    Jun 15 2026

    TSN hockey analyst Craig Button kicked off today's show to break down a massive weekend in the hockey world, starting with the Carolina Hurricanes capturing the 2026 Stanley Cup. Button weighed in on just how dominant this Hurricanes squad was throughout the postseason, the critical role of their goaltending, the undeniable impact of head coach Rod Brind'Amour, and what the future holds for the newly crowned championship club. From there, the conversation shifted to a busy offseason ahead for the Edmonton Oilers. With the finals officially in the books, Button discussed whether management will finally get their chance to speak with Bruce Cassidy, while also breaking down what the realistic trade market looks like for defenseman Darnell Nurse. To wrap up the segment, Button shared his thoughts on the future of John Tortorella behind the bench for the Vegas Golden Knights after coming up just short in the Finals.

    It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.

    CFL on TSN's Marshall Ferguson joined the boys in the middle of hour two to recap CFL week 2. Touched on the start of the season for CFL quarterbacks, Chad Kelly's first game in a few years and BC's struggling defense.

    We capped off hour two with MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. Who had the most impressive run, the Hurricanes or Knicks… the boys discussed.

    Jun 12 2026

    The absolute best insider in the business, Chris Johnston, kicked off today's show, and his phone has been ringing off the hook. We immediately dive into the atomic bomb that dropped on Oil Country: the Darnell Nurse trade request. Why is this happening now? Which teams around the league actually have the space to take on that $9.25M ticket, how much salary will Stan Bowman be forced to retain, and is there any realistic scenario where the Oilers actually win this trade? CJ has all the answers. Plus, we get the absolute latest update on the Mike Babcock league investigation—and if that hiring completely goes south, who is the next man up on Edmonton's coaching radar? We wrap up with CJ's thoughts on the Carolina Hurricanes sitting just one win away from the Stanley Cup.

    It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.

    In the middle of hour two, we got into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. Today, Wil told us about his cycling adventure he's hitting with his wife over the weekend and we continued the Darnell Nurse trade discussion as well in this segment. This took us to the end of hour two.

    Jun 11 2026

    Former Oiler Luke Gazdic was our first guest on today's program, and it couldn't have been a more perfect day to get a former player's perspective. We went straight into the deep end on the ongoing Mike Babcock saga. Luke shares his unique insight on the reports that the player leadership group has signed off on the move and tackles the million-dollar question: Does Babcock truly deserve a third chance in the NHL? We look at all the heavy cons, weigh them against the potential on-ice pros, and finish things off with Luke's breakdown of the Stanley Cup Final and who he is personally pulling for to lift the Mug.

    It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.

    After the break, we got into I Got Beef. Some great beefs from the boys today.

    Reid Wilkins capped off hour two. He touched on last night's historic game in the NBA finals, we then got into his beef and we couldn't avoid it any longer… We got right into the Oilers talk with his opinion on what's going down in Oil Country.
