The Nielson Show

It's the final show of the week, and the heat in Oil Country isn't just coming from the weather—it's coming from the NHL awards ballot. Dusty and the fellas are back to wrap up a massive week in sports, from the bracket-shifting action on the ice and hardwood to a bombshell awards announcement that has the city of Edmonton fired up.
 
We start today's show by recapping everyone's evenings from last night, laying out the show and dipping into Morning Announcements for Rundle Park Short Course.
 
After the break, we quickly touched on Bouchard being snubbed, then dove into YouTube Trev's trade of the day. Who's he trading today..?
 
We capped off 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.
 
After the break, we got into Offseason, What Offseason!?! Today, we discussed the most realistic path for the Oilers this offseason. 
 
Near the end of the show today, a potential ESTY worthy moment happened. We called Levi to see if he would like his disk back... and then, cue the radio magic. 
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

Bruce Boudreau joined the show for the first time since the Oilers' exit to share his takeaways from the team's season-ending media availability. Bruce breaks down the roster's current state, offering specific solutions for the blue line and bottom-six—both from within the organization and via the trade market. Plus, we pivot to the "mess in Toronto" to see how the Maple Leafs' offseason chaos compares to the situation in Edmonton.
 
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
 
In the middle of the hour we got into I Got Beef! What are the boy's beefing about today?
 
Reid Wilkins finished off hour 2 with his beef, some thoughts on the Oilers future and finished with some Elks talk as training camp is right around the corner.

It's a Thursday in Edmonton, and while the sun is out, the clouds are still lingering over Rogers Place. The Edmonton Oilers' offseason is in full swing, but the "patient" approach from the front office has the fans—and the fellas—feeling anything but calm. We're diving back into the wreckage of the 2025-26 season to ask the hard questions that management hasn't answered yet.
 
We quickly got into Morning Announcements to recap all the action from last night in the NHL and NBA.
 
After the break, we continued the Oilers discussion. Dusty asked the boys and the nasties what's the best reason to keep Bowman as GM? It was tough to find the answer.
 
To cap off hour one, it's day two of YouTube Trev's trade of the day. And we got Fired Up for Gemco Fireplaces. Today, we gave away some Stingers tickets.

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.
 
Ryan Rishaug was the final guest on today's show. We started off with everything out east. From chaos to glory in a matter of moments. We then brought it home starting with the season ending media availability's, the trajectory of this team and how hard this will actually be to fix things. Is Knoblauch on the hot seat and there's a new feud between Strudy and Tommy?
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.
