Plus, could changes be coming as soon as this week for the Vancouver Canucks?? According to Dregs, Bruce Boudreau's position behind the Canucks bench could be vacant any day now. Betano's Kris Abbott was absent as he's galavanting in Greece; he'll be saying ‘Opa!' when he hears the guys praise his NHL bets. However, it was another team ‘L' on NFL picks as Aaron Rodgers heard the pod picked the Cowboys, and promptly got his groove back.

Marc-Andre Fleury was watching Trevor Zegras' theatrics from the bench last night, but the superstar NHL goalie has a plan to stop guys from trying 'lacrosse goals' on him… He talked his ‘friendly' rivalry with Brendan Gallagher, newer sticks giving every player bruising shots, and his ability to keep it light while competing.

Ray's feeling like a ‘Rockstar' after seeing Post Malone live in-concert with his boys, but it was another celebrity making noise in the hockey world this week. Ray and Dregs kick things off talking Deadpool aka. Ryan Reynolds and the hype surrounding his interest in buying the Ottawa Senators.  The Boston Bruins signing, and subsequent un-signing, of Malcolm Miller has been a mess from start-to-finish: NHLPA ramifications, lack of foresight for the victim, and the onus of responsibility needed from Miller's parents are discussed. On the ice, the Bruins are rolling, while their most-recent opponent is not. The St. Louis Blues are now on a 7-game slide, the guys ponder if there's a disconnect between the team and coaches, and talk star players needing to step into their roles. Western Canadian teams are all taking some L's recently. Edmonton Oilers' penalty killing, and Calgary Flames' growing pains are amongst reasons for concern in those markets. However, the Vancouver Canucks issues seem to be reaching a boiling point. Canucks President, Jim Rutherford's thinly veiled comments at Head Coach Bruce Boudreau, along with captain Bo Horvat's pending UFA status, and a lacklustre record; might just spell the end for this core. The guys examine whether or not a rebuild could be coming on the Westcoast. Kris Abbott has his voice back and is using it to shed light on the “1” blemish on Ray's 5-1 NFL picks record. He recounts a rollercoaster of emotion as he came oh-so-close to hitting his first-half Bills/Jets bet.

This is NOT a drill! Well, It kind of is... But, only for a few more days! Coaches are putting the final touches on their rosters as the puck is set to drop in under a week on the new NHL season!   Our interview with Kent Hughes stirred the pot last week as the Habs GM's quote on Juraj Slafkovsky made waves in Montreal. Ray and Dregs talked the first overall pick and why the Canadiens have no cause for concern. Headlines continued with an interesting tidbit on Habs HC Marty St. Louis' coaching tactics, whether Darryl Sutter is ‘throwing shade' at Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk, and Ray takes us inside the mind of an NHL player during the pre-season. After recent events with Miami Dolphins QB, Tua Tagovailoa, the guys discuss concussions and the need for more oversight in keeping players safe across all sports.

The guys discuss the latest NHL headlines from around the league including the massive hit and resulting injury to Trevor Zegras last night and debate whether players watching in the pressbox should be able to be inserted during games to cover off injured players - instead of what currently happens where forwards play D. Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes joins Ray and Darren and talks how he got the gig, his working relationship with Jeff Gorton, the positive vibes around the team now, his unconventional hiring of 'bantam coach' Marty St-Louis, how the evaluation process worked out on them ultimately choosing to draft Juraj Slafkovsky first overall, and much more.

Of course, the Flames are amongst topics discussed, a huge roster overhaul makes them the most compelling team to watch this season. Also, the albatross Toews and Kane contracts, and their not-so-secret dissatisfaction with the direction of the Chicago Blackhawks. Plus, a fiery Maple Leafs Head Coach, Sheldon Keefe, has Ray recounting his playing days and tough coaching styles.

Welcome to another episode of The Oil Stream with Dustin Nielson and Tom Gazzola, presented by Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. Nielson & Gazzola bring you the first ever on location of The Oil Stream at the Capilano Boston Pizza location! The boys try to figure out why the Patrick Kane talk simply won't go away, would he even want to come to Edmonton? The boys also give you a breakdown on the blueline and if that's where assets should be directed if need be.  Gazzola gives you the best sneak peek of the new retro jersey that we've seen so far.  Thanks to everyone who came out and joined us at Boston Pizza, look forward to doing it again next month.

