Boomer, Pinder and Rhett dive back into the increasingly chaotic Mike Babcock situation as the Edmonton Oilers' coaching search takes another dramatic turn. What initially looked like a controversial hire has now become even more complicated after reports surfaced that the NHLPA has formally requested the NHL delay Babcock's hiring until a full investigation can be completed. The guys discuss the latest reporting, why this story refuses to go away, and what it means for both Babcock and the Oilers moving forward. They also revisit the allegations that led to Babcock's resignation in Columbus before he ever coached a game and debate whether Edmonton should continue pursuing him at all. With the NHLPA, NHL and Oilers now all involved, the biggest question is simple: how does this actually end? Does Babcock eventually get the job, or has this process become too messy to move forward? Let us know what you think in the comments.Video Link: https://youtu.be/Z3Asa_L2t9M#nhl #nhlshorts #nhlplayoffs #nhlpredictions #nhlhockey #nhlpicks #stanleycup #stanleycupfinal #edmontonoilers CHECK OUT OUR STUFF ⬇️BARN BURNER MERCHhttps://nationgear.ca/collections/shirts/FlamesnationBARN BURNER SHORTS https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj_bcGtvvo-cW2DHEDZ6dEO5ePDmlhZc9&si=jo8iNGxT4ImhS2Y8

An absolute franchise-altering atomic bomb has just detonated over Oil Country. The Oil Stream is live on Edmonton Sports Talk, and today Reid Wilkins and Hernan Salas are stepping up to lead the charge on what is officially the wildest Friday in recent Oilers history! Grab a beverage and lock in, because the boys are breaking down a massive roster development from every single angle. On Today's Show: The Bombshell: Darnell Nurse Wants Out! It is official. Reports from Elliotte Friedman and Mark Spector confirm that veteran defenseman and alternate captain Darnell Nurse has formally requested a trade out of Edmonton. After 12 seasons and nearly 800 games in the blue and orange, #25 is ready for a fresh start. The boys dive straight into the deep end of the chaos: Where will he go? With early leaks connecting him to teams like the Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins, what does his 3-to-5 team trade list actually look like? What will the return be? How does Stan Bowman navigate trading a massive $9.25M cap hit with four years remaining and a full No-Movement Clause? Will the Oilers be forced to retain salary or give up a major sweetener? Is this good for the Oilers? Does clearing this cap space unlock the financial flexibility management desperately needs to rebuild the blue line, or does losing a core leadership piece create a massive hole? Is it good for Darnell? Does escaping the high-pressure Edmonton media fishbowl allow Nurse to revitalize his game elsewhere? The Ongoing Coaching Carousel: Even with the Nurse news taking over, the head coaching vacancy isn't going anywhere. Reid and Hernan look at where things stand with the ongoing Mike Babcock saga, the public pushback, and whether this sudden roster shakeup changes the front office's blueprint for their next bench boss.

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.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Darnell Nurse's trade request, where he might end up, the Mike Babcock situation, line combinations, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not Darnell Nurse carries more risk than some fans are acknowledging. Given the minutes he plays and his constant availability, it's worth having a discussion about whether or not moving on from the player will create a bigger hole than some people think. While there's no debate that the contract has become an issue, there is still a strong hockey player there that the team will likely be without when the next season rolls around.Shifting gears, the guys continued with the Darnell Nurse conversation with a look at what trading him might even look like. His contract is obviously a massive part of the story when it comes to moving him, but that shouldn't suggest that Nurse carries zero value on the trade market. But what kind of trade should Oilers fans even expect? From there, the boys spoke about the never-ending coaching drama that's raging on after news broke earlier in the week that the team is interested in Mike Babcock. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, Ask the Idiots questions, and Hot and Colder Performers to wrap up the week. The guys also discussed the Stanley Cup Final and how the Carolina Hurricanes have a chance to close things out in Game 6 on Sunday night. They also discussed the NBA Finals and how the Knicks' comeback wins have been wild to watch. Speaking of wild to watch, seeing Knicks fans beating up Spurs fans just for wearing team merch ranks right up there for being nuts.

The Los Angeles Kings have turned to Peter Laviolette as their new head coach, a move that feels like a logical short-term fit for a team looking to remain competitive while its young core continues to develop. In Edmonton, reports that several Oilers stars played a major role in interviewing Mike Babcock have sparked debate about how much influence players should have in coaching hires and where the balance of power lies between the dressing room and management. The Babcock process remains in limbo with no clear timeline for the league's review, leading to questions about whether the Oilers could revisit Bruce Cassidy if things fall apart, or whether they already know Vegas won't permit that conversation. Meanwhile, the Stanley Cup Final is tied after Carolina's Game 4 win, powered by two more goals from captain Jordan Staal, who has been a dominant force at age 37 with five goals in four games and countless key faceoff victories. The series has produced an incredible 33 goals through four games, the second-highest total in Final history at that stage, fueled by relentless pressure and goaltending that has been solid but hardly dominant.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Darnell Nurse trade request, the Mike Babcock rumours, and much more.The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Darnell Nurse trade request that just came down today, and how it seems like we're walking toward the end of an era in Edmonton. While there's little doubt that Nurse's contract became a problem, the reality is that he was also a very good Oiler for a very long time. Despite the contract being a sticking point, the reality is that Nurse is a guy who gave his all to the city and the franchise.Shifting gears, the boys discussed the Mike Babcock rumours that have kicked up over the last week, and how just hearing his name was enough to trigger the entire fanbase. While there are a handful of Oilers fans who legitimately think this could work, the vast majority of them hate the idea to their core. That led the boys to discuss which guys would be better options for the Oilers, and whether they would even be interested in getting out of their own way.Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with a breakdown of the Knicks' Game 4 win, New Yorkers embracing the moment, and recapped Tyler's trip down to Vegas, what it was like being at the Cup Final when you don't care. Even with the lack of Oilers games, it's always remarkable to see how much news can happen in Edmonton even though the team hasn't been on the ice in months. Hosted on Acast.

