  • 426. Oilers back in the win column, Viktor Arvidsson returns, and a back-to-back weekend

    01:06:40||Ep. 426
    After a tough loss to the Florida Panthers on Monday, the Edmonton Oilers got themselves back in the win column with a comeback effort against the Boston Bruins. Was it the prettiest win you'll ever see? No. Does it matter when you get two points? Also, no... maybe.We started the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a delicious debate about the Oilers' new defensive pairings from practice this morning. Although Kris Knoblauch doesn't mix up his D-pairings very often, this morning's practice showed a significant shift away from the status quo. Do you like the new pairings? Do you hate them? Are you confused by the change like Baggedmilk? The answers were all over the map.Changing gears, we looked back at Thursday's win over the Bruins and how the Oilers secured the victory despite not playing their best game. A big part of that win was Leon Draisaitl's seventh consecutive multi-point night, which gave him 50 on the year and 900 points in his career. We also discussed Viktor Arvidsson's return to the lineup and how a devastating hit in the corner arguably punctuated his first night back on the ice. Finally, we finished the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk, and Hot and Cold Performers to wrap up the week. With all of the serious Oilers talk out of the way, it's always nice to wind down with a little bit of shenanigans, and there was plenty of that in the second episode of the week. As for what next week's schedule looks like, we'll be taking Tuesday off to enjoy Christmas Eve before getting right back on it for the Friday episode of the pod. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 425. The Oilers fall 6-5 to the Panthers in a Stanley Cup rematch

    01:00:52||Ep. 425
    The Edmonton Oilers had their five game win streak snapped last night against the Florida Panthers. It was a chaotic game with neither team playing well but, unfortunately, it was the Panthers that found the sixth goal before the Oilers did. Liam, Rick and Nation Dan will talk you back through that game discussing the performance of Evan Bouchard, Stuart Skinner and Zach Hyman. Additionally, they talked about the controversial decision to allow Matthew Tkachuk's power play goal stand after there was a discussion if he kicked the puck or not. Furthermore, after that defeat, head coach Kris Knoblauch shuffled up the line combinations with Jeff Skinner and Connor Brown switching spots. There were also comments about when Viktor Arvidsson could return to the lineup.You can expect all of that and more on today's episode of Oilersnation Radio.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 424. The Edmonton Oilers are so back

    01:05:45||Ep. 424
    The Edmonton Oilers have steamrolled through their competition over the last week, which meant there was plenty to discuss on the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio.The guys kicked off the Friday episode of the podcast with a delicious debate about whether Ryan Hartman should be suspended for his dirty hit on Evan Bouchard in Thursday's game against the Minnesota Wild. Given that Hartman has a history of being fined and suspended for dirty plays, the conversation was a little more split than you may think. After watching the video a handful of times, the guys' thoughts were all over the map as they tried to figure out what the right move was. Changing gears, we looked back at last night's 7-1 win over the Minnesota Wild and how it was one of the most dominant performances the Oilers have had in quite some time. Not only was it a total beatdown, but to do it against one of the best teams in the league was a surprise that none of us saw coming. From Calvin Pickard playing lights out between the pipes to Leon Draisaitl taking over the game with a dominant performance, the Oilers got big performances from key players on their road to victory.Given how the Oilers are playing right now, there are going to be some very interesting roster decisions to make as the team gets healthy. As an example, who comes out of the lineup when a guy like Viktor Arvidsson comes back? What about down the line when Evander Kane comes back? Needless to say, this is a very good problem for the team to have and one that we haven't really experienced before. When you're a strong hockey club like the Oilers are, the team has a chance to get even better and that's a fantastic to think about. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 423. A Lightning preview, and the schedule gets tough for the Edmonton Oilers

