Oilersnation Radio
Kris Knoblauch for Jay Woodcroft anniversary, Evan Bouchard, and an Islanders preview
It's game day for the Edmonton Oilers with the New York Islanders in town, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio. On today's podcast, we looked at the Oilers' 7-3 win over the Canucks, what to expect from the New York Islanders, Brett Kulak's strong start, and more.
We started the Tuesday podcast episode by discussing which team we enjoy watching the Oilers beat the most and why. Whether it's laughing at Canucks fans because of how annoying the fanbase can be or Toronto for the way they think they're better than everyone else, it was fun to try and figure out which team is the most annoying. Flipping the question, are there any teams that the boys don't mind losing to?
Moving along, we looked back at the anniversary of Jay Woodcroft being fired and Kris Knoblauch coming in. Seeing as the boys were in Seattle on a Nation Vacation when Woodcroft was fired, everyone gave their take on what life's been like in the year since that coaching change. Back to the current team, the boys also spent some time talking about Evan Bouchard's struggles and how Oilers fans are looking for a whole lot more from their first pairing defenceman.
Finally, the squad wrapped up the Tuesday podcast with some betting talk, keys to victory for beating the Islanders, and offered up a score prediction ahead of tonight's game at Rogers Place. Given that the Oilers and Islanders are both working through varying struggles, their first of two meetings on the season could be a low scoring affair. That said, this game could also be one where the special teams play a major factor given that both sides are struggling on both the PP and the PK.

445. Oilers trade deadline recap
01:08:58||Ep. 445It's Friday afternoon, the trade deadline has passed, and now it's time to recap everything the Edmonton Oilers got done or didn't get done at the NHL's annual swap 'n shop. On today's show, we recapped the trade deadline, offered takes on our winners and losers, and took a deep dive into the three new Oilers Stan Bowman acquired over the last week. We started the episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the Oilers did enough at the trade deadline to keep pace with the arms race that happened in the Western Conference. Obviously, the expectations in Edmonton are sky-high after going to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and the question will be whether Stan Bowman could have done more. While everyone on the podcast wished for more, no one was all that disappointed in the deals that actually got done. Looking at what the Oilers did get done, we looked at the three players Stan Bowman acquired and walked through what the team saw in each of them. For a team that was looking to add some truculence and puck-moving skills, these three new players will certainly help to accomplish that goal. Again, no one on the podcast is saying that the Oilers had a perfect deadline — they did not — but it also wouldn't be fair to call this a failure for the Oilers, given their cap and roster limitations. From there, we discussed the winners and losers and offered our takes on who did the best and worst at the NHL trade deadline. Whether it's the Canucks for failing to move Brock Boeser, the Los Angeles Kings for doing next to nothing, or Dallas Stars for locking in the best player of the day, the guys offered up their reasons for who were the best and worst. Finally, we wrapped up the episode with another round of betting talk, Ask the Idiots questions, and our 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!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

The Trent Frederic trade and how Evander Kane impacts the Oilers' trade deadline plans
58:23||Ep. 444We're only a few days away from the NHL trade deadline, which meant there was plenty to discuss on the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio. In today's podcast, the guys discussed the Trent Frederic trade, Evander Kane's cap situation, secret no-move clauses, trade deadline plans, and much more.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Trent Frederic trade that happened early Tuesday morning, and whether the Oilers overpaid for the trade. We also discussed how everyone thinks this move affects the Oilers' trade plans going into the deadline, and if we think it signals some bigger moves from Bowman going forward. No matter how you look at the trade, the Oilers ultimately got one of the more notable rental targets, and that's something we haven't had around here too often over the years. Changing gears, we looked back at Saturday's win over the Carolina Hurricanes and how it was incredibly important for the Oilers to snap their losing streak. From Calvin Pickard shutting the door between the pipes to Corey Perry coming up with another clutch goal to secure the win, it was a gritty victory that the team desperately needed. We also discussed the revelation that Viktor Arvidsson and Adam Henrique both have no-move clauses on their contract, which prompted the ire of Oilers fans given that some of the talk around potentially moving on from some of our struggling forwards. Looking ahead at the trade deadline, we discussed the news from this week that Evander Kane is looking to return before the end of the regular season, which would seriously impact the team's chance of making additional deals. As you'll hear, everyone on the podcast is irritated with that situation because it seems like such an easy plan to keep him out until the playoffs. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode with some betting talk and another round of Keys to Victory ahead of tonight's matchup between the Oilers and Ducks.💻 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.

