This week's theme for sure ruffled a few feathers…   We then capped off hour one like we always do on a Monday's show, by sharing our good, bad and ugly from the weekend.

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.   It's Friday, which means it's the fan favourite Sobeys & Safeway Liquor Beer of The Week! This weeks beer of the week was provided by David from 948 Brewing in Airdrie. He joined the fellas in studio to showcase this weeks beer of the week, which is the 948 Brewing Pickled Tink. You can purchase a 4-pack for $12.49, saving $3.50 when you buy one!   We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff. 

NHL 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.

The 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.

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.
