  • Why have guests

    Why bother having a guest on , when you answer your own questions. Especially when you have David Staples on you treat him very poorly, and really show your self centred bully mentality

  • Content great but formatting leaves a lot to be desired.

    I’d love to see you guys reformat content a little bit to fit the podcast format. I hate opening the app and seeing 4 or more clips for the same show. It makes me want to unsubscribe because it pushes my other podcasts down. You certainly aren’t the only sports radio program doing this which makes the issue worse in my view. Y’all please get together and figure this out.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sportsnet & The Pro Hockey Groups's Jason Bukala (6/25/26)
Q: How different is a decentralized NHL draft, in your opinion?
Bukala explains that decentralization changes in-person convention-like dynamics, enabling more behind-the-scenes business, development camp planning, and agent discussions, while still emphasizing the importance of the players' own day and experiences.
Oilers Regional TV Colour Analyst Louie DeBrusk (6/25/26)
Q: Your thoughts on Murphy and Dickinson?
Louie expresses optimism that both players fit well, bring value as veteran depth with clearly defined roles, and should help the team's cap structure and chemistry.
TSN & Got Yer Back Podcast's Ryan Rishaug (6/25/26)
Q: How do you expect the Oilers to deploy McDavid and Drysdale under this new plan?
The hosts anticipate a different defensive structure that uses McDavid and Drysdale more strategically, possibly deploying them home and away to maximize their impact while protecting the rest of the lineup.
NHL Executive Legend Brian Burke (6/26/26)
Q: What are his thoughts on Mike Babcock and DJ Smith joining the Oilers?
Burke said DJ Smith is a great coach and a close friend, and that Mike Babcock deserves a chance, though he has flaws and is the Oilers' head coach now to see what he can do.
NHL Executive Legend Brian Burke (6/26/26)
Q: What did Burke think about the impact of the salary cap and free agency on roster moves?
Burke credited the rising salary cap and the limited pool of free agents as drivers of more trades and movement in the off-season.
