Boomer, Pinder and Rhett are joined by TSN's Jamie McLennan to react to the increasingly chaotic Mike Babcock situation in Edmonton. Just when it looked like the Oilers were moving closer to hiring Babcock as their next head coach, reports surfaced that the NHLPA is pushing for a full investigation into his past conduct before signing off on any return to the league. The guys discuss why this story continues to grow, what the latest reports could mean for Edmonton's coaching search, and whether the Oilers underestimated the backlash that would come with pursuing Babcock in the first place...

The guys start with Carolina's impressive Game 4 win over Vegas and Rod Brind'Amour's bold decision to start Brandon Bussi, a move that paid off as the Hurricanes evened the series and turned the Final into a best-of-three. Noodles shares his thoughts on the goalie switch, what has changed in the series, and why some of Vegas' biggest stars need to find another gear heading into the pivotal final stretch. The conversation then...

Boomer, Rhett and Pinder react to the stunning reports linking Mike Babcock to the Edmonton Oilers head coaching job and try to make sense of one of the most controversial stories in hockey. Nearly three years after his brief and disastrous stint with the Columbus Blue Jackets came to an end before he coached a single game, Babcock is once again being connected to an NHL bench. The guys discuss Darren Dreger's reporting, the Oilers' apparent interest, and why the organization would be willing to revisit a coach whose reputation has been under intense scrutiny for years. They also...

Boomer, Pinder and Rhett get into one of the biggest questions facing the Carolina Hurricanes as the Stanley Cup Final shifts to Game 4: should Frederik Andersen still be the starter? Andersen has been outstanding for most of Carolina's playoff run and played a massive role in getting them to this point, but after a shaky stretch in the Final and getting pulled in Game 3, the conversation has completely changed. The guys discuss whether one rough outing is enough to justify a switch, what Brandon Bussi could bring if he gets the call, and how much pressure Rod Brind'Amour is...

While Cooper had another outstanding season, the conversation quickly turns to whether Lindy Ruff was robbed after leading the Buffalo Sabres through a remarkable turnaround season. After missing the playoffs for more than a decade, the Sabres took a major step forward and became one of the league's best stories under Ruff's leadership.

Eichel already has a Stanley Cup, a gold medal and now finds himself back in the Stanley Cup Final as one of the driving forces behind the Vegas Golden Knights. Yet somehow, his name still doesn't seem to come up nearly enough when fans talk about the very best players in the NHL. The guys discuss why Eichel continues to fly under the radar, wh...

The guys discuss the different paths available to the Flames, ho...

Can Carolina and Vegas surprise people and deliver an unbelievable series or does this matchup just not have the juice that fans were hoping for?

Byron currently has Viggo ranked 10th on his board, but is that too low for a player already producing against men in Sweden’s SHL?

The boys dive into Björck’s upside, hockey IQ, offensive ceiling, NHL projection and why scouts seem split on where he belongs in the draft. Is he a future top-line center? Could he sneak into the top 5? Or are...

The conversation turns to whether the Canadiens have any real answers for Carolina’s relentless structure and pressure, or if the Hurricanes are simply on another level right now and already feel destined for the Stanley Cup Final.
