    McDavid On Babcock | Shawn Belle & Matt Iwanyk | June 25th, 2026 | Hour 2 + 3

    On a combined second and third hour of the show, Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne sink their teeth into Connor McDavid's thoughts on Mike Babcock before getting deep into the Elks/Bombers contest!   Push 'Till You Break: McDavid claims that the entire leadership group wants Babcock to push them and to hold them accountable. If the leaders lead, the rest will follow. Could that really work? A Long Time Coming: #97 mentioned that a Mike Babcock-type holding charge is something that the team has been calling for since 2019. Do professional athletes really need that extra "push?" How fast might Babcock's shtick get old? How risky is this move? Shawn Belle's Thoughts: Former Oiler, long-time professional hockey player, Shawn Belle joins Reid and Jay to note his thoughts on the entire Mike Babcock hiring. The good, the bad, and the ugly... Bellezy doesn't hold back! Under The Bus: Kris Knoblauch leading the Oilers to a pair of Stanley Cup Final appearances wasn't good enough? Is McDavid throwing his previous coaches under the bus with his quotes? Reid and Jay debate.   After that, host of the Commonwealth Stadium Green and Gold Kickoff Show, Matt Iwanyk, slides into the studio to preview the Elks' vs Bombers clash from both sides of the ball! He also chats about Canada making it to the Round of 32 at the World Cup!   The boys have some fun during Buying or Selling before Jay takes us to the finish line with Words of the Day for the Edmonton Public Library!

    McDavid Wants Babcock To Push The Oilers | June 23rd, 2026 | Hour 2

    Defensive lapses, failing to act on promises, poor team chemistry, and a few other things have brought the Oilers to where they are today. Now bring in Mike Babcock... Can he help scale back the Oilers' defensive flaws to lead them to glory? Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne continue to attack the monumental hiring in Edmonton, addressing various quotes from Edmonton's newest head coach and the man who brought him in, GM Stan Bowman. Babcock said this is what Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman wanted. If those three get pushed to the limit by Babcock, can they find an extra level to their game, or will they falter? Reid and Jay debate.   Of course, this stirs up plenty of fan opinions on the matter... Wilkins and Jay delve into the RiverCree Inbox and YouTube Nasty Chat to share thoughts regarding the franchise's overall culture, morals, approach, etc. And what if it goes South? Is Stan Bowman out?

    The Mike Babcock Era Begins | June 23rd, 2026 | Hour 1

    With much anticipation stirring around Edmonton, the Oilers have officially hired 63-year-old Mike Babcock as their new head coach. With all his baggage in consideration, could Babcock show the Oilers something they haven’t seen? What is the biggest worry for Babcock joining the Orange and Blue?   Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne nose into the Babcock news, playing audio clips from the Oilers’ Hall of Fame room where Babcock was introduced to the media and fans earlier today. What was the most impactful thing that he was asked about? Did he say anything promising? What did he have to say about his time in Columbus?   Can we still question Babcock's character? What should we have expected Babcock to say when he took the mic? Reid and Jay use one of his answers as the tipping point for the Off-Topic Topic: When could you use your spouse as an excuse? During the hour, we also give away a foursome of Riverhawks tickets before getting to Jay's Play of the Day for Play Alberta!
