Darren Dreger was the first guest on today's show. He gave his initial thoughts heading into game one for the Oilers against the Ducks. We got his thoughts on the health of a few players heading into the series, the confidence of the Oilers goaltending situation. We then took a look on the other side to discuss the young and exciting Ducks. To finish, we went around the league and got his thoughts on other series that transpired over the weekend.

It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day.

After the break we got into MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop. So much good going on right now. Alley Kat's Six O'clocker Lager is on sale for the playoffs, the Oilers open up the playoffs tonight, The Ranch Golf Course opens up tomorrow, our EST Spring pop up store is live and we revealed the Wayne Gretzky peal off cut out.

To finish off hour two, we got into Dusty's top 10 players in the Oilers and Ducks series.

The wait is finally over. The playoffs are here, and The Nielson Show is your ultimate home for everything Oilers postseason. We are pulling out all the stops for Game 1 to get you ready for puck drop at Rogers Place.

We start off the show by laying it out and then by quickly recapping everyone's weekends. The playoffs are officially here, so we debuted this year's playoff song, a tradition unlike any other.

After the break, we got right into the Oilers upcoming series against the Ducks and got a vibe check on YTT.

And to finish hour one, we got into everyone's good, bad and ugly from the weekend.

We got the third hour started with Mr Mikes Kind of Easy Trivia.

It was then time for Three Questions Too Many presented by Park Mazda.
