We kicked off today’s show with heavy hitter Chris Johnston, getting his instant reactions to Team Canada’s historic performance on the World Cup soccer pitch before diving headfirst into the hot-button issues in Oil Country. CJ pulled back the curtain on the breaking news surrounding the conclusion of the NHL’s Mike Babcock investigation. With Babcock officially cleared to return to an NHL bench, CJ breaks down exactly what this means for the Edmonton Oilers and what fans should expect if Stan Bowman makes the hire. Finally, we headed out East to look at a chaotic week for the Maple Leafs. CJ gave us the inside track on Toronto naming Jim Hiller as their 41st head coach, followed by breaking analysis on the massive eight-year sign-and-trade blockbuster that brought defenseman Darren Raddysh to the Leafs this morning.
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
Following the commercial break, we served up a fresh edition of MMMMMM That’s Good, proudly presented by The Italian Centre Shop. The soccer celebration kept rolling as the guys shared their personal match day experiences from last night’s historic blowout victory and asked the listeners: Where did you watch the game?
From there, the conversation shifted right back to the burning questions surrounding Mike Babcock’s potential arrival in Oil Country. We opened up the phone lines and text boards to see what the nasties had to say, reading through your raw reactions and going around the room to debate the audience’s take on the looming coaching decision.
