Oilersnation Radio
Clinchmas is here for the Oilers
Ep. 455
•
There's nothing quite like a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to wrap up your Friday, get you prepped for tonight's game, and keep you updated on all things Edmonton Oilers. This week, the fellas covered the Oilers' injury situation, Connor McDavid's return to the lineup, and much more.
The boys started the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' injury situation, specifically which player's injury we're most concerned about heading into the playoffs. Whether it's Mattias Ekholm not playing much over the last month, Stuart Skinner only getting two more starts before the playoffs, or Evander Kane's return after missing the whole season, Tyler wanted to know which player being healthy is the most concerning.
Looking back at the week, we started with Connor McDavid's return to the lineup on Wednesday against the St. Louis Blues and how the captain looked incredible after being on the shelf for eight games. With three points and more than a handful of flashes of brilliance, McDavid looked back to being himself, and it couldn't have come at a better time. We also spoke about Mattias Ekholm's return to the lineup, and we offered our take on what would be a good night for the Oilers' defender after so much time out with injury.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Friday episode of the podcast with another round of betting talk and Hot and Cold Performers to recap the last week of our lives. Whether it was talking about Connor McDavid's return, having players heat up at the right time, or the opportunity to keep winning games despite losing the team's two best players, there was plenty to discuss on the Friday episode of ONR.

467. Oilers look to rebound in Dallas for Game 2
01:07:46||Ep. 467Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to be enjoyed. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Edmonton Oilers' Game 1 loss, what they need to do to rebound in Game 2, the Carolina Hurricanes getting demolished, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of the podcast with a delicious debate about whether the boys think Game 2 is a must-win situation for the Oilers. Teams that go up 2-0 in a best-of-seven playoff series have gone on to win that series 87.5 percent of the time in NHL history, so while it may not be a literal must-win game, it's hard to argue against it in the spiritual sense. Even so, the boys are all confident in Edmonton's ability to bounce back after a tough outing, considering how many times they've already done it.Looking ahead to Game 2, we walked through some of the adjustments we'd like to see the team make to avoid repeating the same mistakes that led to Dallas scoring five unanswered goals. From the PK needing to be better to the boys needing to be more disciplined in general, we actually didn't have too many notes to offer, as 40 of the 60 minutes in Game 1 went incredibly well. Of course, no one cares about silver linings at this point in the season, but that didn't stop the boys from shedding some sun on the situation anyway.Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. After dropping Game 1 to Dallas in the worst possible way, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode talking about why we shouldn't be panicking over one loss, even if it was an ugly one.

Oilers vs. Stars preview, and an NHL Round 2 recap
01:02:44||Ep. 466Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is set to massage your ear feelings. On the Tuesday edition of the podcast, the guys previewed the Edmonton Oilers vs. Dallas Stars rematch, Mattias Ekholm's nearing a return, Kris Knoblauch's line combination changes, and more.The guys kicked off the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a delicious debate about how the Oilers matchup against the Dallas Stars. While many fans were nervous about the L.A. Kings and Vegas Golden Knights, a significant portion of the fan base is feeling very bullish about Round 3. Even though the Stars are a very strong hockey club, are Oilers fans feeling too confident about getting through to the Stanley Cup Final before a single game has even been played?Sticking with the Western Conference Final preview, we looked ahead at what's to come in this year's rematch against the Dallas Stars. Starting with Mattias Ekholm returning to practice with the main group, and whether that move signals his return to the lineup. Given that he hasn't played in nearly two months, does it make sense to rush him back a little bit despite the rest of the club playing as well as they are?Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a run of betting talk for our friends at bet365, keys to victory vs. the Stars, and offered a few reasons why everyone should believe the Oilers can get the job done for a second straight year in the WCF. As you'll hear, the boys feel bullish about the Oilers' chances of getting the job done, but that'll only happen if they can bring the same effort that saw them close out their first two rounds against L.A. and Vegas.465.

01:06:14||Ep. 465Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to be enjoyed. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Edmonton's series win over Vegas, what to expect from the Western Conference Final, and much more.The boys started the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about who everyone would prefer to face in the Western Conference Final if they could wave a magic wand and make it happen. Whether you think Edmonton has a better chance against Winnipeg or Dallas, there are angles you could run with for why the Oilers matchup against either team, but thinking about the next opponent was a fun debate. Looking back at the week that was, we walked through the Oilers' performance, including their back-to-back shutouts against the Golden Knights, and how our side was able to strengthen as the series progressed. What stuck throughout the entire series, though, was Edmonton's ability to get goals at key moments from depth players at times when it mattered most. A perfect example was how Kasperi Kapanen sat out the first nine games of the playoffs before returning and making an immediate impact. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. It's incredible how much things can change after those first two losses to L.A., isn't it? Especially when you remember that the Oilers were down 2-0 in the series at this same point only a week ago. Life comes at you fast, doesn't it?

