The mood in Edmonton hasn't lightened much since the handshake line. Gager is joined by special guest Reid Wilkins today as the fellas sift through the fallout of a disappointing first-round exit and a bombshell morning of NHL awards news that has Oilers fans—and the locker room—scratching their heads.

The Norris Snub: The NHL officially announced the Norris Trophy finalists today, and Evan Bouchard was nowhere to be found. Despite leading all NHL defensemen with a staggering 95 points (60 at even strength), Bouchard was passed over for Dahlin, Makar, and Werenski. The boys debate: Did his defensive "lapses" truly outweigh a historically elite offensive season, or is there a genuine bias against the Oilers' blueliner?

Edmonton Post-Mortem: It's been a heavy week of reflection. Reid and Gager recap the "concerned" and "average" comments from the stars and what they signal for the locker room's confidence.

The Firing Line: We get into the latest rumblings regarding Kris Knoblauch and Stan Bowman. After taking what Leon Draisaitl called a "big step backwards," is a management or coaching change the only way to salvage the next two years of the McDavid era?

Crunching The Numbers: We take a hard look at the roster, cap space, and the lack of assets. Is there a realistic path back to the Cup Final, or is the window closing faster than we thought?

Round 2 Pulse: The bracket is moving on without Edmonton. We recap the action from the East and West:

• Canes in Command: Carolina holds a 2-0 lead as they head to Philly for Game 3 tonight.
• Avs' Offensive Explosion: Colorado is looking unstoppable after a 9-goal Game 1 and a dominant Game 2.
• Sabres vs. Habs: Buffalo takes the early advantage in a battle of young Atlantic rivals.
