The Nielson Show

We kick things off with a massive visit from Craig Button, and he was in rare form today! Craig pulls no punches as he breaks down the fundamental flaws that have pushed the Oilers to the brink of elimination. He doesn't stop at the roster, though—he weighs in on whether Kris Knoblauch is coaching for his job tonight and provides a blunt assessment of the Jarry vs. Ingram goaltending saga. Plus, we get an insider look at the Anaheim Ducks as Craig explains why Jackson LaCombe has been the secret weapon of this series.
