Dustin Nielson and Joaquin Gage are back in the studio with plenty of meat on the bone. Today, they are transitioning from the chaotic offseason rumour mill straight into concrete dates, planning their road trips, and diving deep into a generational hockey nostalgia trip.    On Today's Show: The 84-Game Era Returns: The NHL has officially unleashed its massive 1,344-game regular-season schedule! With the league officially re-expanding to an 84-game slate and starting a bit earlier on September 29th, Dusty and Gager spend a massive chunk of the show circling key dates on the calendar. From the opening night showdown at Rogers Place against Manny Malhotra's Canucks to the brutal mid-winter road trips, the holiday home-stands, and the final stretch to the playoffs—the boys break down the strength of schedule and map out the Oilers' blueprint to the postseason. The Ultimate Oilers "What-If" Matrix: Grab a box of tissues or prepare to get your blood boiling. The boys are opening up the ultimate sliding-doors cabinet in Edmonton franchise history. They debate the massive, course-altering questions that still haunt the City of Champions: What if Chris Pronger never demanded a trade out of town, keeping the championship window open? What if Peter Pocklington's wallet was fat enough to keep Wayne Gretzky, or keep the 1990 dynasty core together before they got stripped for parts? What if the Oilers actually drafted local Alberta phenom Shane Doan (or Jarome Iginla) at the 1995 draft instead of Steve Kelly? What if the Ducks landed Sidney Crosby in the 2005 draft?   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!

Dustin Nielson and the resident brick wall, Joaquin Gage, finally share the desk again after a minute apart. The chemistry is flying, the dynamic is firing, and the fellas have an absolute mountain of hockey culture, gaming nostalgia, and tactical Oilers blueprints to tear through.   On Today's Show: The Face of Next-Gen Hockey: EA Sports just dropped a massive bomb on the gaming landscape, officially naming San Jose Sharks superstar phenom Macklin Celebrini as the cover athlete for NHL 27! At just 20 years old, he becomes the youngest cover star in the video game's legendary history. Dusty and Gager debate the pick: Is Celebrini the most exciting cover athlete we've seen in a hot minute? The Ultimate EA Nostalgia Trip: The Celebrini news opens up the historical vault. The boys look back at the most iconic, legendary cover athletes to ever grace the franchise—from Owen Nolan's called shot in NHL 2001 to Peter Forsberg on NHL 98. Who takes the crown for the greatest game cover of all time? Plus, the fellas check in on Benny, who is currently on an absolute, ungodly, legendary all-time heater in Chel. The Ultimate Oilers Energy Line Matrix: Shifting back to real life on the ice, Dusty poses a major depth-chart puzzle for Gager. With a heavily fortified roster heading into camp, what is the optimal layout for the Oilers' energy lines this season? The boys map out the combination of speed, physical heavy-lifting, and bottom-six grit needed to carry this team through a long Pacific Division grind. The Trivia Crease: To close things out, Dusty puts Gager right back in the hot seat with a brand-new, hilariously challenging game of Who's That Goalie? Can the former NHL netminder identify these obscure, forgotten crease-dwellers from the 90s and 2000s based on deep-cut career clues, or is he getting completely pulled from the net?   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!

We got the third hour started with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia.    It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.   Joaquin Gage then joined the boys in the middle of hour 3. He was the first and final guest on today's show. He stopped by to talk all things Oilers, Elks and gave some mad props to Zach for hosting EST Afternoons on Friday!   We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff. 

Reid Wilkins steps into the captain's chair to team up with former NHL netminder Joaquin Gage. Before the fellas dive headfirst into the tactical whiteboard, they have some critical tournament business to attend to. The boys open the show by shaking off the grass stains and recapping all the chaos, elite shots, and legendary laughs that went down at yesterday's highly anticipated 3rd Annual EST Golf Classic. Once the bragging rights are officially settled, the focus shifts entirely to the ice as a fascinating new era begins in Oil Country.   On Today's Show: The Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Crossroads: The biggest conversation in town centers around the longest-serving Oiler. With Stan Bowman installing Mike Babcock behind the bench, the guys debate what the tactical adjustment means for number 93. What should the realistic performance expectations be for Nuge under a notorious, black-and-white, hard-nosed coach like Babcock? Will the demanding system wear down the veteran, or will Babcock's strict emphasis on accountability and detail unlock an entirely new, elite layer of two-way play from the grizzled vet? Ducks Match Carlsson's Offer Sheet: 21-year-old Leo Carlsson is now the highest-paid player in the NHL after signing a five-year, $90M deal to stay in SoCal.

Dustin Nielson and former NHL netminder Joaquin Gage finally reunite to share the microphones. It has been quite some time since these two anchors shared the airwaves, so the boys open up the program with a much-needed catch-up on life, summer schedules, and golf games before plunging headfirst into a volcanic week of hockey headlines.   On Today's Show: Dusty & Gager Catch Up: Before tearing into the hockey whiteboard, the fellas trade some opening notes on where they've been, how they spent their recent time off, and why the studio chemistry hits completely differently when they're both locked into the microphones. Dissecting Stan Bowman's Massive Roster Overhaul: The boys spent a significant chunk of today's broadcast sorting through the volcanic ash of the recent open-market madness. From the historic decision to move Darnell Nurse's entire $9.25M contract to San Jose without retaining a single dollar, to the incoming depth signings, the landscape in Oil Country has fundamentally shifted. Gager and Dusty share their raw, unfiltered thoughts on the new structural look of this team. The Remaining Cap Room Crossroads: With the current depth chart taking shape, the Oilers still find themselves holding onto a healthy, unusual layer of cap flexibility. The boys debate the primary summer crossroads: Does Stan Bowman aggressively weaponize that remaining cash on the open market right now for a top-six forward, or do the Oilers play a tactical, highly patient waiting game until the trade deadline rolls around? The Leo Carlsson NHL Offer Sheet Bomb: The guys pull back the macro-lens to look at the massive roster anarchy that sent shockwaves through front offices on Friday afternoon. The Philadelphia Flyers completely shattered convention by dropping a historic five-year, $90 million offer sheet on Anaheim Ducks' 21-year-old star center Leo Carlsson. At an $18M average annual value, Dusty and Gager debate the immediate fallout: Will the Ducks blink and match the poison-pill contract? More importantly, is this ruthless tactic a definitive sign of things to come across the NHL as aggressive GMs start weaponizing offer sheets against rebuilding squads? Russian Bear Never Sleeps: Gager and Dusty take a different approach as they look at the greatest Russian NHLers of all time. Is Alex Ovechkin the obvious #1? Who comes in at #2? Do Nielson and Gager have different lists? Anybody on the rise?   2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!

Trev and Gager recap how they spent their Canada Days around town, and swap a few quick stories from the backyard barbecues. The Stan Bowman Roster Overhaul: The Oilers didn't just participate in Free Agent Frenzy—they completely controlled the news cycle.

Dusty asks the million-dollar question, and Gager puts his player hat on to deliver the blunt reality. Is it realistically possible for Stan Bowman to find a trading partner for Nurse's contract? Will Nurse be forced to expand his reported list of destination teams, or are the Oilers simply better off standing pat and keeping the veteran blueliner on the roster? Free Agent Frenzy Eve Blueprint: The open market officially detonates tomorrow at 10:00 AM MT. The fellas open up the wallet and map out the ultimate Oilers game plan.

With players having their say in Edmonton, does that change anything about the coach-hiring process around the league?