Oilers put Golden Knights on the ropes with dominant Game 4 win
01:02:12||Ep. 464Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is set to massage your ear feelings. On the Tuesday edition of the podcast, the guys discussed the Edmonton Oilers' stranglehold on the Golden Knights, Stuart Skinner's shutout, Kris Knoblauch's line combination changes, and more.The guys kicked off the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a delicious debate about the Oilers' goaltending, and whether we would go back to Calvin Pickard when he gets healthy again or if Stuart Skinner's shutout is enough to give No. 74 another chance at a run. While there's no doubt that Calvin Pickard was fantastic in the six games he played, you can't discount how solid Skinner was in Game 4. But the question is whether one game was enough to turn the crease back over to Stuart Skinner.Looking back at Game 4, we started the recap with a conversation about Evander Kane. The player has been exceptional since returning from injury, and being able to raise his level despite being out for 10 months is causing havoc for the Golden Knights. We also discussed Kris Knoblauch's lineup changes landing perfectly, as both Kasperi Kapanen and Troy Stecher made immediate impacts. Having both of those guys play as well as they did led to another secondary debate about whether they've done enough to stick in the lineup for Game 5. Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a run of betting talk for our friends at bet365, keys to close out the series, and offered a few reasons why everyone should believe the Oilers can get the job done at T-Mobile in Game 5. As you'll hear, the boys feel bullish about the Oilers' chances of getting the job done, but that'll only happen if they can bring the same effort that saw them close out their first-round matchup against Los Angeles.463. Oilers take both games in Vegas, keep the comeback win streak alive
01:14:23||Ep. 463Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to be enjoyed. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Edmonton's win over Los Angeles, what to expect from the Vegas Golden Knights, and much more.The guys kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a random discussion about mascots before finally getting to our delicious debate for the week, which revolved around Nic Roy's cross-check to Trent Frederic's face. On Friday morning, the NHL DoPS announced that Roy would face a hearing later today. That prompted the boys to wonder whether he would be suspended for one game or if getting kicked out in overtime was enough of a punishment. Changing gears, we examined what the Oilers need to do in Game 3 to ensure they maintain the momentum. While Edmonton managed to win Game 2, one can argue that the team was fortunate to pull out the victory, given the numerous mistakes made and the Golden Knights' strong performance. If they're going to kick off their games at home with another win, Edmonton will need to do a much better job on the small details of their game. Put another way, it would be really lovely if Calvin Pickard didn't have to bail the boys out as often as he has been. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. It's incredible how much things can change in two weeks, isn't it? Especially when you remember that the Oilers were down 2-0 in the series at this same point only a week ago. Life comes at you fast, doesn't it?462. Oilers vs. Golden Knights preview episode
01:01:25||Ep. 462Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is set to massage your ear feelings. On the Tuesday edition of the podcast, the guys discussed the Edmonton Oilers' series comeback, what to expect from Game 1 vs. Vegas, Calvin Pickard getting the start, and much more.The boys started the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Calvin Pickard starting Game 1 for the Oilers instead of going back to Stuart Skinner. Given that Calvin Pickard won the Oilers' last four games, it would make sense to give our pal Cal the net for Round 2, but that doesn't necessarily mean we won't see Skinner at any point in the series. While everyone agreed with Pickard getting the nod to start, everyone also saw a path where the team would go back to Skinner later in the series.Looking ahead at the Oilers vs. Golden Knights, the guys walked through their series predictions for Round 2 and how the boys are all bullish on Edmonton's chances to get through Vegas. But if they're going to beat Vegas in this second round, a big step toward that goal has to be finding a way to win this first game. Unfortunately, the bad news about Game 1 is that the Oilers are only 3-10 in series openers in the Connor McDavid era, which led to a discussion about what they need to do to avoid going down 0-1 again.Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a run of betting talk for our friends at bet365, keys to victory in Game 1, and offered a few reasons why everyone should believe the Oilers can exact revenge over Vegas. As you'll hear, the boys feel bullish about the Oilers' chances to get the job done, but that will only happen if they can bring the same effort that saw them close out their first-round matchup over Los Angeles.461. Oilers close out the Kings for fourth straight year
01:01:16||Ep. 461On Tuesday's episode of Oilersnation Radio, we predicted that the next time we spoke on the podcast, we'd be discussing the Oilers' series win. Getting that prediction right made for a very fun episode of ONR to close out the week. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Edmonton's win over Los Angeles, what to expect from the Vegas Golden Knights, and much more.The boys kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about our favourite moment from the Oilers' first-round series win over the Kings and what moment we will still be thinking about years down the line. From the way Edmonton roared back from being down 2-0 to the way the depth scoring came flooding in to help close things out, there are plenty of options for core memories to lock in from what was a wild ride in round one.Continuing the conversation about Game 6, we wondered what losing to the Oilers for four consecutive years would do to the Los Angeles Kings. Given that Los Angeles is clearly not good enough to compete with the big dogs in the Pacific Division, are they nearing a point when the Kings would consider tearing it down and trying to start over?Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. It's amazing how much things can change in a week, isn't it? Especially when you remember that the Oilers were down 2-0 in the series at this point last week.
