1:30pm Hour 3: Derek and Joe give their thoughts on the Stanley Cup Playoffs and how the Conference Finals were not competitive
Jeff Phelps and Guest Host Chris Fedor break down how Mike Brown has completely transformed the Knicks by adapting his offense mid-playoffs, turning Karl-Anthony Towns into a playmaking hub and building one of the best postseason offenses in NBA history from a coach known primarily for defense. The guys make the case that the Knicks are simply a more complete team than anyone they have faced, and Jalen Brunson's fourth quarter heroics against San Antonio are the latest proof that he can absolutely be the best player on a championship team. With a loaded Cavs offseason looming, the conversation turns to what Cleveland needs to do differently after getting bounced by this same Knicks group in the Conference Finals.

After a pretty brutal Conference Final round that felt over before it even started, the guys discuss whether hockey fans are truly excited for this Final or if the NHL is heading toward a bit of a “meh” ending to the season. Can Carolina and Vegas surprise people and deliver an unbelievable series or does this matchup just not have the juice that fans were hoping for? The boys break down the storylines, the pressure on both teams and why this Final somehow feels both really interesting and strangely underwhelming at the exact same time.

Well, what would you think we would do after a Saturday Game 7 win in the Conference Finals. Get together first thing on Monday morning, of course. Dylan Lieck from the Slobberknocker Sports Podcast joins us again to break down the X's and O's from Game 7 and look forward to the NBA Finals. What a weekend. And if you are in the business of horn repair in South Texas, business is booming (see what we did there). Then at the end, perhaps a little ice gets thrown. Enjoy the ride, folks. We are planning to be back later in the week, so stay tuned.
We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way! First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones continue with their Conference Finals analysis! The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs will play a Game 7 this weekend -- the first we've seen in the Western Conference Finals since 2018! They discuss the biggest storylines, adjustments from Game 5 to Game 6, and the potential counterpunches we may see in a pivotal Game 7. From there, Nekias gets #BigMad and lets off steam about the recent rounds of award voting. Finally, the guys shift to the WNBA to bounce around! They salute the league-best Minnesota Lynx, headlined by Rookie of the Year frontrunner Olivia Miles, a trio of former All-Stars (Natasha Howard, Courtney Williams, Kayla McBride), and the two-way production of veteran newcomer Nia Coffey. Props are also given to the Dallas Wings, winners of four of their last five since their headline-grabbing loss to the Lynx a couple of weeks ago.

*Disclaimer*There is some noticeable audio feedback at 03:00- 20:18. That is on producer Reece and will not happen again I apologize for the impact on your listening!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 the Oilers' coaching situation, Evan Bouchard's injury at Worlds, the Conference Finals, line combinations, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the boys have a problem with the Oilers allowing their players to participate in the World Championships, given what happened to Evan Bouchard yesterday against the USA. While it's definitely unfortunate to see that Bouchard got injured, the boys made a good case for why he should have gone to this tournament, given his hopes of playing for the Canadian Olympic team. Shifting gears, the boys looked at the latest news on the Oilers' coaching search, including quotes from Kelly McCrimmon and Bruce Cassidy after they were asked about the situation. Despite Kelly McCrimmon saying the Oilers leaked the story and that they don't want to talk about this any further, Vegas' GM keeps booking himself for radio appearances where he invariably gets asked about it. Needless to say, this situation keeps getting weirder as more details become available. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the conference finals nearly wrapped up, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, most related to the Oilers' needs for the off-season, some not, but that's the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

Dan and Shawn are joined by NHL.com columnist Nick Cotsonika for his perspective on the postseason dominance by the Vegas Golden Knights, as Vegas stuns the NHL with a sweep of Presidents' Trophy winner Colorado to reach their third Stanley Cup Final in the franchise's nine-year history, and the influence of VGK's late-season hiring of head coach John Tortorella on the team's current run. The guys open the show with reaction to Wednesday's dominant 4-0 win by the Carolina Hurricanes, as the Canes take a 3-1 lead on the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference Final, and wrap the show with discussion about Colorado's future after their postseason exit.
