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.

Welcome back to a packed Wednesday edition of The Nielson Show! The middle of the week is here, and the sports world is absolutely red-hot on and off the ice. We went around the room to catchup and then Lt. Eric laid out the show!   We then hit Morning Announcements for The Rundle Park Short Course to recap all the sports action from last night.   After the break, we got into YouTube Trev's trade of the day. The nasties did not appreciate this one at all..   We capped off hour one with MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. What's good today is the ongoing Oilers coaching conversation…

It was a fun jam packed third hour of the show today that got started off with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia.    It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.   Greg Wyshynski was the final guest on today's show.

We then headed out West, to preview the Avs and Golden Knights series and what the heck was Tortorella thinking?   We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff. 

The legendary Jamie "Noodles" McLennan kicked things off on today's show! We started with some fun, getting Noodles' pick for the greatest stadium entrance song of all time, before shifting right into the fallout from last night's dramatic Game 7.

Plenty of confessing from the boys today.    We capped off hour two, with Offseason, What Offseason. Who do you want the next head coach to be? 

Dustin Nielson is out today, but the show doesn't miss a beat as the legendary Dave Jamieson slides into the host chair! The fellas have an absolutely massive weekend of sports to recap, from a historic major championship victory to playoff drama on the ice and the hardwood.   We quickly touched on everyone's weekends and then Lt. Eric laid out the show.   Today's first segment was Morning Announcements for Haddies Golf Shop to recap all the major headlines from the weekend.   After the first break, it was time for YTT's trade of the day. Who's Trev trading today???   To cap off hour two, we got fired up. Today we're fired up about the song choice the Sabres picked for their playoffs this year…

It was a fun jam packed third hour of the show today that got started off with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia.    It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.   After that, we hit The Weekly Bugle for the Edmontont Elks! Which newest addition are you most excited to see for the Elks on the upcoming season.    We weren't able to call Levi yesterday, so we did it today. The ending to this saga was very heartwarming.    We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff. 

Chris Johnston joined us today to break down a chaotic week in the hockey world. We kick things off with Mitch Marner's post-Toronto renaissance: what has fueled his playoff brilliance with the Golden Knights, and why did that version of him never materialize in the 6ix? Turning to Edmonton, CJ gives us the outsider's view on the shocking Kris Knoblauch firing—from the "messy" handling of the news to where Knoblauch lands next. Plus, we debate the looming question: Is this the most pivotal offseason in NHL history? With the Oilers' window closing and a coaching vacancy to fill, the stakes have never been higher.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   After the break it was time for MMMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. A lot of good going on today. YouTube Trev chimed in on what's good for him, which was Schaefer winning this year's Calder Trophy.

We got his thoughts on the Oilers display of the professionalism this year and his thoughts on the Habs and Sabres series thus far.

We are officially one day into the "Post-Knoblauch" era in Edmonton, and the fallout is just beginning. Join Dusty Nielson and the boys as they dissect every angle of the Edmonton Oilers' decision to part ways with Kris Knoblauch and what it means for the organization's future.   We kicked off the show with Dusty laying it out.

Luke Gazdic joined us to kick off hour two, and the conversation went straight to the bombshell news of the Kris Knoblauch firing. Like most of the hockey world, Luke is stunned by the timing and the optics of the move. He breaks down why this isn't necessarily a "good look" for the organization and explores what the future holds for Knoblauch. We also dove into the locker room dynamics: Is a hard-headed, "old school" coach truly what Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl need to reach the next level? Plus, Luke shares his keys to tonight's matchup between the Habs and Sabres.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   In the middle of the hour it was time for I Got Beef. Plenty of beef from the boys today.   Reid Wilkins capped off hour two with his thoughts on the Oilers decision to fire head coach Kris Knoblauch.

Holy crap. Kris Knoblauch has been officially fired... and that's how we started the show today. Ryan Rishaug broke the news, then we immediately had him on the show to discuss the decision. Why now? Is Cassidy the next man in? Will Knoblauch get a job elsewhere? Shauggey had all the answers.    We briefly hit Morning Announcements next to recap all the action from last night.    After the break, we hit YTT's trade of the day, which today, was not his best work... depending on who ask.    We capped off hour one with Fired Up for Gemco Fireplaces. Nothing short to be fired up about today. 

