Nielson & Gazzola tackle the biggest question facing the Oilers heading into the off-season, how will they create more cap space? Tommy has some juicy info on the Oilers plans for Zack Kassian. Is Mike Smith leaning towards retirement? Is moving Tyson Barrie nothing more than a back up plan? The boys also take a look back at the Leon Draisaitl draft. The Ken Morrison RE/MAX Question of the Day wraps up the episode!

Despite their Western Conference ouster, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl put on one of the most memorable playoff performances of recent memory. We discuss whether or not their play would be strong enough to garner attention for the Connn Smythe despite not reaching the Cup Finals. We also touch on the waves rocking the boat in Boston as Bruce Cassidy was fired earlier this week, three key veterans will miss the start of the season and now rumors are swirling that David Pastrnak may be dealt in the summer. We analyze Boston's outlook in the wake of this news and even find time to talk about Chris Osgood in the Hall of Fame as part of Chris' 11 Day Powerplay fundraiser.

TSN SportsCentre anchor Jennifer Hedger joins Game Play to break down the aftermath of the Oilers' loss in the Western Conference Finals. Hedger shares her thoughts on why she was so impressed with Leon Draisaitl's performance, why upgrading in net should be the Oilers' number one priority, the rowdy crowd at TD Garden during Game 3 of the NBA Finals, and more.

Robin und den Power Rankings.

Jeff and Greg kick off their weekly conversation talking about Igor Shesterkin's play in the last two games, the importance of Ryan Strome to the Rangers' lineup and how the long layoff may have evidently helped out the Lightning (01:44). To finish, the guys talk about Leon Draisaitl playing through a high-ankle sprain and what's next for the Boston Bruins this off-season (14:47). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Welcome to episode 38 of The Suitcase and The Scribe with Mike McKenna and Scott Burnside.  The Western Conference finalists are set after the Colorado Avalanche took care of business against the Edmonton Oilers. The injuries became a little too much for the Oilers to handle, with two of their stars, Darnell Nurse and Leon Draisaitl, caring significant damage.  Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Lightning have clawed their way back into their series against the New York Rangers in the east and are now tied up at two. The bottom six has shown up in the last couple of games for the Bolts, proving that depth matters again.  Also, on the show, Chris Wideman from the Montreal Canadiens joined Mike and Scott to talk about his new two year extension. They also dove into his time in Russia, having Marty St Louis as the head coach and how he once interned on Wall Street. The interview also contains a brief cameo from Wideman's dog.  Mike and Scott dove into the coaching news to close out the episode. Of course, this week's big news was the firing of Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy. Cassidy had a winning record in every season in Boston and guided them to the Stanley Cup finals in 2019 when they lost in game seven to the St Louis Blues. The question now lingers, what is going to happen next in Beantown? 

Avs sweep Edmonton to reach Stanley Cup Final, Mike Smith old and slow, Leon Draisaitl playing hurt, Colorado wins despite periods of disorganization, goaltending vs average QB play in winning a title, Shesterkin and Vasilevskiy, Kuemper and Francouz, Stanley Cup winning comps to this Avs team, Warriors 18-0 in West series under Kerr, Avalanche perfect on road this postseason, wedding crashers

On this week's Hockey Cards Gongshow Podcast the boys start with reviewing the soaring TV ratings and interest in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs, marvel at the surging prices for Cale Makar and look at other top playoffs performers; Nathan MacKinnon, Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Nikita Kucherov, Andrei Vasilevskiy, Igor Shesterkin, and Filip Chytil (2:00).  Next Josh and Troy debate their lists of the Top 5 Criminally Undervalued Vintage Rookies (32:00).  It looks like there's clarity (finally) for Upper Deck Series 2 release date,  checklist, and presale pricing (56:00).  As always, personal pickups are covered at the end of the show (1:05:00).

On today's episode of Locked on Oilers, we take an extensive look at the Playoffs that were for the Edmonton Oilers! What a season it was from going from not being in a playoff spot to playing Hockey in June, the Edmonton Oilers had a wild wide. Where did Leon Draisaitl suffer his ankle injury? Will Jay Woodcroft be back behind the bench next year? What did Jay Woodcroft do to help the Oilers? How did Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid become the most dominating players in the world? Plus, there is still playoff hockey in Edmonton as the Edmonton Oil Kings take on the Seattle Thunderbirds in the WHL Final! All that and more on today's episode of Locked on Oilers!

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Producer Sammy look back on Colorado's swift 4-game sweep of the Edmonton Oilers. We hear our first Kyper's Clipper from Mike Smith, before discussing the MVP of the series, if Artturi Lehkonen's overtime winner was assisted by a high stick, Leon Draisaitl's playing through injury, and Zach Hyman's 11 goals during the playoffs. Later on, Doug MacLean checks in on what's next in Edmonton, the need to acquire a number one goaltender, how their inter-province rivals in Calgary should approach next season, and the end of the Bruce Cassidy era in Boston (23:40). To wrap up, the guys look ahead to preview Game 4 between Tampa Bay and New York (42:36).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Jeff and Elliotte remark over how close the Western Conference Final was despite the sweep, Colorado's ability to slow down Edmonton's top group and the inspiring performance by Leon Draisaitl (00:08). Next, the guys look ahead at Evander Kane's future in Edmonton, the team's need to create cap space and Nazem Kadri's status ahead of the Cup Final (05:16). To finish up, Jeff and Elliotte react to Bruce Cassidy's firing in Boston, why a rebuild might not be imminent and sort through the coaching rumour roundup (12:40). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

TSN Radio Edmonton Host Jason Strudwick joined the OverDrive guys earlier today for his "OverDrive exit interview" following the Oilers being swept. He touched on that, Leon Draisaitl playing so well through injury & whether he would sign Evander Kane to a long-term deal.

