## Resource

TSN hockey analyst Craig Button kicked off today's show to break down a massive weekend in the hockey world, starting with the Carolina Hurricanes capturing the 2026 Stanley Cup. Button weighed in on just how dominant this Hurricanes squad was throughout the postseason, the critical role of their goaltending, the undeniable impact of head coach Rod Brind'Amour, and what the future holds for the newly crowned championship club. From there, the conversation shifted to a busy offseason ahead for the Edmonton Oilers. With the finals officially in the books, Button discussed whether management will finally get their chance to speak with Bruce Cassidy, while also breaking down what the realistic trade market looks like for defenseman Darnell Nurse. To wrap up the segment, Button shared his thoughts on the future of John Tortorella behind the bench for the Vegas Golden Knights after coming up just short in the Finals. It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. CFL on TSN's Marshall Ferguson joined the boys in the middle of hour two to recap CFL week 2. Touched on the start of the season for CFL quarterbacks, Chad Kelly's first game in a few years and BC's struggling defense. We capped off hour two with MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. Who had the most impressive run, the Hurricanes or Knicks… the boys discussed.