The Oilers are in full free fall mode, and it's painful to watch
01:11:52||Ep. 443Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is set and ready to massage your earholes with an hour of Oilers talk. This week, we're discussing trade deadline moves, what's happening with this losing streak, and much more. To kick off the Friday episode of ONR, we started with a delicious debate about whether or not the boys think any of the current forwards on the roster will be traded ahead of next Friday's trade deadline. As you'll hear, the guys on the show all have their fingers pointed at a single forward who has drastically underperformed through the first 2/3 of the season. Despite agreeing on the initial target, the conversation really devolved once we broadened the conversation to potential d-trades.With the delicious debate out of the way, the guys got into some of the issues that are plaguing the team over the course of this five-game losing streak. Whether you're angry about the goaltending, coaching decisions with the lineup, or the team's inability to manage the puck effectively, countless details need to be cleaned up if the ship is going to turn around. Needless to say, you can look at almost any facet of Edmonton's game right now and find details that need to change. Finally, the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio wrapped up with some betting talk for our friends at bet365, another round of Ask the Idiots, and Hot and Cold Performers to recap the week that was. Needless to say, there is a lot going on in Oiler-land right now that needs to be corrected, and the squad spent an hour trying to figure out how to get out of this hole. 💻 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.

The Oilers stink in Philadelphia and Washington + Trade Rumours
50:43||Ep. 442The Edmonton Oilers came back from the 4 Nations Face Off break and didn't give fans much to be excited about. Two lacklustre performances against the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals have put them into a tough spot heading into Tampa Bay. The guys on Oilersnation Radio discussed those games and how disappointed they were to watch. Additionally, how it's not fair to blame everything on Stuart Skinner.With Baggedmilk and Tyler Yaremchuk away, Cooom re-joined the show to fill in and threw a crazy delicious debate hypothetical to kick off the show. While discussing that, it turned into a debate on if Kris Knoblauch needs to manage his team better when returning to breaks. Furthermore, with the NHL now so close to the trade deadline, the guys discussed possible trade targets including a certain Boston Bruins forward. Finally, they closed out the show with there bet365 bets of the night.💻 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/@oilersnationSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Canada beats USA, Connor McDavid scores the winner, and the Oilers are back
01:18:29||Ep. 441Is there anything better than a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to recap Canada's win over the USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off while also previewing tomorrow's return for the Edmonton Oilers? I didn't think so. On this week's podcast, we discussed Connor McDavid's game-winner over the USA, how excited we are for the Olympics, previewed Saturday's Oilers game, and much more. We kicked off the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a delicious debate about the Canadian Olympic team since we're only a year out from the next best-on-best tournament and what adjustments we would make to the lineup. Obviously, Team Canada put together an all-star team for the 4 Nations tournament, but does that mean there isn't room for improvement? As you'll hear, the boys had different ideas about which adjustments they'd make ahead of next year's tourney. Sticking with the 4 Nations Face-Off final, we discussed how the NHL couldn't have gotten a better two weeks of action despite this being a one-off tournament. After such an exciting two weeks of hockey, it's almost going to be a bit of a comedown to get back to the regularly scheduled NHL programming. Even though the regular season won't be nearly as feisty as what we got from the best-on-best tournament, all of us hope that some of the people who got into hockey because of the tournament will stick with it. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk ahead of tomorrow's contest between the Oilers and Flyers, some Ask the Idiots questions that were all over the board, and finally our Hot and Cold Performers of the week. As always, the final chunk of the podcast was all over the map with an array of topics and side quests.440. Talking about the 4 Nations Face-Off, and previewing Canada vs. USA
01:15:23||Ep. 440It's Friday afternoon, which means a new episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is ready to massage your earholes. On today's podcast, we discussed Canada vs. Sweden, predicted what will happen against Team USA, and much more. We kicked off the newest episode of ONR with a discussion about the anthems at the 4 Nations tournament and whether we think it's appropriate to boo at a sporting event or if the fans should leave politics out of the equation. As you'll hear, no one on the podcast would boo at a hockey game, but they also weren't prepared to say that no one should do it. That said, it's a complicated situation for the NHL and one that doesn't seem to have an end in sight. Changing gears, Baggedmilk told a few stories from his quick trip to Montreal. Despite only being in the city for 39 hours, he had a lot to say about being at the 4 Nations Face-Off, Bell Centre hot dogs being overrated, and what it was like to be in the building for Canada vs. Sweden. Baggedmilk admitted he wasn't overly excited about the tournament leading up to that first game, but that changed almost immediately after walking into the Bell Centre for the first time. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, we looked through some rumours surrounding the team as the trade deadline approaches on March 7th. Starting with the Noah Dobson rumour that had people excited, Liam threw cold water on the situation after Frank Seravalli appeared on Oilersnation Everyday and said the idea doesn't make sense from an Islanders perspective. We also looked at the latest trade board over at Daily Faceoff and tried to figure out which other names might be a fit. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk ahead of Saturday's matchup between Canada and the USA, some Ask the Idiots questions that were all over the board, and finally our Hot and Cold Performers of the week. As always, the final chunk of the podcast was all over the map with an array of topics and side quests. 💻 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.

