About this episode

TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button kicked off the show this morning live from Kelowna, and he brought a ton of insight from the Memorial Cup. Button shared his raw scouting report on 16-year-old phenom Landon DuPont, detailing exactly why the Everett Silvertips dynamic defenceman is being hailed as the NHL's next true superstar.

We then bounced around the professional ranks, picking Craig's brain on the tactical adjustments defining the NHL's conference finals out East and West. Finally, we brought the conversation right back home to Edmonton, getting Button's expert evaluation on the Oilers' newest European signing—Finnish forward Aku Raty—and where his 57-point skill set projects to fit in the organization.

It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.

After the break, we got into Weekly Confessions for Spectrum Rent All. Some good confessions from the boys today.

We then finished off hour two with Fired Up for Gemco Fireplaces. Today, we're fired up about the season long CFL fantasy that launched today.
