Breaking down the Oilers' free agency moves so far

Ep. 213

NHL Free Agency is set to launch and the boys are back with a brand new episode of Oilersnation Radio to help you make sense of what’s to come with an hour of all things Edmonton Oilers. On today’s show, we looked at Jack Campbell coming to down, Brett Kulak testing free agency, and a whole lot more.

To kick off the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio, we got started with a look at Ken Holland's work in free agency and which move was his best piece of work? Whether it was Evander Kane taking a team-friendly dealBrett Kulak sticking around for a hometown discount, or Jack Campbell getting locked in to settle things down between the pipes, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the work that Ken Holland got done so far in free agency. From there, we looked at Connor Brown going to Washington from Ottawa for a second-round pick and how disappointed we should be that the Oilers weren't able to get the deal done. From there, we looked around the Pacific Division at how the other teams have done in free agency so far and what those moves mean for the Oilers' chances at a division title. Lastly, we wrapped up the podcast with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold performers to recap the week that was.

  • 376. Previewing the Oilers vs. Canucks

    01:00:46
    Oilersnation Radio, your favourite twice-weekly podcast, is back with a fresh episode to spice up your week and talk all. Get ready for some riveting Oilers discussions and debates.Kicking off the Tuesday episode of ONR, we got started with a delicious debate about whether or not anything concerns us about the upcoming series against the Vancouver Canucks. Given that most pundits have the Oilers winning this series, should we be concerned about the Canucks rolling into the series with an underdog mentality?Sticking with the Oilers, we looked at some of the lineup details that came out this morning. Unfortunately for Edmonton, it looks like Adam Henrique will miss Game 1 with a lower-body injury sustained lane in Round 1, meaning someone else will need to step up in his place. Changing gears, we looked around the NHL at some of the other series that are already underway and whether there's a matchup outside of our own that we're excited about. We also looked back at Round 1 and discussed whether or not we were disappointed that the Golden Knights got bumped, eliminating any possibility of exacting revenge. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with another round of Dan's 3v3 game before wrapping up the podcast with a few score predictions ahead of tomorrow's Game 1 against the Vancouver Canucks. 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!!Play the Wendy’s Daily Faceoff Survivor Game for your chance to win (link in description below)👍🏼 Wendy’s: https://order.wendys.com/rewards?lang=en_CA👍🏼Boston Pizza: https://teamupforthecup.ca/👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 375. Talking Oilers, playoffs, and positivity with Brendan Perlini

    01:11:58
    It's Friday afternoon and that means Oilersnation Radio is back with a fresh episode of the podcast full of Oilers talk to carry you through the weekend. This week, we recapped Game 5 from Edmonton vs. L.A., looked ahead at what's to come in Round 2, and welcomed former Oiler Brendan Perlini to the show to talk playoffs, positivity, and whatever else is going on in his life. Kicking off the Friday podcast, we started ONR with a delicious debate about who was the Oilers' MVP and unsung hero during the first round of the playoffs before diving into a recap from Game 5, where the Oilers wrapped up Round 1 and sent the Kings to book tee times. We also touched on the players we thought played well and which guys we think need to step in Round 2. From there, we welcome Brendan Perlini to the podcast to talk a little bit about his time in Edmonton, the Lamborghini Perlini nickname, what it meant to him to play in Arizona now that they're leaving for Utah, and what he's got planned for his upcoming YouTube channel. Finally, we wrapped up the podcast with a look around the NHL, including the Bruins' inability to close out Leafs and tonight's Game 6 between the Canucks/Preds before wrapping up with another round of Hot and Cold performers. 💻 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!!Play the Wendy’s Daily Faceoff Survivor Game for your chance to win (link in description below)👍🏼 Wendy’s: https://order.wendys.com/rewards?lang=en_CA👍🏼Boston Pizza: https://teamupforthecup.ca/👍🏼Duraguard Fence LTD: https://www.duraguardfence.ca/👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 374. Oilers have the chance to close in Game 5

