It’s Friday, the weekend is officially here, and we are throwing out the dynamic script and having some fun! Tom Gazzola and Hernan Salas are live in the studio for one final edition of The Oil Stream this week to talk everything blue and orange, recapping a wild couple of nights in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and to pour a cold beverage for the weekend.
Even though the Oilers are out of the postseason, the off-ice news cycle in Edmonton never sleeps. We check the temperature on the current head coaching vacancy—why hasn’t Stan Bowman pulled the trigger? Are the Vegas Golden Knights still blocking permission to talk to Bruce Cassidy? Is Craig Berube still the betting favourite, or is a massive curveball name gaining traction?
The Edmonton Coaching Carousel: We give you the latest absolute truth, inside information, and surrounding rumours on where the front office stands in its search for a bench boss.
Oilers Crushing the World Championship: It’s been a minute since we’ve had Oilers playing in the IIHF World Championship in late May, but our guys are absolutely tearing it up over in Switzerland. We talk about Evan Bouchard and Darnell Nurse helping Canada jump out to a perfect 4-0 start, Mattias Ekholm anchoring Sweden’s blue line and potting goals, and prospect Isaac Howard putting on a show for Team USA.
Stanley Cup Conference Finals Check-In: We look at a wild start to the final four. The boys recap the Montreal Canadiens’ shocking 6-2 beatdown over Carolina in Game 1 of the East Final, and preview tonight’s massive Game 2 out West between the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche.
Friday Free-For-All: We open the text line, take your boldest offseason predictions, talk weekend plans, and let the conversation take us wherever it wants to go.
