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. He talked about his new camera, tee'd up what the boys are cooking for the upcoming pre & post game shows for the Oil Stream and then gave his highs and lows from the Oilers first preseason game of the season. 
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger led off today's show, kicking things off with a spot-on Mike Babcock impression before diving into the top headlines across the league. Dregs weighed in on Connor McDavid topping TSN's Top 50 Players list for a remarkable 10th consecutive year, before analyzing the signing of Alex Formenton and why he ultimately landed in Edmonton. Finally, he broke down whether head coach Mike Babcock will deploy McDavid and Leon Draisaitl together on the same line, and how much stock fans should actually put into early exhibition results.
 
Is the wheel just? Time will tell as the wheel has spoken for tonight's Monday nighter. We then gave our Early Bird Bet of the day presented by Play Alberta.
 
Chris Streveler got the second part of hour two going with his initial thoughts on the Elks streak being snapped against the Argos on Saturday. We then got his thoughts on all the other games that transpired from CFL Week 16, including the Red Blacks falling… again.

After the break, we got into The Fan Zone for Northern Gauge to discuss the Oilers first preseason game and Leon Draisaitl also being outside of TSN's top 5… is that a fair rating? The boys discussed.
 
Like we always do, we gave our good, bad and ugly from the weekend to wrap up hour one.