    56:11
    Oilersnation Radio, your favourite twice-weekly podcast, is back with a fresh episode to spice up your week and talk all. Get ready for some riveting Oilers discussions and debates. This week, we discussed the Oilers' two big wins in L.A., how fantastic Stuart Skinner has been, and looked around the early days of the NHL playoffs.Kicking off this week's show, the guys started with a delicious debate about which Oiler has been the most surprising through the first four games of the playoffs so far. Whether it's Vinny Desharnais' progression on the blue line or Dylan Holloway playing incredibly well, there are plenty of players stepping up for the post-season, and it's been fun to watch the depth players have some success. Changing gears, we looked around the NHL at what's going on in the other playoff series. From the Leafs and Jets being on the brink of elimination to a potential matchup between the Oilers and Kings, it's been an electric first round so far. Needless to say, there were plenty of storylines to cover, and the results from tonight's matchups will start to set the table for what happens in round two. Lastly, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of Can You Clear That Up for Me before wrapping up the podcast with some score predictions ahead of tomorrow's Game 5 against the Kings.

  • 373. Recapping Game 3 from Los Angeles

    50:19
    We're in Los Angeles to cover the Oilers' matchup with the Kings, and that meant pushing the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio back a day so that we could discuss the first game at Crypto.com Arena.Kicking off the Game 3 recap edition of the podcast, we started with a delicious debate about whether or not we think the Oilers will be able to finish the Kings off in five games. As you'll hear, the boys are drinking the Kool-Aid and feel like last night's dominant win is only the beginning. That said, the job is not done, and while we believe the series won't last long, the players can't have that same attitude.Changing gears, we spent a little bit of time talking about all of the amazing Oilers fans who came down to Los Angeles for the games and how it's always incredible to see how well this fanbase travels. There are no better people on earth than fans of the Edmonton Oilers, and it was incredible to celebrate such a dominant win together. Lastly, we wrapped up the Saturday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold Performers before wrapping up the podcast with some score predictions ahead of Game 1 against the Los Angeles Kings. After a big playoff win, thishungover episode of Oilersnation Radio was a blast to record, and we all hope you had just as much fun listening as we did making it.
  • 372. The Oilers walked through the Kings in Game 1 and we're pretty pumped about it

    01:08:13
    Oilersnation Radio, your go-to twice-weekly podcast, is back with a brand new episode to spice up your week. Get ready for some riveting Oilers discussions and debates. This week, we discussed the Oilers' Game 1 win, how annoying the LA Kings are, and looked around the early days of the NHL playoffs. To kick off the Tuesday podcast, we had a delicious debate about what was the most impressive aspect of that Game 1 win. From the way they opened the scoring quickly to the way they ignored the Kings' nonsense after the whistles, the Oilers were so much better than LA that the score almost didn't do the game justice. We also talked about the Kings' being outmatched in terms of skill and how the only way they can compete is to try and steer the game into the ditch. Every chance they had, LA was sticking/punching/hacking Edmonton's players to try and get them off their game, but the good news is that our boys navigated the challenge quite well. Lastly, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of Can You Clear That Up for Me before wrapping up the podcast with some score predictions ahead of tomorrow's Game 2 against the Kings. As always, the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio was a lot of fun to record, and we all hope you had just as much fun listening as we did making it.💻 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!!Play the Wendy’s Daily Faceoff Survivor Game for your chance to win (link in description below)👍🏼 Wendy’s: https://order.wendys.com/rewards?lang=en_CA👍🏼Boston Pizza: https://teamupforthecup.ca/👍🏼Duraguard Fence LTD: https://www.duraguardfence.ca/Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!Visit www.nationgear.ca for merch and more.
  • 371. The Oilers take on Los Angeles for the third consecutive year

