## Resource

The ultimate insider Chris Johnston stops by to kick off Friday's show! CJ dives deep into the high-drama coaching market, reacting to Bruce Cassidy's Spittin' Chiclets comments regarding Vegas blocking executive interviews, Kelly McCrimmon's response, and whether the Avs will move on from Jared Bednar. Plus, CJ breaks down the dominant Canes, reacts to Team Canada's shutout victory over the USA despite losing Evan Bouchard, honors the legacy of the late Claude Lemieux, and drops his ultimate Stanley Cup winner pick! It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. After the break we got right into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. What's good today is the local sports scene kicking off with both the Elks finishing exhibition play tonight against the Stamps and the Riverhawks season getting underway tonight at ReMax Field. Dave Naylor capped off hour two with his thoughts on all the news that broke yesterday about the CFL expanding their media rights.
