Bouchard Snubbed + Nurse's Role + Cossa, Really? - May 7th, 2026 - Hour 1

Published 6 days, 9 hours ago
Description

The boys are fired up for Hour 1 as the playoffs continue to roll and the conversation around the Oilers gets louder by the day. We dive right into the NHL award drama and ask the question Oil Country has been screaming about, was Evan Bouchard completely snubbed from Norris Trophy consideration?  Agree or disagree — we debate it.

Then we shift between the pipes and try to make sense of the growing conversation around Sebastian Cossa as a potential  answer for the Oilers in goal. Is the hype real? Is this just panic talk? With such a big season upcoming for the Oilers, can they go with a Cossa/Jarry duo? 

We also take a hard look at Darnell Nurse and the never-ending debate surrounding the veteran defenseman. If the Oilers were somehow able to move on from Nurse, what would they actually lose on the ice? While some numbers suggest his defensive game has slipped, does his role, toughness, leadership, and ability to log difficult minutes still make him more valuable than critics admit? And if he's gone, who steps up to fill those heavy minutes and matchup responsibilities?

Host: Joaquin Gage & Hernan Salas