    01:27:59
    It's Friday afternoon, and that means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is set, edited, and ready to break down all things Edmonton Oilers. This week, we discussed the first round matchup against LA, the Arizona Coyotes' last game, and reviewed our pre-season predictions to see how close we got.Kicking off the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio, the boys looked at the Oilers' first-round matchup against the Kings and whether we're concerned about a third consecutive dance with LA. Seeing as Edmonton's first round opponent took until the very last game of the season. Oilers fans had plenty of opinions on who they wanted to face, but it took until the very last minute for LA to end up as that team.Changing gears, we looked at the Coyotes' last game from Arizona, which happened on Wednesday and whether the boys were sad to see them go. For a few of the fellas, it's about time that the Coyotes get out of the desert, given that the sideshow has gone on for over two decades. The other guys, however, were a little bit disappointed that the story was finally ending after so many battles to keep them there.Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold Performers before wrapping up the podcast with some score predictions ahead of Game 1 against the Los Angeles Kings.

  • 370. Connor McDavid gets his 100th assist and some love for Warren Foegele

    01:09:14
    Oilersnation Radio is your favourite twice-weekly podcast, and that makes today a great day because we've got a fresh episode of the show wrapped up and ready to get you through the week.Kicking off the Tuesday podcast, we started the podcast with a delicious debate about whether or not we would play Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl over the last couple of games, given that there's not a whole lot left to play for in the regular season. Seeing as the Oilers are unlikely to kick off their playoff run until Monday, would you want the Dynamic Duo on the shelf for that much time?Changing gears, we looked at Warren Foegele's time with the Oilers and whether or not this run will come to an end after he put up a hell of a season in his contract year. After putting up career bests in goals, assists, and points, is it realistic for Foegele to stick around Edmonton, or is it more likely that he chases the bag somewhere else? While Baggedmilk thinks Foegele is as good as gone, Rick thinks McLovin will be back with the Oilers when all is said and done. Lastly, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of Can You Clear That Up for Me before wrapping up the podcast with some score predictions ahead of tomorrow's matchup with the Coyotes.

  • 369. How much do you care about the Oilers winning the Pacific Division?

    01:11:39
    It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is all set and ready to carry you into the weekend.Kicking off the Friday podcast, we got started with a delicious debate about why the Oilers are better suited to win the Stanley Cup this year over last year. From the increased levels of experience to the way they had to fight through adversity early in the season to their improved forward depth, there are plenty of reasons to believe the Oilers can legitimately make a go of it.Changing gears, we looked ahead at tonight's matchup versus the Arizona Coyotes only to have the conversation derailed in minutes because of the Utah relocation news. After Frank Seravalli broke the news that the Coyotes will be moving to Salt Lake City for next season, it's almost a relief that this neverending story is finally reaching a conclusion.Turning our attention to what's left on the Oilers' schedule, we looked at this week's games against the Coyotes and Canucks and debated whether or not it makes sense for McDavid to sit out the whole weekend. Seeing as the Oilers still have the chance to win the Pacific Division, picking up wins is incredibly important, but do the points matter more than Connor being healthy for the playoffs?Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold Performers before wrapping up the podcast with some score predictions ahead of the games against the Coyotes and Canucks. As always, the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio was a blast to record, and we all hope you had just as much fun listening as we did making it.
  • 368. Breaking down two impressive wins & McDavid's injury

    58:08
    The guys are back with a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio on a beautiful Tuesday in Edmonton. They kicked off today's pod by looking back at the Oilers two big wins on the weekend. The team smoked the Colorado Avalanche on Friday and followed it up with a very impressive victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday night, which prompted Tyler to ask the crew what the most impressive part of that six period stretch was. From there, they gave some love to a few individual players with Who Delivered for DoorDash. That eventually led to some talk about the news that they got today from Oilers practice. Connor McDavid is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and is questionable for tomorrow's game vs the Vegas Golden Knights. Should the team rest #97? Or is tomorrow nights game big enough that the Captain should play even if he's not at 100%? They debated it.In the back half of the show, they played a little 3v3 centred around tomorrow's game against Vegas and Woz swung by with 'Can you clear that up for me?' where he asked just how important winning the division title actually is.
