The Nielson Show - May 14th, 2026 - Hour 2

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.
