Show Notes
Dustin Nielson is broadcasting live virtually from Detroit on today's edition of The Nielson Show on Edmonton Sports Talk!
Dusty is riding high after calling his 3rd career NHL game! He shares behind-the-scenes stories, what the experience was like in Motor City, and all the broadcaster insights from the booth.
The first segment we hit on today's show was Morning Announcements for Haddies Golf Shop to recap everything that went down across the sports world yesterday!
After the break, we got into The Fan Zone for Northern Gauge. We all shared our thoughts on the Oilers upcoming road trip that starts tonight. This then led to a pretty important question… who is the best character in The Mighty Ducks movies..?
We capped off hour one with MMMMMM That's Good presented by Italian Centre Shop to tee up this week's massive game between the Elks and Ti-Cats!
More from The Nielson Show
We got the third hour started with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia.
Bruce Boudreau was the first guest on today's show. We got right into the Oilers talk with him, starting with Connor McDavid's unreal start to the season. He then touched on the play of the team so far this season, how important Nugent-Hopkins return is tonight for the team. We then looked elsewhere and got his thoughts on Brady Tkachuk's return last night in Ottawa and as well touched his biggest surprise so far this season.
Dave Jamieson is back in the house, and the desk is loaded for a packed Thursday edition of The Nielson Show, live right here on Edmonton Sports Talk!
We got the third hour started with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia.
Jamie McLennan kicked off today's guest lineup, jumping straight into a breakdown of last night's thrilling overtime win and what makes this Oilers squad so fun to watch right now. The conversation quickly shifted to the crease, with Noodles evaluating Devon Levi—what sets him apart from previous Edmonton netminders of the McDavid era, and whether it's fair to label him the goalie of the future. The guys also looked down the ice at Minnesota's Jesper Wallstedt, discussing his potential to evolve into one of the league's elite goaltenders. To wrap things up, Noodles previewed tonight's marquee matchup in Ottawa as Brady Tkachuk makes his first emotional return to the nation's capital since being traded.
