The Nielson Show - May 9th - Hour 2

The Nielson Show

During the second hour, Luke Gazdic joins the show as the 'Pro Am Sports Big Guest of the Day.' He breaks down the game saying that the Canucks were over-respecting the Edmonton Oilers and that the Canucks progressed throughout the game to shut down McDavid and the rest of their top players. Gaz then takes a look at Stuart Skinner and his poor start in game one. He says that some of the goals against Skinner weren't completely his fault besides Connor Garland. Besides that, he didn't look too much into it but eludes to the fact that teams aren't going to win if they let in 5 goals.

After having Mattias Janmark on the top line, Gazdic thinks that the Oilers should have Foegele on the third line, Holloway on the first line and keep Janmark as a depth player. Luke Gazdic thinks the third line isn't the best and that Holloway is one of the only players on the Oilers who can match McDavid's speed.

After wrapping up with the Oilers, Gaz shares his thoughts on the Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins series. Tons of hits in that game and highlights the physicality and playstyle of the Panthers. They shoot, finish checks and play a different brand of hockey. Gaz thinks the Panthers will take the series.

He then moves on to the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche series saying that this next game is a huge one for the Stars. Gaz didn't make a specific pick but he thinks that the Avalanche are insanely quick and only getting better.

He finishes up by sharing his enjoyment of being on Sportsnet and how it doesn't feel like a job.

Afterwards, the boys head into 'The Paris Jewellers Inbox' for some texts from fans.

Dusty then makes his play for the 'Coolbet Hotline of the Day' going to the Dallas Stars at +128!

We hear this year's playoff song to try and hype people up for a game 2 bounce back.

Oh boy, Lt. Eric and Dusty cook during 'I Got Beef' for the ACME Meats where Dusty touches on the fact that people truly think the Canucks vs Oilers series is over after game one and also the fact that Matthew Iwanyk STOLE a cheese curd from Dusty's poutine.
