The Nielson Show - May 7th, 2026 - Hour 1

It's a Thursday in Edmonton, and while the sun is out, the clouds are still lingering over Rogers Place. The Edmonton Oilers' offseason is in full swing, but the "patient" approach from the front office has the fans—and the fellas—feeling anything but calm. We're diving back into the wreckage of the 2025-26 season to ask the hard questions that management hasn't answered yet.   We quickly got into Morning Announcements to recap all the action from last night in the NHL and NBA.   After the break, we continued the Oilers discussion. Dusty asked the boys and the nasties what's the best reason to keep Bowman as GM? It was tough to find the answer.   To cap off hour one, it's day two of YouTube Trev's trade of the day. And we got Fired Up for Gemco Fireplaces. Today, we gave away some Stingers tickets.
