Gerry Moddejonge Discussing His McDavid Column | Mem Cup Preview | The Reid Wilkins Show | 05-21-26

Another hockey-centric edition of The Reid Wilkins Show with Jason Milne sees us gabbing about the NHL Playoffs, the Edmonton Oilers and the upcoming Memorial Cup! Reid Wilkins and Jay Milne open a lengthy discussion about an article examining Connor McDavid's leadership abilities. Postmedia's Gerry Moddejonge penned the column which investigated McDavid's overall tenure as the team's captain. He dissected McDavid's character before comparing him to the 14 others who sported a 'C' with the Oilers. Moddejonge joins Reid and Jay in the studio to explain it all. We continue to engage in the constant coaching conversation in town before branching out into the other NHL markets. Wilkins and Milne recap Vegas' Game 1 win against Colorado out West. Their attention then shifts to the Hurricanes/Canadiens series, which starts tonight. They explore other key moments from MLB, the NBA, CEBL and everything else before teeing up this year's Memorial Cup! To gain some professional insight on the matter, Guy Flaming, host of The Pipeline Show and colour analyst for the Edmonton Oil Kings, clicks into the program!
