Description
Dustin Nielson is back in studio to join Lt. Eric to break down what happened in game 5 of the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks series!   In the game, the Oilers lost in a 3-2 with the Canucks scoring in the final minute of the game.   Right off the hop, Mike Johnson joins as the 'Pro Am Sports Big Guest of the Day', bringing up Scottie Scheffler being arrested before diving into game 5 of the Edmonton Oilers series. Johnson eludes to the fact that the big guns weren't on their game and passed up a lot of big opportunities. He gives his view on what happened on the game-winning goal from J.T. Miller and how the Oilers' communication happened at that time.   After giving his thoughts on that, he moves on to where he thinks Kris Knobluach might go for game 6. MJ thinks that Knoblauch can't really pass up playing Calvin Pickard again but would understand if KK went to Stuart Skinner.   He talks a bit about the performance of J.T. Miller and how Connor McDavid has to respond in the next game. MJ then goes into the overall response of the Oilers where he highlights the Oilers play physically with a purpose, where they only do it to get the puck back. He thinks, if they do that and do it well they have a chance to push game 7.   Mike Johnson also shares a story about his former coach in Arizona, Rick Tocchett and how he's a hard-nosed coach who calls out his players and does it well.   The boys then shift over to the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers series. Johnson shares his frustration with the Hurricanes and how he has picked them for the last 4 years. He discusses the fantastic player of Chris Kreider in game 6 and how the Hurricanes broke down giving away a 3-1 lead in the game.   Johnson closes his time on the show by sharing some words about Darren Dutchyshen and what kind of person he was.   After MJ leaves, Dusty talks a bit about Dutchy as well before moving into Scottie Scheffler being arrested.   To recap what happened last night in sports, Dusty moves into 'Morning Announcements' presented by 100.3 The BEAR!   Finishing that segment, the boys get into a conversation about the Oilers game during 'The Morning After Show' for E.M. Utility Locating!    The boys talk about how fans have been flip-flopping between being anxious, being comfortable, being anxious to being comfortable with the play of the Oilers this series. However, Dusty got fired about how the Oilers got a fourth-line game but only 3 shots on the powerplay.   Lt. Eric gives his big moment of the game, fourth star of the game, 38th star of the game and the Steady Eddie of the night!   We hear the voice of Captain Connor McDavid before hearing Atif's big speech from yesterday.   Before the end of hour one, the fellas get into 'The Crack Pack' powered by Wayne's Sports Cards & Collectibles!
