The Nielson Show

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. What's good today for Dusty is ball season being back and how much fun it is for Dusty coaching Marshall!

Greg Wyshynski was the final guest on today's show. A lot of news breaking this morning which we got Greg's thoughts on regarding the Oilers current coaching situation. We then took a trip around the NHL playoffs to touch on the Avs and Wild series and finished with the Habs and Sabres series.
 
We finished the show like we always do with The Wrap from William Huff.

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.
