Episode 610: Oilers Schedule Released & Greatest NHL "What Ifs?"
<p>Dustin Nielson and Joaquin Gage are back in the studio with plenty of meat on the bone. Today, they are transitioning from the chaotic offseason rumour mill straight into concrete dates, planning their road trips, and diving deep into a generational hockey nostalgia trip. </p> <p> </p> <p>On Today's Show:</p> <p>The 84-Game Era Returns: The NHL has officially unleashed its massive 1,344-game regular-season schedule! With the league officially re-expanding to an 84-game slate and starting a bit earlier on September 29th, Dusty and Gager spend a massive chunk of the show circling key dates on the calendar. From the opening night showdown at Rogers Place against Manny Malhotra's Canucks to the brutal mid-winter road trips, the holiday home-stands, and the final stretch to the playoffs—the boys break down the strength of schedule and map out the Oilers' blueprint to the postseason.</p> <p>The Ultimate Oilers "What-If" Matrix: Grab a box of tissues or prepare to get your blood boiling. The boys are opening up the ultimate sliding-doors cabinet in Edmonton franchise history. They debate the massive, course-altering questions that still haunt the City of Champions: What if Chris Pronger never demanded a trade out of town, keeping the championship window open? What if Peter Pocklington's wallet was fat enough to keep Wayne Gretzky, or keep the 1990 dynasty core together before they got stripped for parts? What if the Oilers actually drafted local Alberta phenom Shane Doan (or Jarome Iginla) at the 1995 draft instead of Steve Kelly? What if the Ducks landed Sidney Crosby in the 2005 draft?</p> <p> </p> <p>2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!</p>

Episode 609: Oilers Best Energy Line & The New Face Of CHEL!
<p>Dustin Nielson and the resident brick wall, Joaquin Gage, finally share the desk again after a minute apart. The chemistry is flying, the dynamic is firing, and the fellas have an absolute mountain of hockey culture, gaming nostalgia, and tactical Oilers blueprints to tear through.</p> <p> </p> <p>On Today's Show:</p> <p>The Face of Next-Gen Hockey: EA Sports just dropped a massive bomb on the gaming landscape, officially naming San Jose Sharks superstar phenom Macklin Celebrini as the cover athlete for NHL 27! At just 20 years old, he becomes the youngest cover star in the video game's legendary history. Dusty and Gager debate the pick: Is Celebrini the most exciting cover athlete we've seen in a hot minute?</p> <p>The Ultimate EA Nostalgia Trip:</p> <p>The Celebrini news opens up the historical vault. The boys look back at the most iconic, legendary cover athletes to ever grace the franchise—from Owen Nolan's called shot in NHL 2001 to Peter Forsberg on NHL 98. Who takes the crown for the greatest game cover of all time? Plus, the fellas check in on Benny, who is currently on an absolute, ungodly, legendary all-time heater in Chel.</p> <p>The Ultimate Oilers Energy Line Matrix: Shifting back to real life on the ice, Dusty poses a major depth-chart puzzle for Gager. With a heavily fortified roster heading into camp, what is the optimal layout for the Oilers' energy lines this season? The boys map out the combination of speed, physical heavy-lifting, and bottom-six grit needed to carry this team through a long Pacific Division grind.</p> <p>The Trivia Crease: To close things out, Dusty puts Gager right back in the hot seat with a brand-new, hilariously challenging game of Who's That Goalie? Can the former NHL netminder identify these obscure, forgotten crease-dwellers from the 90s and 2000s based on deep-cut career clues, or is he getting completely pulled from the net?</p> <p> </p> <p>2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!</p>

Episode 608: Ducks Match & What's Next For Nuge?
<p>Reid Wilkins steps into the captain's chair to team up with former NHL netminder Joaquin Gage. Before the fellas dive headfirst into the tactical whiteboard, they have some critical tournament business to attend to. The boys open the show by shaking off the grass stains and recapping all the chaos, elite shots, and legendary laughs that went down at yesterday's highly anticipated 3rd Annual EST Golf Classic. Once the bragging rights are officially settled, the focus shifts entirely to the ice as a fascinating new era begins in Oil Country.</p> <p> </p> <p>On Today's Show:</p> <p>The Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Crossroads: The biggest conversation in town centers around the longest-serving Oiler. With Stan Bowman installing Mike Babcock behind the bench, the guys debate what the tactical adjustment means for number 93. What should the realistic performance expectations be for Nuge under a notorious, black-and-white, hard-nosed coach like Babcock? Will the demanding system wear down the veteran, or will Babcock's strict emphasis on accountability and detail unlock an entirely new, elite layer of two-way play from the grizzled vet?</p> <p>Ducks Match Carlsson's Offer Sheet: 21-year-old Leo Carlsson is now the highest-paid player in the NHL after signing a five-year, $90M deal to stay in SoCal. How MASSIVE is that contract for young pros negotiating their next deal? Where does that leave the Ducks at cap-wise?</p> <p>A Storm Is Brewing: Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon decided to include his family on the Stanley Cup, which has become a lightning rod of controversy online. Not one, not two, but seven family members found themselves on Lord Stanley, after adding no actual piece to the team's Stanley Cup-winning puzzle...</p> <p>League-Wide NHL Rumour Mill: The offseason market is shifting gears, but front offices across North America are far from finished. Reid and Gager take a look at the rest of the National Hockey League landscape to break down the latest news, arbitration tracking, and remaining free-agent dominoes waiting to fall.</p> <p> </p> <p>2 Guys & a Goalie is presented by GS Construction!</p>
