Let's do this! The Cult of Hockey podcast. By the Faithful! And for the Faithful! Tonight, Kurt Leavins and David Staples of the Edmonton Journal dig into the latest on Evan Bouchard's concussion, the Kelly McCrimmon, Bruce Cassidy fiasco, the Oilers looking at Peter Laviolette, Mike Babock, and Craig Berube for head coach, and the futures of Connor Murphy, Jack Roslovic, Max Jones, Tristan Jarry, Spencer Stastney, Trent Frederic, Kasperi Kapanen, Connor Ingram and others with the Oilers.
Dusty has the day off, but the studio is absolutely buzzing! Tom Gazzola steps into the host seat today on 2 Guys and a Goalie, and he's joined by Joaquin "Gager" Gage to tackle the single most controversial headline in Edmonton sports media right now. An article dropped in the Edmonton Journal yesterday, with the entire city losing its mind. The piece doesn't just critique the team—it takes a direct run at number 97, questioning his leadership style and aggressively asking: Should Connor McDavid even be the captain of the Edmonton Oilers? Gager and Tommy pull no punches as they dive headfirst into this massive debate. Is this critique completely unhinged journalistic malpractice, or is there a microscopic kernel of truth about what this room needs moving forward? The Roster & Rallies: Gager gives his raw, unfiltered perspective as a former NHLer on what McDavid brings to the table, how the room views him, and why turning on a generational superstar is a dangerous game for local media to play. The Coaching Carousel Search: While the captaincy debate continues, Stan Bowman is still locating his next bench boss. The boys update the timeline on Craig Berube and the strategic standoff with Vegas over Bruce Cassidy. What is taking so long, and who actually lands the job? 2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!

Episode 405: On the 17th of May 1984, 48‑year‑old Beverley Anne Dyke was found brutally murdered in a wooded area near Moray Street and Saskatchewan Avenue on the edge of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Her killing, a frenzied sexual assault and stabbing, left her family and the wider community fearing a predator was on the loose. For years, detectives chased dead ends and even a dramatic prison confession, but the real killer remained a mystery. It would take more than two decades, and a cold‑case DNA match, to finally reveal who murdered Beverley and why.

Episode 402: On July 31, 1987, an ordinary summer afternoon in Edmonton, Alberta, ended in catastrophe. A powerful tornado cut through the city's southeast, killing 27 people and leaving entire neighbourhoods destroyed in minutes. In this episode, we examine the second-deadliest tornado in Canadian history through firsthand survivor accounts and direct statements from officials who faced a disaster few believed could happen in a major Canadian city. The day would later become known as “Black Friday,” a name repeated in municipal histories and anniversary coverage. On July 31 itself, it was still just another Friday afternoon.
