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.
 
Shifting gears to three-down football, our third and final guest joined the program midway through hour three. With the CFL season officially kicking off tonight, there was no better person to talk to than TSN's Marshall Ferguson! Marshall stopped by to dish his favorite storylines heading into the 2026 campaign, including what he expects from Chad Kelly this year. Plus, we get his definitive thoughts on our Edmonton Elks—is this finally the season they take a major step forward?
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

Former NHL head coach Bruce Boudreau joined the show off the top to break down the Stanley Cup Final. He told us why he thinks the Golden Knights are just scratching the surface after Game 1, and we debated whether Jon Cooper's long-awaited Jack Adams Award was fully deserved. Plus, Bruce weighed in on the coaching situations with the Maple Leafs and Oilers, before wrapping things up with his latest WWE update.
 
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
 
After the break, we got into everyone's beefs. Lots of beef coming in this morning.
 
Reid Wilkins capped off hour two with his beef, a preview on The Mark Killam show that airs on The Reid Wilkins Show every Tuesday at 5 and finished with his thoughts on the Stanley Cup Final.

The championship drama is reaching a fever pitch on the hardwood, and the boys are back to break down an absolute instant classic! The Nielson Show is live on Edmonton Sports Talk, and Dustin Nielson (Jmo) and Lieutenant Eric are steering the ship through a massive Thursday morning loaded with massive national headlines and elite local guests.
 
We got right into today's show with Morning Announcements for Haddies Golf Shop to recap all the action from last night in the world of sport.
 
After the break, we got into YouTube Trev's trade of the day. Will he ever get things right? What a goof.
 
We capped off hour one with Fired Up for Gemco Fireplaces. Today we're fired up about the CFL season starting tonight and Lt. Eric is fired up about his season long fantasy team.

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.
 
Wrapping up today's show, TSN Edmonton Bureau Reporter Ryan Rishaug stopped by. We started things off on a lighter note, asking Ryan his absolute favorite way to consume an egg—which, naturally, led to a hilarious story.
 
Then, we shifted gears to a heavy dose of Oilers talk. Ryan gave us his raw thoughts on Evan Bouchard's fourth-place finish in Norris Trophy voting, before breaking down Edmonton's top trade assets and the upcoming free-agent market. Plus, could an unexpected offer sheet be on the horizon for the Blue and Orange? We wrap it all up with his expert analysis on the Stanley Cup Final. It's an insider look you don't want to miss!
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

Former NHL netminder Jamie McLennan dropped by the show today to break down a massive slate of hockey news! "Noodles" gives us his definitive take on Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final—who holds the edge moving forward, and are we destined for a seven-game war?
 
Plus, we dive into the NHL Awards: Zach Werenski takes home the Norris Trophy, but with Edmonton's Evan Bouchard finishing fourth, we have to ask—is Bouchard getting overlooked simply because he plays in a Canadian market?
 
We also get Jamie's insights on the wide-open Maple Leafs coaching search, the Nashville Predators hiring Chris MacFarland as their new President and GM, and wrap things up with his thoughts on Manny Malhotra taking over behind the bench for the Vancouver Canucks.
 
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
 
After the break we got into Weekly Advice for Damon Bunting. As always, the boys gave out some great advice today.
 
Eric Macramalla capped off hour two with plenty of puck talk. He touched on how dominant the Canes were over the Habs, the significance of Marner for the Golden Knights and what's going on with Garry Betmans love life?