General manager Don Sweeney says the search for a replacement will begin immediately. Boston made the playoffs in each of Cassidy's six seasons behind the bench. He coached the Bruins within one victory of the Stanley Cup in 2019. Cassidy immediately becomes a top candidate for vacancies in Philadelphia, Chicago, Winnipeg, Vegas and Detroit and any others that may now come open. The Bruins are expected to be without first-line left winger Brad Marchand and top defenseman Charlie McAvoy for at least the first two months of next season.   Cassidy was previously an assistant coach with the Chicago Blackhawks, he was also a head coach of the Grand Rapids Griffins.

Jeff Marek, host of The Jeff Marek Show and co-host of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast, joins the show to discuss Mike Smith's strong post-season play, the plethora of marquee head-to-head matchups in the Oilers-Avs series, Cale Makar's greatness, and where Andrei Vasilevskiy fits on the Mount Rushmore of clutch playoff goaltenders.

The most simple yet complex questions of the playoffs: who is going to step up? Sometimes it's a role player like Gabe Davis or Robert Horry. Sometimes it's a good player like Jimmy Butler ascending even higher. Right at the top are players like Lebron James, Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Nathan MacKinnon, and Cale Makar—stars who somehow become even more in the postseason.

In today's episode: (01:56-16:28) The NBA Finals are now set, as it will be the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics taking on the Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. In this exclusive preview, John says that the paths the two teams took to get to the Finals deserve respect, as they faced some of the very best players in the NBA to get to this point. The Celtics' first Finals in 12 years and the Warriors' sixth trip to the championship series in eight years (not done since the 1990's Chicago Bulls) will be a tremendous series with great matchups within this matchup, so who does John think will win and in how many games? (16:29-27:16) We now know the identities of the NHL's conference finalists. First, the Western Conference Final begins tonight between the Edmonton Oilers and Colorado Avalanche, and the highly anticipated first postseason meeting between superstars Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid, and it is with a Stanley Cup Final berth on the line. Can McDavid and wingman Leon Draisaitl carry the Oilers like they did in the series against the Calgary Flames? Or will the Avalanche's depth and physicality reign supreme? Then the East finals are now set between the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning and the upstart New York Rangers, who just took down the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 7 on Monday night. John reveals an inconvinent truth about New York hockey as it relates to this series. (27:17-51:07) This is John's first time reacting to the 2022 NFL Schedule since it came out on May 12 and he's got a lot of takes, and he even broke down the 272-game slate and revealed the results of him picking every game as the regular season begins exactly 100 days from today. What is the balance of power in the AFC West like? Can the Cowboys win the NFC East for the 2nd straight season against a much improved Eagles team? What will the Rams' title defense look like in the win-loss column?

The Leon Draisaitl Radio Hour takes over the start of the program. Patrick & Pat wax poetic on McDavid and Draisaitl's playoff performances. The dissect which of Gretzky's playing attributes each player absorbed. Then tangents finally enter the program: The Inaugural member of the Finnish Tripple Gold Club is inducted; The Career and Future of Joe Thornton [in the desert]; Why NHL Owners are OK with the Coyotes/ASU arrangement; Hatred of Toronto Media. Finally we break down the E:60 Unrivaled Documentary trailer. Was actual playoff hockey discussed: Who is to say?

The Avalanche have hit uncharted territory by making the Western Conference Final, but now the Edmonton Oilers stand in the way of a trip to the Stanley Cup Final. What are the biggest keys to this series for both sides? Do the Avalanche have the capacity to contain the historic paces of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl? Can the Oilers compete with the Avalanche's depth when the top line isn't on the ice? Can either Kuemper or Smith be relied on to take over this series? Also, both guys randomly just spew some utterly insane and unprompted takes about Gretzky and Fleury for some reason.

The Avalanche have hit uncharted territory by making the Western Conference Final, but now the Edmonton Oilers stand in the way of a trip to the Stanley Cup Final. What are the biggest keys to this series for both sides? Do the Avalanche have the capacity to contain the historic paces of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl? Can the Oilers compete with the Avalanche's depth when the top line isn't on the ice? Can either Kuemper or Smith be relied on to take over this series? Also, both guys randomly just spew some utterly insane and unprompted takes about Gretzky and Fleury for some reason.

