To start hour 2, we giveaway another entry into a draw for VIP tickets to the GOCF for Andrew Schulz and Shane Gillis in Edmonton!   Craig Button joins as the 'Pro Am Sports Big Guest of the Day!' He shares his thoughts on how great the Oilers played and flashes back to how their season started with the poor team play and the change in coaching. He highlights some big defensive plays made in Game 7 that were taught to the team throughout the season. He looks at the series as a whole giving the biggest takeaway he saw for the Oilers. Conviction and commitment. Button speaks on special teams and the powerplay while analyzing the commitment the team had in those moments to kill penalties. Kris Knoblauch had conviction to start Stuart Skinner and make the coaching changes he did which truly helped the Oilers beat the Canucks.    Craig Button then sheds some light on Dylan Holloway and the confidence he's shown in the NHL speaking back on his wrist injury in college that affected his performance up until now.   He moves onto the stellar play of Evan Bouchard and how he's the first defenceman in the NHL to have 20 points after the first two rounds in the playoffs. Button says that he's always been a smart and crafty player but that he's playing defence as well. Button says that he's the Oilers' #1 guy without a doubt and that he's a top 10-12 defenceman in the league.   Of course with the big win to punch their ticket to the Western Conference Final, Craig Button gives his view of what might go down between the Dallas Stars and the Edmonton Oilers.   After that, Dusty lays down 'The Coolbet Hotline of the Day!'   Dusty and Eric then dive into 'Weekly Confessions' for Spectrum Rent All!

Miller and how Connor McDavid has to respond in the next game.
