Should the Edmonton Oilers Hire Bruce Cassidy? Breaking Down the potential Coaching Search
Should Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch keep his job after a first-round exit to the Anaheim Ducks? Nick Zararis breaks down the full case: the numbers, the politics, and the candidates waiting in the wings to give you the most honest answer you'll hear this offseason. What's covered: Has Kris Knoblauch actually gotten worse results from the Oilers each season? The 3-year even strength decline, explained in plain numbers Why firing a coach in the NHL is more of a political decision than a hockey one — and what that means for General Manager Stan Bowman Bruce Cassidy: Is the Stanley Cup-winning coach really available, and would he actually take the Edmonton job? John Cooper: Why he might be the best coach in the NHL right now — and why that still might not matter for the Oilers Connor McDavid's contract situation in 2027 and how the coaching decision this summer could directly affect it Why Knoblauch's .624 points percentage makes him the best Oilers coach of the 21st century, and why that might not be enough to save his job The Oilers went to back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals in 2024 and 2025. They got bounced in Round 1 in 2026.

a-MAZ-ing: Carter Mazur's two-goal night gives Griffins a 2-1 series lead | PWHL Detroit announced
It was another game that didn't feel nearly as close as it was for the Griffins. Grand Rapids controlled the pace from start to almost finish in Game 3, cruising to a 2-1 series lead and putting the Manitoba Moose on the brink of elimination. Carter Mazur's two goals helped propel his team to this lead. Meanwhile, the rumors were confirmed when the PWHL and Ilitch group announced that Detroit would be getting an expansion franchise. #LGRW Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

TV TORTURE: Calgary Flames Fans ENDURE NHL Draft Lottery Show, Craig Conroy SHARES #6 Pick Approach
Draft lottery drama leaves Calgary Flames fans frustrated as the team secures the sixth overall pick, fueling skepticism about lottery luck and the NHL’s drawn-out TV spectacle. Is this latest setback a missed opportunity for a true rebuild, or can GM Craig Conroy’s “best player available” approach still deliver a franchise-altering talent? We examine the Flames’ shifting draft strategy, the potential pool of top prospects, including names like Matvei Gridin, Zayne Parekh, and Cole Reschny, and what Theo Stockselius’ signing means for Calgary’s future at center. Plus, relive the iconic 1986 playoff win over the Edmonton Oilers and discover why Flames origin stories still resonate four decades later. Can Calgary overcome its draft lottery curse and build a contender with smart picks and a deepening prospect pipeline?

REACTION: Panthers will draft ninth overall in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft
On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is here to discuss how the draft lottery turned out, where the Panthers had the 8th best lottery odds, and dropped down a spot where the Toronto Maple Leafs won the draft lottery to get the number one overall pick, and the San Jose Sharks getting the second pick, where they jumped the Cats. We discuss the times where the Panthers have dropped in their lottery position and the times where they have jumped up both happening three times since 2000. Sometimes it's worked out for the Panthers where they dropped a spot and they drafted a reliable player, and were able to get all the way to one, and got a franchise player. Bill Zito has something that he hasn't had since his first draft in 2020, picks by volume. We discuss how the Cats front office has a great opportunity to wheel, but also allow the draft board to come to them as they are in need of restocking the farm. We discuss all of this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