A look back at the Battle of Alberta series win, Leon Draisaitl's record-setting production and how he's still somehow being overshadowed by McDavid's dominance. Then, which of Colorado or St. Louis presents a more favorable matchup in the Western Conference Final? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to another episode of The Oil Stream with Dustin Nielson and Tom Gazzola, presented by Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen! Nielson and Gazzola take a look at how it pretty much can't get any better for Oilers fans right now. The Oil just won four in a row knock off the Flames in five and in the process Connor McDavid was crowned the best hockey player ever, Leon Draisaitl set a record for points in a series and Zach Hyman scored in every game. The Ken Morrison RE/MAX Question of the Day wraps up the episode!

The Battle of Alberta is over and the Locked on Leafs crew couldn't help but give their thoughts on how the series ended. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti go through the controversial decision to overturn Blake Coleman's goal in the third period and whether the right call was made. They also discuss the impact Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl had on the series and why it's another lesson the Leafs can take from their exit from the playoffs. To end the show, Mike and Dave discuss William Nylander's final game at the World Hockey Championship and whether he can try to bring a different element to his game or if he isn't capable of doing it.

How about another fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to recap the Battle of Alberta and look ahead at the Western Conference Finals? Isn't it wonderful? On today's show, we talked about the Oilers bumping the Flames in five games, the Blake Coleman non-goal, Leon Draisaitl's brilliance, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio, the guys got started with a conversation about what went right for the Edmonton Oilers in their series against the Flames and why they were able to wrap it up in only five games. From the way the boys showed resilience on a nightly basis to Mike Smith outduelling Markstrom at the other end, the Oilers are having a whole bunch of things going their way while the Flames couldn't get anyone done whatsoever. From an Edmonton perspective, they played as well as anyone could have expected and Calgary simply had no answer. From there, we looked at the Coleman non-goal that was called back late in the third period and whether or not it was the right decision by the NHL. For all of us, we understood the logic behind calling it back but that didn't make the decision any less surprising in the moment. Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold performers to sum up the Battle of Alberta and look ahead at what is yet to come. 

Pete and Nick are joined by Lauren Jbara of Pickswise and Bally Sports South to break down the betting angles in each of the three remaining second-round series and react to the Avalanche, whom she covered in previous seasons, struggling to close out series. The crew identifies Conn Smythe Trophy contenders, including Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Leon Draisaitl, Igor Shesterkin, Andrei Vasilevskiy and Nazem Kadri, and Lauren gives her leanings on the Flames-Oilers and Hurricanes-Rangers series. 

The Calgary Flames' season is on the line tonight. A season's worth of hard work and determination could be behind them if Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk don't find their confidence and start scoring. Brett Holden of Locked On Oilers joins Jess Belmosto ahead of Game 5. Will Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl be advancing to the Western Conference Finals in front of a Calgary Flames home crowd? Chris Tanev was banged up after returning to the series but will he be available in game 5? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Jeff is joined by former Oiler and current analyst Luke Gazdic to discuss Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' tenure in Edmonton, if Evander Kane has been the best mid-season acquisition across the league and the subtleties of Connor McDavid's game (00:20).

The Oilers overcome a crazy Mike Smith gaffe and take a 3-1 series lead. The Flames are clearly trying to re-injure Leon Draisaitl's ankle. Marty St. Louis is reportedly going to get the Habs coaching job full time. And will the CFL cancel or postpone games because of the Canadian ratio rule? Do fans care that much about a CFL player's birth certificate anymore?

Harris Rubenstein covers the night in sports in the Buzzer Beats as the Warriors push the Mavericks to the brink of elimination with a 109-100 win in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals to take a 3-0 series lead. Harris also recaps a busy weekend in sports with the Stanley Cup Playoffs heating up, a historic triple double for Candace Parker to lift the Sky past the Mystics,  Justin Thomas winning the PGA Championship, Man City wins the English Premier League, and Juwan Howard turning down the Lakers overtures for their head coaching job. He also looks ahead to tonight's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals as well as a potential closeout game in the NHL with the Lightning looking to finish off the Panthers.Follow Harris on Twitter @sportstein, and join along with Buzzer Beats @buzzerbeats, and Buzzer @buzzer.Produced by Jared Moore (@MrJaredMoore) & Brian Roytman (@roytsounds).Music by Royt (@roytsounds).Presented by Buzzer.

TSN Radio Edmonton Host & friend of the show Jason Strudwick joined OverDrive earlier today following the Oilers 9-6 Game 1 loss to Calgary. He touched on the bad start, Mike Smith getting the net in Game 2 and how important it is for Leon Draisaitl to play at full strength.

TSN Hockey Insider joined OverDrive earlier today in-studio as the guys get into the Battle of Alberta kicking off tonight, how much Leon Draisaitl's injury could hinder him & whether we see Barry Trotz behind an NHL bench next season.

Jeff and Elliotte discuss Game 6 between the Leafs and Lightning, how the officiating is being viewed across the league and the importance of consistent calls (00:19). Next, the guys look at Edmonton sending their series to a seventh game, why that might have been the best game Connor McDavid has played and the extent of Leon Draisaitl's injury (08:34). Finally, Jeff and Elliotte discuss the Bruins forcing Game 7, the future of Cam Talbot with the Wild and the Flames trying to close out their series with Dallas (13:29). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
