Hurricanes Pull Even + Oilers' Coach-Search Chaos Continues

About this episode

The episode discusses the Oilers' coaching search and the Stanley Cup Final, featuring insights from guest Jason Gregor.

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee start with the latest on the Oilers and their reported pursuit of Mike Babcock as head coach, with the NHLPA requesting that the league open its investigation into his Columbus tenure. Then, they look back on Carolina's Game 4 win over the Golden Knights to knot up the Stanley Cup Final, Brandon Bussi's performance in net, and whether Vegas should consider turning to Adin Hill over Carter Hart. Later, Sports 1440's Jason Gregor (31:45) stops by to discuss the Oilers' chaotic coaching search, why he's not sold on Babcock, and the likelihood that Darnell Nurse is moved in the offseason.
