## Resource

Former Oiler Luke Gazdic was our first guest on today's program, and it couldn't have been a more perfect day to get a former player's perspective. We went straight into the deep end on the ongoing Mike Babcock saga. Luke shares his unique insight on the reports that the player leadership group has signed off on the move and tackles the million-dollar question: Does Babcock truly deserve a third chance in the NHL? We look at all the heavy cons, weigh them against the potential on-ice pros, and finish things off with Luke's breakdown of the Stanley Cup Final and who he is personally pulling for to lift the Mug. It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. After the break, we got into I Got Beef. Some great beefs from the boys today. Reid Wilkins capped off hour two. He touched on last night's historic game in the NBA finals, we then got into his beef and we couldn't avoid it any longer… We got right into the Oilers talk with his opinion on what's going down in Oil Country.
