The Nielson Show - April 23rd, 2026 - Hour 2

We're kicking off today's show with a visit from former NHL head coach Bruce Boudreau! Bruce explains why the 1-1 series split might be more concerning for the Oilers than it looks on paper. We dive into the 'Boudreau Breakdown' of how the Ducks are effectively neutralizing Connor McDavid, why Anaheim is currently winning the special teams battle, and which of the Ducks' young stars has impressed him the most. We wrap things up with a lap around the league to check in on the rest of the NHL playoff bracket.   It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.   After the break, we dove into I've Got Beef! A lot to be beefing about today.   The one and only Reid Wilkins capped off hour two with his beef and great breakdown from last night's game.
