It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of ONR is ready to wrap up the week with another round of Edmonton Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' attendance issues, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl's power-play usage, Vasily Podkolzin's impact alongside the team's superstars, and what Edmonton needs from its regulars moving forward. Plus, they looked at who could lead the NHL in goals this season and broke down some hot and cold performers around the league.
We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate before diving into the Oilers' ice time and whether certain players could be seeing more minutes throughout games. From there, the conversation shifted to attendance at Rogers Place, with the guys discussing the empty seats at recent Oilers games and what the organization can do to get more fans through the doors. With ticket prices and fan experience always part of the conversation, how can Edmonton make sure the building is packed night after night?
Shifting gears, the guys turned their attention to the power play and the frustration surrounding McDavid and Draisaitl not getting enough opportunities to produce. Are the Oilers taking away one of their best weapons by limiting their time on the man advantage? The guys also discussed the importance of picking your spots, the return of David Perron, and whether Podkolzin is helping McDavid and Draisaitl become even more dangerous. Plus, they looked at which regulars need to give the team more and took a look at who could finish the season as the NHL's leading goal scorer.
Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another edition of Ask the Idiots before getting into a discussion about the league's hottest and coldest performers. With plenty of questions surrounding the Oilers' lineup, power play, and attendance, the guys had no shortage of topics to debate heading into the weekend. As always, nothing is off the table when the boys get together for another episode of Oilersnation Radio.
