Bruce Cassidy to Edmonton? | The Knoblauch Rift & Oilers Chaos | 2 Guys & A Goalie   The temperature in Oil Country has officially reached a boiling point. Just weeks after a shocking first-round exit at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks, the rumors of a total organizational overhaul are no longer just whispers—they are headlines. Dusty and Gager are diving headfirst into the bombshell reports that have the hockey world in a frenzy.   On today's show: The Bruce Cassidy Pursuit: Reports from Frank Seravalli and other insiders have confirmed the Oilers have sought permission to interview former Stanley Cup winner Bruce Cassidy. We discuss the "gamesmanship" currently playing out as the Vegas Golden Knights reportedly withhold permission for their divisional rival. Is Cassidy the "hired gun" the Oilers need to finally crack the code? Where did it go wrong for Knoblauch?: Kris Knoblauch took this team to back-to-back Finals, but after an "average" 2025-26 season and a rumored rift with GM Stan Bowman, the ice has never been thinner. We break down the reports of friction between the bench and the front office regarding lineup decisions and why the "connection" in the locker room seems to have evaporated. Contender or Pretender?: Does hiring a tactical, direct coach like Cassidy suddenly make the Oilers a Cup favorite again, or is Craig Button right that no coach can fix the "glaring holes" in this roster? We debate if this is a masterstroke move or just a desperate attempt to fix a management problem with a coaching change. The Core's Reaction: How would Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl feel about another new voice behind the bench? With only 700 days left on the captain's clock, we discuss if the stars are on board with a coaching carousel or if they are looking for stability and roster upgrades instead. The "Chiarelli 2.0" Narrative: We take a hard look at Stan Bowman's tenure and ask if these aggressive coaching moves are a sign of a focused leader or a GM trying to find a scapegoat for a roster that has regressed.   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction! 

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. Plenty of great confessions from the boys today, especially YTT...    To cap off hour two, CPKC Women's Open Tournament director, Brian Newton joined the show to highlight this event.   

Who does Craig Button think that the San Jose Sharks should pick at No. 2? (00:04:32) Button is on the hot seat from the first question! If the Toronto Maple Leafs pass on Gavin McKenna, would Button take Chase Reid over McKenna? Is Reid his clear-cut top defenseman of the 2026 Draft over Keaton Verhoeff, Carson Carels, Alberts Smits, and Daxon Rudolph? Is Ivar Stenberg vs. Caleb Malhotra a discussion? Could Malhotra make sense for the Sharks? (00:27:44) Why is Reid so exciting to Button? Would Button trade the No. 2 pick for a star NHL defenseman? Button shares a possible target for the San Jose Sharks' No. 19 or 20 pick. What did Button think of Michael Misa and Sam Dickinson's rookie seasons? Why is he high on Leo Sahlin Wallenius and Eric Pohlkamp? (00:46:09) Dan Boyle and Zubair Jeewanjee jump on to talk about the playoffs! Why has Boyle been so impressed by Quinn Hughes? What did he think about the Norris Trophy voting? Boyle has no issue with Evan Bouchard getting passed up. He also shares his thoughts about potential UFA target Darren Raddysh. (01:11:27) Would we trade the No. 2 pick for Werenski? (01:32:22) We chat about the Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews to the San Jose Sharks speculation. (01:38:35) Our thoughts on how Toronto Sun reporter Steve Simmons approached the John Chayka press conference. Sheng Peng also recalls making Macklin Celebrini walk off in a post-game press conference this season and asking David Quinn about his job status three years ago. Who are realistic free agency or trade targets on defense for the San Jose Sharks this off-season? Keegan McNally wrote a great article about it recently! (02:27:04) Peng gives a more concise explanation for why he didn't vote Celebrini No. 1 for the Hart Trophy. (02:39:01) Finally, who do we think the Sharks should pick at No. 2?
