Wilkins and Milne reiterate some of the previous hints they gave before connecting the dots. Buying or Selling has the fellas discuss the bird William Nylander flipped to the camera last night in the press box. He did get fined for the move, but why even do it? Afterwards, they debate whether Drake Maye or Sam Darnold would be the better QB to start a franchise with... The final segment for today, Jay and Reid unpack a special gift they received from the folks over at Prime Monday Night Hockey before dishing out the Words of the Day for the Edmonton Public Library!
Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne begin the hour by discussing the absolute dominance illustrated by Evan Bouchard against the Capitals. Three goals and six total points, all while being a part of every goal for the Oilers. How does that rank in Oilers history? How does Bouchard's stat line look compared to Team Canada's defencemen? Did Hockey Canada miss out on not taking Bouchard? Locally, Elks QB Cody Fajardo pops by the program to talk about his offseason and the NFL Conference Championships. What goes into the mindset of being a QB? How difficult is it to play in the snow? What small/unnoticed things did Sam Darnold and Drake Maye do to get the win? Reid and Jay go on to break down a specific moment between the Seahawks and Rams, moving on to the taunting penalty taken by Seattle's Tariq Woolen. They close out the hour by addressing some fan input in the River Cree Inbox and YouTube Nasty Chat.
A handful of changes for the Oilers ahead of their clash with the Ducks at home: Andrew Mangiapane gets the healthy scratch, Ike Howard returns to the AHL as Josh Samanski gets set to make his NHL debut, and Kasperi Kapanen suits back up! Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne debate Oilers loaning Ike Howard to the AHL, all while sharing the stats for Samanski, the projected lineups for the Oilers and Ducks, and the starters for either side. We head into the locker room, firing away some Oilers audio clips, with Reid and Jay expressing their view of the team. Kasperi Kapanen took to the media ahead of his return to play, Josh Samanski answered some questions, and HC Kris Knoblauch also spoke! As we always do in the opening hour of the show, the boys introduce the Off-Topic Topic for William Huff, talking about some of their favourite karaoke songs while asking fans for their input as well. Jay's Play of the Day for Play Alberta is next up, with the fellas giving away some tickets for tonight's game!
Over to football, nothing but storylines and exciting matchups in the NFL: The Broncos take on the Patriots, as the Seahawks meet the Rams! Who will win their matchups? Any expected upsets from Reid and Jay? What are the big things to know about each game? The fellas discuss. Back to the Oilers, Wilkins and Milne break down some of the records the Oilers broke by allowing three goals in 37 seconds. How does that compare to NHL history? Who are some of the other teams to allow that many goals in such a short span? The final segment of the week has Name the Animal, where producer Zach 'Koob' Kubusch wrangles a strange animal noise for the boys to guess. Words of the Day for the Edmonton Public Library closes the curtain on the program.
To start the hour, Ben Thomson of EST slides into the studio to test the boys during Benny's Blind Rankings. This week, Benny makes Wilkins and Milne blindly rank a top-five list related to the Winter Olympics. Which country has won the most gold medals? After that, TSN's Farhan Lalji phones into the show to share the inside scoop on the Seahawks and Rams ahead of their NFC matchup. Will Sam Darnold continue to prove his worth and punch past Super Bowl Champion Matt Stafford? Will Kenneth Walker Jr. be able to carry the load with Zach Charbonnet out? What needs to go right for an LA win? Lalji breaks it all down, giving his take on the other game as well! Following that up, the boys dig their teeth into the Oilers' 6-2 loss to the Penguins. They share their thoughts on the horrid start for Edmonton, which allowed three goals in 37 seconds, setting a franchise record for the fastest time to give up three goals. Whose to blame for the lethargic 60 minutes of play? Should HC Kris Knoblauch have challenged Pittsburgh's opening goal? What did the team have to say about the game? Wilkins and Milne play some clips from the locker room as they drill deeper into the horrible loss.
It's a silly, but informative opening hour for the fellas as Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne share their initial thoughts on the Penguins' 6-2 smackdown of the Oilers, the NFL Conference Championships and a heck of a lot more! Reid and Jay then engage in a discussion regarding Western Canada's disdain for Toronto, specifically the Maple Leafs. Is it justified? Has Toronto or the Maple Leafs done anything to garner any real reason to be hated? Where does it even come from? The fellas delve into it. And Leafs HC Craig Berube shocked the media world this morning, showing up to his press conference sporting a gnarly shiner on his head, which required dozens of stitches. The boys use this as inspiration for today's Off-Topic Topic for William Huff, as they ask fans about the worst way they've injured themselves while exercising. And wrong answers only: How did Berube REALLY injure himself?
To start the final hour of the show, former Penguin, back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion and current radio analyst on Penguins Radio, Phil Bourque joins Reid Wilkins.

Ben Thomson makes an appearance as he tests Reid with a bit of Canadian trivia before producer Zach Kubusch delivers Reid the Words of the Day for the Edmonton Public Library.
Locally, Oil Kings defenceman Ethan MacKenzie was a part of Team Canada at the World Junior Championship.

Understood for GCL Diesel dissecting some quotes from the Oilers. Mattias Ekholm, Kris Knoblauch, and Jack Roslovic took questions ahead of their clash with the Penguins. Wilkins notes some key stats surrounding the team and individual players, before glancing to the other side of the ice. Buying or Selling is next up as Reid and producer Zachary Kubusch engage in a conversation about the greatest starting five you can form in the NHL using players from 2000 to today. Is Connor McDavid a no-brainer? Who starts in the net? Should Cale Makar be above Victor Hedman? The boys debate.
Reid Wilkins is flying solo on today’s program, teeing up the Oilers/Penguins contest, which gets going from Rogers Place tonight. How will the Oilers respond to their lacklustre game against the Devils on Tuesday?

The Oilers have to kickstart yet another win streak after being denied their third straight win for the ninth time this season following a 2-1 loss to the Devils. Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne explore the loss to express their view on the team’s overall play, the defensive execution in middle ice, and what they saw from the referees… Did Vasily Podkolzin deserve 17 penalty minutes for dropping the gloves with New Jersey's Johnathan Kovacevic, right after he delivered a high hit on Connor McDavid? Reid and Jay debate the call, taking a bird's-eye view of the officiating of an instigator penalty in the NHL. Within a fun first hour, we also have the Off-Topic Topic for William Huff, asking fans what their favourite sports book is, before Jay lays out the Play of the Day for Play Alberta!

And can the Pats become a dynasty once again? Price breaks it down. We then have The Oil... Understood as Reid and Jay dive into the NHL rulebook. Did the refs enforce the instigator penalty correctly on Vasily Podkolzin? Did Podkolzin have the right to stand up for his captain? The boys discuss that further, seeing what fans of the show had to say about the situation. The Podkolzin talk continues as Reid and Jay ask the question: Is Podkolzin a top-six player in the NHL?
