## Resource

The legendary Jamie "Noodles" McLennan kicked things off on today's show! We started with some fun, getting Noodles' pick for the greatest stadium entrance song of all time, before shifting right into the fallout from last night's dramatic Game 7. Noodles breaks down how the Canadiens managed to pull off the upset over Buffalo and analyzes their chances as they prepare to clash with the undefeated Carolina Hurricanes in the East Final. We also got his outlook on the heavyweights out West, plus a deep dive into the Oilers' coaching carousel—including his candid thoughts on how the Kris Knoblauch firing was managed and who is the ideal fit to take over the bench in Edmonton. It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. After the break, we got into Weekly Confessions for Spectrum Rent All. Plenty of confessing from the boys today. We capped off hour two, with Offseason, What Offseason. Who do you want the next head coach to be?