    01:04:15||Ep. 423
    It's game day for the Edmonton Oilers as they kick off a very tough stretch in their schedule, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio.The guys started the first episode of Oilersnation Radio with a delicious debate about yesterday's Mackenzie Blackwood trade and whether the Oilers missed the opportunity to acquire the former San Jose Shark. Given the limited picks and prospects available for trade, could the Oilers have tabled a similar offer even if they wanted to try? The other angle the guys discussed is whether Blackwood would fit the plans, given how well Skinner and Pickard are playing right now.Changing gears, we reviewed the report from earlier today that the Oilers and McDavid have yet to start contract negotiations and probably will not until the season is over. We also looked at the incredible run that Connor McDavid has been on over his last 13 games, and we then worked through our guesses about when he could take over the NHL scoring lead. Pivoting to Saturday's win over the St. Louis Blues, we then discussed whether it was cool to boo Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway during that game. As you'll hear, none of us had a problem with it, even though some local media members disagreed.Looking ahead at the 4 Nations Face-Off, we discussed whether it was a problem that only three Oilers were named to the tournament. Seeing as Zach Hyman and Evan Bouchard were notable omissions from the Canadian roster, we wondered how big of a deal it is that they won't be playing, especially when you remember that two weeks of rest at that point of the year could be a good thing. The other angle will be whether those guys will eventually make their way onto the team if injuries arise.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    52:54||Ep. 422

To kick things off, they looked at the two games that the team has played since the last podcast. They lost to the Vegas Golden Knights but bounced back in a big way to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets. They gave their thoughts on the victory and how the team has looked over the past week.From there, they talked about Jeff Skinners spot in the lineup and whether or not he’s earned another crack up in the Oilers top six. They also hit on the minor league deal that the team made earlier today.In Ask The Idiots, they discussed the Jacob Trouba trade that dropped earlier today and Rick gave his take on the list of Oilers that were left off Team Canada’s roster at the 4 Nations Faceoff. He actually thinks the downtime will be good for the Oilers.To wrap up the show, they looked ahead to the game against St. Louis, talked about whether or not Broberg and Holloway will get booed in their return to Rogers Place, and the Oilers chances of catching Vegas for the top spot in the division.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 421. Live from Denver For The Nation Vacation

    32:08||Ep. 421
    Tyler, Baggedmilk, Rick and Jay fired up the mobile studio from their hotel room in downtown Denver, Colorado to break down the first 48 hours of the first Nation Vacation of the year. To kick things off, they talked about the Oilers three-game winning streak and what's been propelling the team to victory. Vasiliy Podkolzin, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and the goaltending all got some love. From there, they got into what everyone's been up to over the last few days as they took over the Mile High city. From the bus ride to the game to watching as a group as the Oilers got a big victory in Utah, it's been a great first few days and there was a lot for the boys to talk about.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 420. Slogging through the Oilers' mini bye-week

    01:08:40||Ep. 420
    There are no Edmonton Oilers games until Friday, which meant today's episode of Oilersnation Radio was spent looking at what's to come and what's been happening over the first quarter of the 2024-25 NHL season. This week, the boys discussed the Oilers' scoring woes, what's happening with Hyman and Arvidsson, and a whole lot more. The guys started the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the scoring issues and whether we should be concerned about any of the struggling players. Whether it's Viktor Arvidsson's mysterious injury, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' struggles or Jeff Skinner's being in the coach's doghouse, there are a few players who need to pick it up, whether we're worried about them or not. Changing gears, we looked at some of the other news that's happened over the last few days, including Vasily Podkolzin's first goal as an Oilers, the injuries to Hyman and Arvidsson, and we also looked at Darnell Nurse's first game back after the hit by Ryan Reaves last week in Toronto. Despite no games until Friday, we still got a lot of Oilers news over the last few days, and we took the time to cover it all. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a flurry of random topics, including another rant about the Oilers not needing John Gibson, who will play in net for Canada at the 4 Nations Face Off, some betting talk, and when we think Stuart Skinner will get his save percentage back above .900. Even without playing since Saturday, that didn't mean the boys didn't have plenty to talk about to fill an hour. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
