The Nielson Show

We got the third hour started with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia. 
 
It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.
 
Greg Wyshynski closed out today's show, leading off with his reaction to last night's game and sharing why he remains a staunch critic of the shootout format. The conversation turned to major league headlines, starting with the blockbuster trade sending Connor Hellebuyck from Winnipeg to New Jersey. Wyshynski weighed in on trade returns across the league, noting he expects Detroit to secure a higher yield for Dylan Larkin than the Jets received for their Vezina-winning netminder. Bringing the focus back to Edmonton, the crew discussed Connor McDavid's climbing ice time and whether this heavy workload will remain the norm moving forward. To wrap up a great segment, Greg answered the ultimate burning question: his all-time favorite sandwich.
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

Craig Button led off today's show, stepping right into the crease to assess the current state of the Edmonton Oilers. Button provided his perspective on where fans should set their panic meters following recent back-to-back losses, while addressing the familiar trend of Connor McDavid's surging ice time. The conversation then shifted to Edmonton's bottom-six forward group—highlighting their recent goal contributions and evaluating whether this secondary scoring can be sustained long-term. Finally, Craig looked ahead to the upcoming Battle of Alberta, weighing in on the Calgary Flames' four-game winning streak and the impressive play of goaltender Devin Cooley.
 
We then gave our Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.

It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.
 
Joaquin Gage was the final guest on today's show. It was a big week in F1, so we briefly touched on before we got into the Oilers talk. What went wrong in the Oilers game, how troublesome is the lack of depth scoring, what should Oilers expect from tonight's game and will Jarry be able to bounce back? Gager had all the answers.
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

TSN Insider Darren Dreger headlined today's guest list, kicking off the show with a comprehensive breakdown of the Oilers' Saturday night clash against the Maple Leafs. Dreger analyzed what went wrong for Edmonton and examined the key factors driving Toronto's current hot streak. The conversation also touched on coaching deployments, contrasting how Mike Babcock once criticized Todd McLellan for overusing Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl with how Babcock is now leaning heavily on his star players in Toronto. Additionally, Dreger provided the latest intelligence on the Red Wings and the ongoing trade chatter surrounding Dylan Larkin, before wrapping up with a complete insider breakdown of the blockbuster Connor Hellebuyck trade.
 
We then gave our Early Bird Bet presented by Play Alberta. The boys spun the wheel, made a MNF parlay and Oilers game day parlay.
 
After the break, Chris Streveler joined the fellas to recap CFL Week 21, but our main focus was previewing all the upcoming playoff games in the CFL. We wrapped up with Strev predicting CFL individual awards.
 
Hour two was wrapped up with some MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. How good is Chris Cuthbert? MMMMMM, he's really good.
