The Nielson Show

The dynamic powerhouse duo of Wil Fraser and Hernan Salas are back in the captain's chairs to steer you through a chaotic, blockbuster weekend in the sporting world. From professional football gridirons to the global soccer pitch and a dramatic, heartbreaking night in the UFC Octagon, the boys are ready to unpack it all while sharing exactly what kind of trouble they got into over their own weekends!
 
The fellas started the show by catching up and recapping everyone's weekends. We then got into Morning Announcements for The Rundle Park Short Course to recap all the major headlines from the weekend in the world of sports.
 
After the break, we then hit Offseason, What Offseason presented by GCL Diesel. In this segment we hit on whether or not the Oilers should sign Matt Savoie or play the waiting game.
 
We finished hour one like we always do on a Monday show with our good, bad and ugly from the weekend.

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.
 
After Three Questions, we got into Offseason, What Offseason presented by GCL Diesel. Who's better Connor Bedard or Macklin Celebrini? The boys discussed. 
 
It's Friday, which means it's the fan favourite Sobeys & Safeway Liquor Beer of The Week! This weeks beer of the week was provided by Erin McQuitty from Born Brewing. She joined the fellas over the phone for this weeks beer of the week, which is the Born Brewing Co. High Season Salted Lime Lager.

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

The big man Dustin Nielson was our marquee first guest today, and we wasted zero time diving headfirst into the gridiron whiteboard. Dusty gave us his instant reactions to the Edmonton Elks' absolutely dominant Thursday night victory, highlighting the pure excellence of running back Justin Rankin, while breaking down what is going entirely wrong for the struggling Ottawa Redblacks. From there, we teed up tonight's high-stakes Friday Night Football clash out in Winnipeg before hitting the ice for one final quick note—getting Dusty's definitive take on the Anaheim Ducks' massive decision to match Leo Carlsson's historic offer sheet.
 
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
 
In the middle of hour two, we got right into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. What a weekend it will be in the world of sports! Now, MMMMMM That's Good!
 
Justin Dunk capped off hour two with his thoughts on last night's huge win for the Edmonton Elks, Justin Rankin's unreal performance and a preview on the rest of the games in CFL Week 6.