The Stanley Cup Final is four games deep, and we're breaking down everything we've seen from the series so far, including our updated predictions, biggest surprises, and whether momentum has shifted heading into the final stretch. We also dive into the latest Dylan Larkin trade rumors, with reports linking the Red Wings captain to Florida, Minnesota, and Vegas. Which destination makes the most sense, which teams need him the most, and what could Detroit realistically expect in return for a player with four years remaining on his contract?   We also discuss the Edmonton Oilers' decision to hire Mike Babcock as their next head coach, whether coaching was truly the team's biggest issue, and what Babcock brings to the table that Kris Knoblauch didn't. Plus, we react to the latest NHL Awards, including the Jack Adams, Norris, Ted Lindsay, and Vezina Trophy winners, before making our own predictions for who will take home the Hart Trophy.   In this week's Money Moves segment, we examine the Minnesota Wild's six-year extension for Michael McCarron and what it means for their salary cap situation moving forward, as well as Evgeni Malkin's new one-year deal to remain in Pittsburgh. Would we have made the same decisions if we were running those organizations?   Finally, we continue our offseason Team In Review series with the Vancouver Canucks, Chicago Blackhawks, and Calgary Flames, identifying the biggest priorities each franchise must address this summer. We wrap things up with another edition of Flaming Hot Takes, where we each bring two bold NHL predictions and put them to the test.   #NHL #Hockey #StanleyCupFinal #StanleyCup #NHLPlayoffs #ConnorMcDavid #NathanMacKinnon #DylanLarkin #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #VegasGoldenKnights #FloridaPanthers #MinnesotaWild #MikeBabcock #NHLRumors #HockeyPodcast #AfterTheHorn #GuerillaSports #HockeyTalk #NHLNews Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It's been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I've got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today's podcast, I discussed the Stanley Cup Final, the Oilers' plan to hire Mike Babcock, the NHLPA asking for an investigation, and more. Needless to say, it's been a busy week around here.I kicked off this week's episode with a run-through of what's been happening in the Stanley Cup Final and how I really haven't watched more than a few minutes of it. I know everyone keeps saying that this Final has been electric, and the scores certainly suggest that to be true, but I'm still over here holding a grudge about how Edmonton's season ended. Though that grudge isn't exactly softening after the news came out this week that the Oilers are looking at Mike Babcock to be their solution behind the bench. Given Babcock's sketchy past and lack of success in nearly two decades, I think it's fair to say that many Oilers fans were less than thrilled about the idea.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about my off-season peace before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive this week, and I had a great time hearing everyone's thoughts on whatever you wanted to talk about. The voicemail is the best way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode. Having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better. Want to leave a voicemail for next week's show? Do it here!

The hockey world is spinning, the rumours are flying, and the big boys are finally back together. Today, Joaquin Gage (Gager) is anchoring the ship alongside YouTube Trev! It's been a hot minute since these two shared the airwaves, so the fellas have plenty of catching up to do before they dive headfirst into the absolute storm surrounding the Orange and Blue!   On Today's Show: The Mike Babcock Era—This Might Be Real: The noise around the rink isn't slowing down. Reports keep pointing toward Mike Babcock becoming the next bench boss of the Edmonton Oilers. Gager and Trev lay it all out on the table: Is he truly the right man to lead this star-studded group to a Stanley Cup? The boys break down the ultimate pros and cons of bringing such a rigid, high-pressure coach into a room that already features the best players on the planet. The Darnell Nurse Dilemma: This is where things get really interesting. How does a potential Babcock hiring affect Darnell Nurse? Gager gives the player perspective on whether a coach with Babcock's strict defensive accountability can finally unlock the elite, shutdown version of Nurse we've all been waiting to see. On the flip side, Trev looks at the asset-management angle—does this hire create a structural change that forces management to finally pursue a blockbuster trade to clear out that massive contract? The Nasties Text Line: The chat is already buzzing, and the text boards are wide open. The boys spend plenty of time reading your live feedback, checking the temperature of Oil Country, and letting the fans dictate the chatter.   The Oil Stream is presented by Boston Pizza!
