Business Operations Kevin Radomski joins the show to tee up the upcoming season. The Oil Kings open on the road Saturday in Red Deer before returning home Sunday at 4 PM to host the Calgary Hitmen. Kevin also brings the heat with everything you need to know ahead of the Home Opener.

In Hour 1, Salas and Gage kick off the show with the young crop of NHLers getting paid early in their careers. With big-money, long-term deals being handed out after relatively few games, is the NHL shifting toward paying for potential rather than proven production? Plus, the Oilers may be getting a bargain with Connor McDavid's contract — and with that comes plenty of pressure. Then, Drew Mindell from Illegal Curve Hockey joins the program to preview the Winnipeg Jets. Where will the offence come from beyond the big three? Is the Connor Hellebuyck contract situation becoming a distraction? What can the Jets expect from prospect Viggo Björck? And can Winnipeg get back into the playoff picture? Plus, Noticias from around the sports world.

To start Hour 2, the boys welcome in Brenden Deeg from The Score to go around the NFL. Are the Chargers the biggest disappointment of the weekend? Josh Allen and the Bills pick up a huge win in Houston, the Bears look like they could be for real, and is there any hope left for Browns fans? Plus, much more from around the league. Then, Salas and Gage discuss Chris Kreider's contract with Montreal, Noah Östlund landing a big deal after just 68 NHL games, and whether the Oilers should sign Matt Savoie NOW.

Salas and Gage get right into it on the Monday edition as they recap Edmonton's thrashing of the Stampeders on Saturday, a win that clinched the Elks a playoff spot for the first time since 2019. The boys also discuss Connor Ingram calling it a career and the sad news of former Oilers chairman Cal Nichols passing away over the weekend. Salas and Gage remember an Edmonton icon who played a major role in keeping the Oilers in the city and saving hockey in Edmonton. Then it's a CFL recap with JC Abbott from 3DownNation. Are the Elks the best team in the CFL? What's gone wrong for Calgary, and where does the rivalry between Montreal and BC stand? Plus, a look at the Redblacks and their winless 0-12 season.

In the second hour, the boys discuss Dylan Larkin reporting to Red Wings camp but having the captaincy taken away from him. Plus, former Oiler John Klingberg announces his retirement, and the boys look ahead to the best games on the slate for the first NFL Sunday. Then, we head down Highway 2 for our Calgary Flames preview as Ryan Pike from Daily Faceoff joins the show. Where will the offence come from in Calgary? Can young defencemen Zayne Parekh and Simon Nemec lead the way from the backend? And what can we expect from the Flames' goaltending duo this season?

The boys kick off the show by teeing up Saturday's Labour Day rematch between the Edmonton Elks and Calgary Stampeders. Can the Elks make it two straight over Calgary? Then, they recap Thursday Night Football, where the San Francisco 49ers picked up a surprising win over the Los Angeles Rams. Did the Rams' travel plans play a role in the loss? We hear from Edmonton Oilers forward Ike Howard as he meets with the media ahead of rookie camp. Salas and Gage break down what Howard had to say and discuss why he needs to earn a top-six spot rather than have one handed to him. And it's back to the 80s, 90s and early 2000s for another edition of Zach to the Future. Was he an Oiler or an Elks player?

The NHL previews continue as Sean Farrell from NHL.com joins the show to talk Montreal Canadiens. Do the Habs have the best young core in the league?

Salas and Gage break down his comments and wonder if Leon Draisaitl was taking a few shots at former head coach Kris Knoblauch. Plus, more reaction to the Oilers signing Alex Formenton and the fallout from fans. The boys also recap a dud of an NFL opener as the Seahawks knocked off the Patriots, and look ahead to tonight's matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams. Then, it's time for the Red Light District, as Gager makes his case for why the CFL is more entertaining than the NFL!

We kick off our NFL season preview with a legend, as Lee Hacksaw Hamilton joins the show to go division-by-division around the league. Which teams are ready to take the next step, who could take a step back, and is this finally the year for Buffalo? Plus, can Caleb Williams continue to take another leap? We cover all that and much, much more. Then we continue our NHL previews with Josh Wegman from The Score, breaking down the Toronto Maple Leafs. Can Auston Matthews return to his best form? Have the Leafs finally figured out their goaltending with Bobrovsky? Can Darren Raddysh live up to his new contract, and how much pressure is on Gavin McKenna? Wegman also weighs in on Edmonton's signing of Alex Formenton, as Salas and Gage dig into some of the penalty-kill numbers behind the controversial addition.

The Edmonton Oilers make another controversial move, signing forward Alex Formenton to a one-year contract with an AAV of $850,000. Why did the Oilers go down this path again? Where does Formenton fit into the lineup, and does the signing reek of desperation? Formenton brings speed and youth, but his addition comes with plenty of questions. The Captain's Skate is underway in downtown Edmonton, and Connor McDavid speaks with the media about the Formenton signing, new head coach Mike Babcock and getting some extra time off this summer. Plus, in Hernan's World, the boys discuss Sportsnet's new NHL broadcast plans, including 150 regional blackouts being lifted, more than 550 games on the schedule and the return of Elliotte Friedman and Kevin Bieksa. Is Sportsnet finally giving hockey fans what they've been asking for?

Lots to get to on the show today as Gage and Salas recap the Edmonton Elks' impressive 38-28 comeback win over the Calgary Stampeders on Labour Day Monday.

Then we kick off our NHL season previews in the nation's capital, as Brandon Piller from the Locked On Senators Podcast joins the show.

It's Labour Day Weekend, and that means one thing — CFL action! Salas and Gage get set for a huge weekend, including the Elks taking on the Stamps.
