We got the third hour started with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia.    It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.   We closed out the show with Ryan Rishaug, and there was no shortage of fireworks regarding the Oilers' coaching carousel. Ryan broke down the "conundrum" currently facing the organization and the complex optics of moving on from Kris Knoblauch. We also pivoted to the Vegas Golden Knights' role in this saga, debating whether their reported refusal to grant interview permission is a savvy business move or a bad look for the league.   We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff. 

Jamie McLennan joined the show to provide a deep dive into the coaching firestorm in Edmonton. "Noodles" didn't pull any punches, arguing that a change behind the bench was overdue and outlining the specific coaching profile needed to stabilize this roster. Beyond the X's and O's, the former NHL netminder broke down the ongoing crisis in the Oilers' crease and questioned if a coaching swap is enough—or if the real issues stem from the front office. We wrapped up with his pulse check on the rest of the NHL playoff bracket.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   We then gave some Free Advice for Damon Bunting. As always, the boys provided some great advice today.   Chris Morris joined the show to wrap up hour two with a comprehensive update from Edmonton Elks training camp.

The rumors are no longer just whispers—reports have officially surfaced that the Oilers are hunting for a new head coach, and they have a specific target in their crosshairs.   We got things started today with Morning Announcements for The Rundle Park Short Course to recap everything that transpired yesterday in the world of sport.

We kick off today's show with Craig Button, and he didn't hold back on the rumors swirling around 104th Avenue. With reports that the Oilers have sought permission to interview former Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy, Craig gave us a 'reality check' on the coaching carousel. He argued passionately that while Cassidy is a proven winner, a change behind the bench won't fix the fundamental roster flaws—specifically a -13 goal differential—that have plagued this team all season. We then shift our focus to the Western Conference semifinals, where the Colorado Avalanche took a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Wild. Craig breaks down how Colorado's depth players, like Parker Kelly and Ross Colton, have turned the tide while the stars were under fire.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   We then got to Weekly Confessions for Spectrum Rent All.

We kick off the week with TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, who helps us navigate the eerie 'calm before the storm' in Edmonton. With the offseason officially underway, Dregs weighs in on the brewing power struggle at 104th Ave—is it a bigger risk to stay the course with the current coaching staff, or to hit the reset button behind the bench yet again? We then shift our focus East, where the Montreal Canadiens have the hockey world buzzing after a dominant Game 3 win over Buffalo. Dregs breaks down just how 'legit' this Habs run is before reacting to the Carolina Hurricanes making history with their second straight sweep. With the Canes now facing a massive 12-day layoff before the Eastern Conference Final, we discuss whether the rest will be a blessing or a rhythm-killer for the league's hottest team.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   After the break, we got into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop.
