The Nielson Show - April 24th - Hour 1

The Nielson Show

Former Oilers goaltender Joaquin Gage joins Lt. Eric to set up game two of the Kings vs Oilers series!

During hour one of the show, the boys also talk about the great action that happened elsewhere around the NHL including the Panthers vs Lightning, Maple Leafs vs Bruins, Avalanche vs Jets, Capitals vs Rangers, Islanders vs Hurricanes, Vegas vs Dallas Nashville vs Vancouver!

Lt. Eric sets up the entire lineup of the show during 'The Morning Announcements' for 100.3 The BEAR!

The boys chat about the action from last night before Mike Johnson joins as the 'Pro Am Sports Big Guest of the Day!' When Johnson joins the boys, he shares some stories about goaltenders getting pieced up during his playoff time in Toronto with Felix Potvin and Curtis Joseph between the pipes. He then continues his goalie talk by moving on to the Avalanche vs Jets series to highlight Hellebuyck's play and if it should concern Winnipeg. After that, he dives into the Nashville/Vancouver series with Demko's health and the Predators' strong play. Johnson then talks about the Bruins situation with two reliable goalies in Swayman and Ullmark while comparing it to how difficult playing 60+ games is for a tendy. He thinks that the Bruins will continue to roll their goalies until they don't play anymore. To wrap up his visit, MJ reflects on game one before setting up the action between the Kings and Oilers for game two. Will Cam Talbot help get the win for the Kings or are the Oilers too much? How will the Kings play against the orange and blue? What parts of the game are in who's favour? MJ answers all those questions and more during his time on the show.
