  • The show I didn’t know was missing in my life.

    I’m not in or from Edmonton so I didn’t even know about the show until just before it launched as a podcast. Now this has become a regular listen for me. I sometimes laugh so hard that I am in tears! Definitely worth a listen, even if you aren’t an Oilers or Elks fan.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Nielson Show - Sept 17th, 2026 - Hour 2
Q: When you've got something that you know has worked so well for so long, would you touch that, Bruce, or would you just leave that alone?
Boudreau would keep the first power-play unit together, but try to reduce its time on the ice so the next group can contribute and feel involved.
The Nielson Show - Sept 17th, 2026 - Hour 2
Q: What were your camps like, Bruce? You pushed guys pretty hard, and with a shortened pre-season, would you push them even harder now to get them going, or how did you approach it?
Boudreau sent players detailed preparation plans in July, began camp with fitness testing and practice, and preferred getting into systems rather than scrimmaging. With a shorter camp, he would focus quickly on teaching and forming the team.
The Nielson Show - September 8th, 2026 - Hour 2
Q: Is this a guy who could come in here and become the legitimate number one by the end of the season, or is he going to be a guy who plays 15 to 20 games?
Button describes Devin Levi as talented and intelligent, noting that his previous results were impressive but that he may have been pushed into NHL expectations too soon. He thinks Levi can become a solid NHL goaltender, while whether he becomes a true number one will take time to determine.
The Nielson Show - September 8th, 2026 - Hour 2
Q: When you look at this team on paper, is it better than last year's team? And how much, when we say, look at a team on paper, do we have to factor in, you know, a little bit of an X factor at coach?
Button says coaching will be significant, but Edmonton's inconsistency and unstable goaltending were major issues last season. He considers the Oilers a playoff team and says the roster may come together under Mike Babcock, though the goaltending situation remains uncertain.
The Nielson Show - Sept 17th, 2026 - Hour 3
Q: How quickly does Babcock put his stamp on this team? And how do you think he goes about doing that?
Seravalli says Babcock has already set a tone through his presence and meetings, and expects more intense, crisp practices and stronger attention to detail from the start.
