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.
 
Rod Black was the final guest on today's show. It's been a minute since the boys have spoken with Rod so they first caught up with their old friend before they got into the sports talk. Rod just released a book 'Cut to Black' which he spent a good chunk of time highlighting. This book covered Black's life journey in and outside of the studio. From news stories of a lifetime, to smaller moments that never left him. He finished with an update on his son who is absolutely crushing it.
 
The Elks season is almost upon us, the fellas dove into The Elks Weekly Bugle to tee up their first preseason game this upcoming Saturday in BC. 
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

Former NHL bench boss Bruce Boudreau joined the show today to break down the latest from both the Western and Eastern Conference Finals. Bringing his unique perspective as an ex-coach, Bruce weighed in on the current state of the Oilers' coaching staff and shared why he believes Connor McDavid is the ultimate captain. Plus, as always, we wrapped up our chat with Bruce by diving into the latest headlines from around the WWE.
 
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
 
After the break, we got into everyone's beefs. Plenty of good beefs from the boys today.
 
To cap off hour two, Reid Wilkins stopped by… over the phone? He gave us his beef, touched on McDavid as a captain and finished with the ongoing coaching carousel right here in Edmonton.

The fellas are back with another massive Thursday morning edition of The Nielson Show, streaming live right here on Edmonton Sports Talk! The sports world was firing on all cylinders last night, and we are unpacking a wild mix of playoff upsets, bounce-back performances, and ongoing off-ice drama.
 
Like we always do first, the fellas caught up and then Lt. Eric laid out the show.
 
The first segment we hit was Morning Announcements for Rundle Park Short Course to recap all the sports action from last night.
 
After the break, it was time for YouTube Trev's trade of the day. Yesterday the nasties spoke, and YTT listened. This trade was for the nasties.
 
To cap off hour one, the boys got Fired Up for Gemco Fireplaces! Today we're fired up about a certain article making its rounds right here in Edmonton.

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 and he joined to discuss, you guessed it, the Oilers coaching conversation. Berube, Cassidy and Babcock were names thrown into the conversation from Ryan. Shauggey then touched on Knoblauch's future in the NHL... 
 
After Shauggey, it was time for Lt. Eric's Weekly Rankings of Power. Today he ranked the best potential coaches for the Oilers going forward.
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

TSN's Craig Button kicked off today's show to break down a wild week in the hockey world. We started by getting his reaction to Stan Bowman's recent comments regarding the Kris Knoblauch firing, and looked at how Vegas handled Bruce Cassidy's situation. From there, we debated whether Craig Berube is the best option on the market and if these Oilers specifically need a more stern voice behind the bench. The coaching carousel conversation kept rolling as we shifted to John Tortorella's future in Vegas—is he a lock to stay behind the bench next season? Finally, we got Craig's take on the Vancouver Canucks' massive staff shakeup over the past week before wrapping up with his thoughts on the Eastern Conference Final.
 
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
 
In the middle of the hour it was time for the boys to give some Free Advice for Damon Bunting.
 
Eric Macramalla capped off hour two with his thoughts on the Habs moving on to the Eastern Conference Final and shared his expectations for the upcoming series. He then touched on the debacle of a situation the Oilers have put themselves into.
