The Nielson Show

Chris Johnston was our first guest on today's show. We kicked things off with his thoughts on a refreshing first-round matchup, as the Oilers take on the Ducks instead of the Kings, and he gave us a preview of what he expects from the series. From there, we went around the league, breaking down other matchups — starting with the Senators and Hurricanes, followed by the Canadiens taking on the Lightning. We then brought it back to Edmonton to discuss Evan Bouchard and whether he deserves Norris Trophy consideration, before wrapping things up with some of the front office changes already starting to happen around the league.
 
It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.
 
After the break we got into MMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop to discuss EST's pop up shop coming in on Monday. These clothes look great, atta be Matty and the crew over at The Hive Product Marketing.