Robin Hatch (musician) doesn't pick up the block from the man himself, but a tweet cheekily comparing her positive album review in the Guardian with a less-than-positive review of Kanye's album "Donda" in the same publication earns her a lot of unwanted attention from people who don't quite understand the joke, to the point where she even takes a phone call about it offline. This episode starts with some offline content too, as the Blocked Boys and Robin ponder stick families and Robin offers up yet another pronunciation of "decal" we bet you didn't see coming. From there, we get into Boston Pizza, Tim Hortons' weird "Dream" donuts, celebrity trading cards, the Trapt guy, and Robin gets into it with Selena Gomez's fanbase--which we learn are called "Selenators"--in an attempt to get blocked for the pod.

ALL the adjectives for the Season Finale! A marathon 16-hour drive while fighting COVID symptoms (but testing negative) couldn't stop Dregs, while Ray flew in just in time from TSN's Free Agent Frenzy to record this special BONUS episode for you. With NHL off-season moves in full swing, the guys breakdown the latest (and most shocking) news from free agency, and look ahead to next season.  How about Columbus!? The guys discuss their reaction to Johnny Gaudreau shocking the hockey world and choosing the Blue Jackets. Headlines continues with Vegas Golden Knight cap woes, giving away Max Pacioretty, and the ‘swinging for the fences' approach. Meanwhile, do the Carolina Hurricanes have this whole cap thing figured out? Plus much more on a crazy start to the off-season, Nazem Kadri's eventual destination, and the big winner the Ottawa Senators!? Ask R&D sees questions on NHL player mindset during different transaction periods, Ottawa Senators playoff chances (YES, you read that correctly), and a special collection of Ray Ferraro hockey cards!

The end of an epic Stanley Cup Final means another hockey season is in the books! Ray and Dregs are winding down Season 3 of the podcast as well, BUT, not before another episode (or maybe two)! The guys put a bow on a busy NHL season as only they can, with candid takes and in-depth banter that you expect from two of the best in the biz!  Ray and Dregs discuss the brilliance of the Colorado Avalanche championship team, and how it might change this off-season. Goaltending is a hot topic as Darcy Kuemper adds ‘Stanley Cup Winner' to his resume and tough off-season decisions can't wait with the NHL Draft around the corner. Darren's phone is buzzing away as hockey's #1 insider checks the pulse on HEATING up trade talks in the NHL. Kevin Fiala to LA was the first domino to fall as the cap continues to force GM's to lose key players.  Hockey Canada continues to face backlash over their handling of an alleged sexual assault by eight players in 2018. TSN's Rick Westhead first reported on the story, and now sponsors are taking action by pulling their longstanding support of the organization. The guys take pause on a story that goes beyond hockey and address the disturbing allegations, accountability for the organization, and the education needed to prevent similar incidents the future. Coolbet Kris is out east celebrating his birthday, and the Wi-Fi gave him no choice but to unplug! The guys are left to ‘stomach' Joey Chestnut and the American tradition of Nathan's hot dog eating contest. Ask R+D sees questions on a talented Winnipeg Jets forward who's name keeps coming up in trade-talks… Blake Wheeler, inevitably leading to more discussion on Pierre-Luc Dubois. Ray's asked about which goalies he loved to score on most, and what injuries he played through. Plus, Dregs in a bar fight!? Ray's not the only one who's had to battle through injuries in his career!

