What's good today is the CFL season starting tomorrow.

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?

We are back with a fresh, jam-packed edition of The Nielson Show on Edmonton Sports Talk, but the studio looks a little different today! With Lieutenant Eric away, the one and only Tom Gazzola steps into the co-host chair alongside Dustin Nielson (Jmo).   It's been a hot minute since Tommy and Jmo shared the airwaves together, so the fellas have plenty of catching up to do after a wild, historic Monday in the sports world.   The first segment we hit on today's show was Morning Announcements for Haddies Golf Shop to recap all the action from last night in the sports world.   When we returned from the break, we quickly touched on the resurgence of Taylor Hall and touched on the career that he's had. Which then brought us to YouTube Trev's trade of the day. Another swing and a miss from the young buck.   We capped off hour with by getting Fired Up for Gemco Fireplaces. In this segment, Tommy read some texts from nasties that were fired up about YouTube Trev's trade of the day.

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.   ESPN's Greg Wyshynski closed out today's show direct from Raleigh! Greg gave us his boots-on-the-ground report from the Stanley Cup Final media days and broke down the biggest storylines ahead of tonight's Game 1. We also tackled some heavy topics, including the tragic passing of Claude Lemieux and Carter Hart's recent media availability. Plus, Greg weighed in on Taylor Hall's career resurgence, why Manny Malhotra is a home-run hire for the Canucks, and locked in his official Stanley Cup Final prediction. Who is he taking to hoist the Cup?   We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff. 

TSN's Craig Button kicked off the show today fresh off the Memorial Cup in Kelowna. He broke down the tournament champs and answered the burning question: why has the WHL gone 12 years without a trophy? Are they actually falling behind? Plus, former Oilers prospect Sam O'Reilly was absolutely lights out—we asked Craig if Edmonton is going to deeply regret that trade. We also get his take on Manny Malhotra landing in Vancouver, and hit his official Stanley Cup Final preview.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   After the break, it was time for Weekly Confessions for Spectrum Rent All. What are the boys confessing today? Plenty of soccer talk was discussed in this segment, which brought the boys to the end of the hour.

The fellas are back with another jam-packed edition of The Nielson Show!  To kick off the morning, Jmo and Lt. Eric are breaking down everything that went down over a massive weekend in the sports world.   They started off by recapping everyone's weekends and touching on their fancy attire today as it is MDRN Measure Monday! Both Lt. Eric and YouTube Trev gave some love to Jared and Richy from MDRN Measure, as they most certainly hooked the boys up with some wicked suits!   We then got into Morning Announcements for The Rundle Park Short Course to recap all that transpired last night and over the weekend.   After the break, it was time for YouTube Trev's trade of the day. Another miss from the youngster again. Will he ever bounce back?   To cap off hour one, we gave our good, and ugly from the weekend.

TSN NHL Insider Darren Dreger joined the show off the top to break down Team Canada's stunning medal-less return from the World Hockey Championship following a 3-2 overtime loss to Norway. We debated whether the global gap is closing or if Canada is simply slipping off the podium. Plus, we highlighted the Kitchener Rangers' dominant Memorial Cup victory while examining the WHL's ongoing struggles at the Mem Cup. Finally, Dregs gave us his Stanley Cup Final preview, locked in his championship pick, and provided the latest on the Oilers' coaching search.   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. What's good today is the international friendly between Canada and Uzbekistan at Common Wealth Stadium later tonight! This brought the boys to the end of the hour.

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.   Former NHLer Joaquin Gage wrapped up today's show, and we covered a ton of ground. We kicked things off with his take on the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix before switching gears to Team Canada's disappointing finish at the World Championships, where they missed the podium yet again. Then, we looked ahead to the Stanley Cup Final to debate which team would actually pull off the better storyline with a championship win. Finally, we looked at Sam O'Rielly joining elite company after capturing his second Memorial Cup title this weekend—leaving us to wonder: will the Oilers end up regretting that trade down the road?   We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

The ultimate insider Chris Johnston stops by to kick off Friday's show!
