2w ago00:52:05Tap to summarizeNHL Insider Chris Johnston kicked off today's show, starting with the incredible vibes in Montreal right now. The Canadiens are flying high after their Game 1 win, and CJ thinks this group is truly just getting started. From there, we shifted focus to the Western Conference Final to preview tonight's action and break down exactly how devastating the loss of Cale Makar will be for the series. Next up was a massive Oilers coaching debate: with Edmonton still blocked from interviewing Bruce Cassidy, who takes over as the definitive front-runner for the bench boss vacancy? We wrapped things up with CJ's take on whether Red Wings goalie prospect Sebastian Cossa is a realistic trade target for the Oilers, and what to expect next from the Vancouver Canucks management group this offseason. It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. After the break we got into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Shop! What's good today is the sports vibe in Montreal right now. This led to plenty of texts which brought us to the end of the hour.

2w ago00:53:11Tap to summarizeThe weekend is finally in sight, and the fellas are back to wrap up the week with a massive Friday edition of The Nielson Show, streaming live on Edmonton Sports Talk! The sports world cooked up an absolute masterpiece last night, and we are diving headfirst into dominant playoff statement wins, gridiron returns, and our favourite Friday tradition. Like we always do, Lt. Eric laid out the show, the boys touched on their nights, we then hit Morning Announcements for The Rundle Park Short Course to recap all the action from last night. In the middle of hour one we got into YouTube Trev's trade of the day. Another great trade he assembled that got taken down by the nasties. A tradition unlike any other. We capped off hour one on a Friday's show like we always do by Cracking Some Packs powered by Wayne's Sports Cards & Collectables.

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.

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?

2w ago00:59:27Tap to summarizeTSN'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.
