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.
 
Joaquin Gage was the final guest on today's show. We started with a hypothetical F1 question, then touched on the Montreal Grand Prix and why it was such fascinating watch. We then changed gears into some Stanley Cup Playoffs and Oilers talk.
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

Former NHL goaltender and current TSN analyst Jamie McLennan kicked off the show this morning with a fantastic, in-depth conversation. "Noodles" started by dropping his raw takeaways on both of the NHL's final four matchups before shifting focus to the Metropolitan division, breaking down exactly how head coach John Tortorella has completely moved the needle and changed the culture with his squad this season.
 
With the Eastern Conference Final heading into a raucous Bell Centre in Montreal tonight tied up at one, McLennan mapped out his tactical preview for Games 3 and 4 and highlighted what the Canadiens need to do to protect home ice. Finally, we steered the ship right back here to Oil Country, where Noodles weighed in on the ongoing coaching search and what kind of timeline Stan Bowman is looking at to fill the vacancy.
 
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
 
We then hit MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop.

We are back with another massive Monday morning edition of The Nielson Show, streaming live right here on Edmonton Sports Talk! Hopefully you all had a fantastic weekend, because the sports world absolutely did not sleep. The fellas are back in the studio to recap their weekends and unpack a wild few days of playoff sweeps, continuous baseball heartbreaks, and major tournament updates.
 
We caught up like we always do, Lt. Eric then laid out the show and then we got right into Morning Announcements for The Rundle Park Short Course to recap all the action from the weekend.
 
After the break, it was then time for YouTube Trev's trade of the day. This week's theme for sure ruffled a few feathers…
 
We then capped off hour one like we always do on a Monday's show, by sharing our good, bad and ugly from the weekend.

We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

NHL Insider Chris Johnston kicked off today's show, starting with the incredible vibes in Montreal right now. The Canadiens are flying high after their Game 1 win, and CJ thinks this group is truly just getting started. From there, we shifted focus to the Western Conference Final to preview tonight's action and break down exactly how devastating the loss of Cale Makar will be for the series.
 
Next up was a massive Oilers coaching debate: with Edmonton still blocked from interviewing Bruce Cassidy, who takes over as the definitive front-runner for the bench boss vacancy? We wrapped things up with CJ's take on whether Red Wings goalie prospect Sebastian Cossa is a realistic trade target for the Oilers, and what to expect next from the Vancouver Canucks management group this offseason.
 
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
 
After the break we got into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Shop! What's good today is the sports vibe in Montreal right now. This led to plenty of texts which brought us to the end of the hour.