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.   We closed out the show with Ryan Rishaug, and there was no shortage of fireworks regarding the Oilers' coaching carousel. Ryan broke down the "conundrum" currently facing the organization and the complex optics of moving on from Kris Knoblauch. We also pivoted to the Vegas Golden Knights' role in this saga, debating whether their reported refusal to grant interview permission is a savvy business move or a bad look for the league.   We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff. 

Jamie McLennan joined the show to provide a deep dive into the coaching firestorm in Edmonton. "Noodles" didn't pull any punches, arguing that a change behind the bench was overdue and outlining the specific coaching profile needed to stabilize this roster. Beyond the X's and O's, the former NHL netminder broke down the ongoing crisis in the Oilers' crease and questioned if a coaching swap is enough—or if the real issues stem from the front office. We wrapped up with his pulse check on the rest of the NHL playoff bracket.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   We then gave some Free Advice for Damon Bunting. As always, the boys provided some great advice today.   Chris Morris joined the show to wrap up hour two with a comprehensive update from Edmonton Elks training camp. Chris detailed the aggressive roster overhaul from this offseason and explained why the culture being built in the locker room—and the community—feels fundamentally different this year. We also got his take on the arrival of Cody Fajardo and how the veteran QB fits into the Elks' new-look offense, plus a breakdown of the recent CFL rule changes designed to jumpstart the 2026 season.

It's a Wednesday morning, and despite being out of the playoffs, the Edmonton Oilers have successfully hijacked the entire NHL news cycle. The rumors are no longer just whispers—reports have officially surfaced that the Oilers are hunting for a new head coach, and they have a specific target in their crosshairs.   We got things started today with Morning Announcements for The Rundle Park Short Course to recap everything that transpired yesterday in the world of sport. YouTube Trev also touched on his first round of the year at Rundle!    After the break, it was time for MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop.

We kick off today's show with Craig Button, and he didn't hold back on the rumors swirling around 104th Avenue. With reports that the Oilers have sought permission to interview former Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy, Craig gave us a 'reality check' on the coaching carousel. He argued passionately that while Cassidy is a proven winner, a change behind the bench won't fix the fundamental roster flaws—specifically a -13 goal differential—that have plagued this team all season. We then shift our focus to the Western Conference semifinals, where the Colorado Avalanche took a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Wild. Craig breaks down how Colorado's depth players, like Parker Kelly and Ross Colton, have turned the tide while the stars were under fire.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   We then got to Weekly Confessions for Spectrum Rent All. Plenty of great confessions from the boys today, especially YTT...    To cap off hour two, CPKC Women's Open Tournament director, Brian Newton joined the show to highlight this event.

Gage had all the answers.   We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff. 

We kick off the week with TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, who helps us navigate the eerie 'calm before the storm' in Edmonton. With the offseason officially underway, Dregs weighs in on the brewing power struggle at 104th Ave—is it a bigger risk to stay the course with the current coaching staff, or to hit the reset button behind the bench yet again? We then shift our focus East, where the Montreal Canadiens have the hockey world buzzing after a dominant Game 3 win over Buffalo. Dregs breaks down just how 'legit' this Habs run is before reacting to the Carolina Hurricanes making history with their second straight sweep. With the Canes now facing a massive 12-day layoff before the Eastern Conference Final, we discuss whether the rest will be a blessing or a rhythm-killer for the league's hottest team.   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 Centre Shop.

We then hit on Morning Announcements for Rundle Park Short Course.    After the break, we got into day four of YouTube Trev's trade of the day.

Dusty and the fellas are back to wrap up a massive week in sports, from the bracket-shifting action on the ice and hardwood to a bombshell awards announcement that has the city of Edmonton fired up.   We start today's show by recapping everyone's evenings from last night, laying out the show and dipping into Morning Announcements for Rundle Park Short Course.   After the break, we quickly touched on Bouchard being snubbed, then dove into YouTube Trev's trade of the day.

It's a Thursday in Edmonton, and while the sun is out, the clouds are still lingering over Rogers Place. The Edmonton Oilers' offseason is in full swing, but the "patient" approach from the front office has the fans—and the fellas—feeling anything but calm. We're diving back into the wreckage of the 2025-26 season to ask the hard questions that management hasn't answered yet.   We quickly got into Morning Announcements to recap all the action from last night in the NHL and NBA.   After the break, we continued the Oilers discussion. Dusty asked the boys and the nasties what's the best reason to keep Bowman as GM? It was tough to find the answer.   To cap off hour one, it's day two of YouTube Trev's trade of the day.