It's Time for the 4 Nations Face-Off
54:32||Ep. 439It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the Edmonton Oilers' biggest stories. This week, we're discussing the 4 Nations Face-Off, the Oilers' approach to the trade deadline, and much more. We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how the NHL can get people more excited about the 4 Nations Face-Off. After cruising around social media, Baggedmilk got the sense that not everyone is dialled into the idea of the tournament taking over the next two weeks. As a result, the fellas came up with whatever ideas they could to try and raise the hype surrounding this one-off tourney. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, we walked through Edmonton's loss to the Avalanche on Friday night and how it was a frustrating loss to see them go down the way they did. Starting with another tough night for Stuart Skinner, the Oilers had essentially lost that game before it even started after a string of costly errors put them in a hole in the first period. That had the boys wondering if Skinner's struggles have amplified the Oilers' need to acquire a goaltender, which led to Liam wondering where the John Gibson noise keeps coming from. Looking at some positive Oilers news, we talked about the incredible season Leon Draisaitl is having and how he seems to be getting better with each passing game. Even though some folks out east don't seem to appreciate his brilliance, watching him hit new levels and raise his game the way he has is a real treat to watch. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode with a round of rumour talk before getting into some betting talk for the 4 Nations tournament.💻 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.

One last Oilers game before the 4 Nations break
01:07:38||Ep. 438Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to lead you into the weekend. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Jeff Skinner's spot in the lineup, Viktor Arvidsson's goal against the Blackhawks, Noah Philp being loaned to Bakersfield, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Jeff Skinner's spot in the lineup and whether he's doing enough to keep himself in the top six. Given that the winger has played well over the last handful of games, will that be enough for Kris Knoblauch? Or will the Oilers' coach continue to mix up his lines in the hopes of finding the perfect fit? As you'll hear, everyone is cautiously optimistic about Skinner's game, but everyone is still a little gun-shy based on his usage so far this season.Changing gears, we looked at Viktor Arvidsson's big goal against the Chicago Blackhawks and whether that beautiful snipe gave us some excitement that could get his offence going. Given that the Oilers paid him a bunch of money to score goals, having only seven on the year is certainly concerning, but that also means there's more there than we're seeing. We also touched on the Oilers loaning Noah Philp back to the Condors ahead of the 4 Nations break and how it's important that he keeps playing instead of sitting around here in Edmonton.We then looked at some recent quotes from Stan Bowman regarding his plans for the trade deadline. As you'll hear, it sounds like the Oilers are seeking depth as opposed to a major acquisition, but there's also no way that he's going to tip his entire hand. When asked about the goaltending, Bowman gave his vote of confidence for his goaltending tandem after there's been a lot of noise about upgraded that position.Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of the podcast with a random collection of topics, including some prop bets for Friday's Oilers game against the Avalanche, some Ask the Idiots questions from listeners, and Hot and Cold Performers to recap the best and worst moments from the past seven days. As always, the boys were all over the map with their answers, but that's the joy of opening up the end of the podcast for a little bit of shenanigans.💻 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.

Oilers goaltending, and three games left before the 4 Nations Face-Off
01:03:51||Ep. 437It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the Edmonton Oilers' biggest stories. On this week's podcast, we discussed the Oilers' loss to Toronto, Kris Knoblauch's new line combos, NHL trade news, and much more.To kick off the first episode of ONR of the week, we started with a delicious debate about whether the Oilers have a goaltending problem and whether they should look at an upgrade between the pipes at the trade deadline. After a tough night for Stuart Skinner against Toronto on Saturday, the guys debated whether or not Stan Bowman should be looking elsewhere. While there was a lively debate about the topic, all of the guys still believed in Skinner but did agree that he needed to limit the highs and lows.Changing gears, we examined the Oilers' new line combos from yesterday's practice and asked everyone's opinion on whether this new trio would work. Before we even got through the first two lines, the conversation shifted to Viktor Arvidsson's lack of offence so far this season and whether that could result in him leaving town before his contract ends. We also discussed the first two games of John Klingberg and whether he's shown enough to make us look elsewhere for upgrades ahead of the trade deadline. We then ripped through all of the news that happened around here over the last week, including some trades that have happened around the NHL, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Tyler's new NHL Trade Rumour segment. If you're looking for a recap of some of the available names that that the Oilers could fish for at the trade deadline, Tyler has all the latest rumblings from around the NHL. With the deadline just over a month away, the silly szn rumours can only ramp up from here, and we'll make sure you're up to date. 💻 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.
