## Resource

Former NHL bench boss Bruce Boudreau joined the show today to break down the latest from both the Western and Eastern Conference Finals. Bringing his unique perspective as an ex-coach, Bruce weighed in on the current state of the Oilers' coaching staff and shared why he believes Connor McDavid is the ultimate captain. Plus, as always, we wrapped up our chat with Bruce by diving into the latest headlines from around the WWE. It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. After the break, we got into everyone's beefs. Plenty of good beefs from the boys today. To cap off hour two, Reid Wilkins stopped by… over the phone? He gave us his beef, touched on McDavid as a captain and finished with the ongoing coaching carousel right here in Edmonton.