We all played a collective game of “Where's Waldo?” at the conclusion of Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. First, finding the puck on Nazem Kadri's (eventual) OT winner, then counting the players on the ice after Jon Cooper hinted at a missed Too Many Men call in his bizarre post-game presser. In any case, Game 5 is here, and it's sure to be beautiful!  The guys have you covered for everything Avalanche/Lightning including what Ray heard between the benches and in his headset, other missed calls, and potential rule (and hockey net?) changes in the NHL.  Florida Panthers Head Coach Paul Maurice has that new coach glow, or in this case tan! Maurice discussed why he felt it was time for a change after 9 seasons behind the bench for the Winnipeg Jets, gave us the play-by-play on his hiring in Florida, including a 10-hour interview with GM Bill Zito, plus detailed his off-season preparation, and the opportunity ahead of the Panthers.  Maurice takes the place of Jack Adams finalist, Andrew Brunette. Brunette and his future with the Panthers (or another team) are amongst topics discussed in Headlines this week. Pending RFA Pierre-Luc Dubois informed the Jets he wants to test free agency in 2024, which has the guys speculating on how Winnipeg proceeds, and if Dubois is developing a ‘reputation' after wanting out of Columbus too.  Ask R&D sees questions on Ray's playing career, what it would have meant to have a 'day with the cup', and his memorable European teammates. A Leafs fan asks: “what could've been?” with Nazem Kadri, and who would you rather have ripping one-timers on the powerplay? Brett Hull or Ovy? Coolbet Kris is on hiatus soaking up the sun, so the guys are left to discuss a hefty payday for anyone who has Tampa pulling off the unlikely comeback, and the over/under in what's been a high-scoring series.

What a whirlwind month for Bruce Cassidy: A hard-fought 7 game series vs. Carolina, to losing his job as Bruins Head coach, to being re-hired across the country! Bruce discussed the “gut punch” of his firing in Boston, lessons from a hard conversation with Bruins GM Don Sweeney, and new beginnings with old friends in Vegas. PLENTY is covered in Headlines this week. The guys chime in on a fast Avs start in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, the expected Lightning bounce-back, and how size has prevailed on defence. Off-season chatter includes cap maneuvers in the Weber/Dadonov deal, if Montreal goes Slafkovský or Wright, and why first overall might not be the only noise the Canadiens make on Draft Day.

When you're on Nathan MacKinnon's team, you can't just eat, you have to be "eating to win a championship". That is, according to former Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Calvert. Calvert talks the bittersweet emotions of watching the Avs make the Stanley Cup final, his new venture, CAL Sports Management, and has a bone to pick with Ray for chirping his breakaway on live TV! Ray and Dregs discuss the Lightning ‘flipping a switch' to make the Eastern Conference final a best-of-three, how a stacked Avs lineup matches up vs. either of the remaining world-class goalies. Plus, why Oilers fans should be proud of the season they had, but if the salary cap will keep them from being a team that gets those last ‘8 wins'.  Coolbet Kris celebrates hitting a prop bet on an otherwise meaningless Panarin goal, chats the wild changes in odds after the Lightning erased a 2-0 Rangers lead, and looks ahead to Stanley Cup final. Ask R&D sees questions on the off-season, how soon players book tee-times/vacations after being ousted in the playoffs, changes to the high-stick rule, and more!

Ray and Darren delve into the wild start to the Battle of Alberta - how it was fun for everyone - except if you were a goalie.  They talk expectations for Game 2 including for the goaltending to look much better on both ends of the ice and what playing style it will take to get through. The guys discuss the Tkachuk family and why no one should be slamming Brady for cheering on his brother Matthew in the playoffs - and having fun while doing so. Ray discusses whether Tampa is now fully switched into '3-peat mode'. The guys look at the Leafs offseason and what their on-ice priorities should be going into next year. and what's going on with the coaching rumor mill and Vegas and all the big coaching names on the market and teams waiting for Trotz to decide where he's going first. #AskRayandDregsAnything sees questions on whether there's a benefit to lack of travel in a series like the Battle of Alberta and get into the late start times and if that throws a wrench into a player's gameday preparations, and what Ray's biggest surprise of the playoffs thus far is. Coolbet Kris joins and talks about the over-under being 6.5 goals, and that typically being a higher number for the 2nd round of the playoffs and some value on betting the 'under' where the goaltending is stronger. Also touch on the PGA Championship and Rory's first round, and a few interesting live betting options, and Darren gets the guy's opinions on whether the O-Dog actually shot 65 - or not.
