The Nielson Show

It was a fun jam packed third hour of the show today that got started off with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia. 
 
It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.
 
After that, we hit The Weekly Bugle for the Edmontont Elks! Which newest addition are you most excited to see for the Elks on the upcoming season. 
 
We weren't able to call Levi yesterday, so we did it today. The ending to this saga was very heartwarming. 
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

Chris Johnston joined us today to break down a chaotic week in the hockey world. We kick things off with Mitch Marner's post-Toronto renaissance: what has fueled his playoff brilliance with the Golden Knights, and why did that version of him never materialize in the 6ix? Turning to Edmonton, CJ gives us the outsider's view on the shocking Kris Knoblauch firing—from the "messy" handling of the news to where Knoblauch lands next. Plus, we debate the looming question: Is this the most pivotal offseason in NHL history? With the Oilers' window closing and a coaching vacancy to fill, the stakes have never been higher.
 
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
 
After the break it was time for MMMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. A lot of good going on today. YouTube Trev chimed in on what's good for him, which was Schaefer winning this year's Calder Trophy. Which then led to a guessing game, what's the only movie Trev has ever cried too.
 
We capped off hour two with Eric Macramalla. We got his thoughts on the Oilers display of the professionalism this year and his thoughts on the Habs and Sabres series thus far.

We are officially one day into the "Post-Knoblauch" era in Edmonton, and the fallout is just beginning. Join Dusty Nielson and the boys as they dissect every angle of the Edmonton Oilers' decision to part ways with Kris Knoblauch and what it means for the organization's future.
 
We kicked off the show with Dusty laying it out. We then hit on Morning Announcements for Rundle Park Short Course to recap on all the sports action from last night as well as get into Drake's new album which is certainly hard! 
 
After the break, it was time for YTT's trade of the day. We finished the week with a good one. 
 
Like we always do on a Friday's show, we finished hour one by Cracking Some Packs powered by Wayne's Sports Cards & Collectables!

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.
 
Before the beer of the week, we got into Scalding Hot Takes! No shortage of takes from the boys today... 
 
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 Nick Fodor from Grizzly Paw Brewing. He joined the fellas virtually to showcase this weeks beer of the week, which is their Big Shiny Brews Mixer Pack. You can purchase a 12-pack for $24.99, saving $8.00 when you buy one!
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

Luke Gazdic joined us to kick off hour two, and the conversation went straight to the bombshell news of the Kris Knoblauch firing. Like most of the hockey world, Luke is stunned by the timing and the optics of the move. He breaks down why this isn't necessarily a "good look" for the organization and explores what the future holds for Knoblauch. We also dove into the locker room dynamics: Is a hard-headed, "old school" coach truly what Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl need to reach the next level? Plus, Luke shares his keys to tonight's matchup between the Habs and Sabres.
 
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
 
In the middle of the hour it was time for I Got Beef. Plenty of beef from the boys today.
 
Reid Wilkins capped off hour two with his thoughts on the Oilers decision to fire head coach Kris Knoblauch.
