Oilers look to extend win streak, Leon Draisaitl dominance, and secondary scoring
•
It's Tuesday afternoon and we're only a few hours away from the Edmonton Oilers taking on the Utah Hockey Club, which meant there was plenty to talk about on today's podcast. In today's show, we covered the Oilers' modest win streak, Leon Draisaitl's dominance, new line combinations, and much more.
We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the power play and whether it's time for Kris Knoblauch to make some changes with his personnel. As you'll hear, the boys aren't opposed to making player changes, but if Knobby doesn't want to do that, he needs more than one player shooting the puck. Despite having a laundry list of quality shooters on PP1, there are only a couple of players who are willing to fire the puck.
From there, we looked back at the Oilers' successful weekend in New York and how crucial it was that they beat both the Islanders and Rangers to wrap up their road trip. For a team that seems to be battling confidence right now, securing those four points at the end of the trip was crucial, especially with the way the L.A. Kings have really started to heat up over the last few weeks. It's amazing what a bad two-week stretch of hockey can do for the standings, right?
We also touched on the incredible run Leon Draisaitl is on right now and how his 18-game point streak is not only the longest in the NHL this season but the longest of his career. No matter how well or poorly the team has played this season, the one constant has been Draisaitl's dominance on a nightly basis. In even better news, it looks like Connor McDavid is also starting to heat up after sniping a beautiful shot past Igor Shesterkin on Sunday at Madison Square Garden.
Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a random collection of topics, including some betting talk ahead of Tuesday's matchup vs. Utah, what the Oilers need to do on their home stand, and much more. Needless to say, the guys always have plenty to talk about when the Oilers are battling to get back to the consistency that saw them be one of the best teams in the NHL for a 30-game stretch.

499. Oilers lose back-to-back games, still can't score, and Knoblauch's line blender
01:04:00||Ep. 499It's Tuesday afternoon, and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today's episode, the guys discussed the Oilers' back-to-back losses, Connor McDavid's scoring woes, goaltending, and much more. We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate over whether the Oilers have an identity problem. Given how sloppy they've been through the first 10 games, it's fair to wonder why this team cannot figure out how to start a season off on the right foot. Regardless of where you sit with the question, no one on the podcast is particularly concerned, even though the results haven't gone our way. Frustrating? Yes. Worrying? Not yet. Changing gears, we looked back at the two losses from this past weekend and how the same damned mistakes keep preventing any forward progress. The guys also discussed Connor McDavid's only goal this season and dissected his shot totals from previous years, when he was much more active. While no one on the show thinks this trend will continue, the message from everyone's standpoint was that the captain needs to shoot more. He's too good not to be. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk's Trivia, including some Oilers vs. Utah-specific questions ahead of tonight's game. If you listened to last week's episode, you'll know that BM was way off on one of the questions, which prompted Liam to take on the role of trivia marshall and auditor. Did Baggedmilk get his questions right? You'll have to listen to find out for sure. SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!Powered by @bet365. Whatever the moment, it’s Never Ordinary at bet365.

Oilers win in the most stressful way possible feat. Erik Sabrowski
01:24:12||Ep. 498It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers two recent wins, some recent milestones on the roster, David Tomasek's first NHL goal, line combos, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether the boys felt the Oilers had the refs on their side as they did last night against Montreal. While there was some debate about the penalties called, no one on the podcast felt the Oilers had an unfair advantage because the Habs couldn't kill penalties. The main point is that Edmonton took advantage of its opportunities, whereas the Canadiens could not.Continuing with the breakdown of these last two wins, we looked at the issues that are preventing the Oilers from running the show, and most of them are self-inflicted. The good news is that the team is still finding ways to win even with these glaring issues standing in their way. That said, being as sloppy as the Oilers have been isn't exactly the smartest strategy unless the goal is to live in the land of mediocrity. 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. With the 2025-26 season well underway, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode discussing a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that’s what happens at this stage of a new campaign.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!Powered by @bet365.

Oilers back on track, NHL Superstitions, and Studying Film
13:26|Ask Dubey episode 19 is live! Dubey gave his thoughts on what the the start of the Oilers season, Did Ryan Jones understand the impact he had on the city of Edmonton, What goes into how a goalie studies film and how far back do they go, what do NHL players do over the All-Star break when they are not invited, and what kind of superstitions/ game day routines did Dubey have?Don't forget to comment your questions for Devan Dubnyk to answer next week or use #AskDubey on social media!💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Oilers losing streak, Kasperi Kapanen hurt, and the return of Jake Walman
01:01:26||Ep. 497It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' losing streak, Tuesday's game against the Senators, line combos, and much more.After a few left-hand turns on topics, the boys kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about what to expect from Jake Walman's return to the lineup after missing training camp and the pre-season with a mysterious upper-body injury. Despite not playing yet this season, there's little doubt that Walman is one of the Oilers' best puck-moving defencemen, and having him back in the lineup will surely help.Changing gears, the guys dissected the Oilers' current three-game losing streak and how the lack of production from the big boys is undoubtedly contributing to the results. While the slumps won't last forever, it's hard not to be frustrated about the ways things are going offensively, and how the Oilers haven't yet made the adjustments needed to kick this snake bite. The good news is that there are adjustments to be made that can hopefully make a positive impact. Can they turn things around? Yes. Will it take work and adjustments? Absolutely. Finally, we wrapped up the first episode of the week with another (flawed) round of Baggedmilk's Trivia that had the boys looking ahead at at Tuesday's matchup between the Oilers and Senators. Despite one of the questions being factually incorrect, it was a good time to hear the fellas work through their logic in what was a haphazardly put together bit by Baggedmilk. As it turns out, it's not just the Oilers that are struggling to produce offence right now.

Oilers mistakes, Evan Bouchard, and first impressions of Jack Roslovic
01:09:15||Ep. 496It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' season opener, Thursday's matchup against the Islanders, line combos, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the start of the Oilers' road trip through the first two games in New York. While the Oilers did beat the Rangers, it wasn't exactly their best performance. When it came to the Islanders, the boys made so many mistakes that it would have almost been a miracle had they been able to pull off the win. The good news is that many of the errors that led to that loss are fixable, and the boys all expect the team to be better going forward.Continuing with the breakdown of Thursday's loss, the boys wanted to give Stuart Skinner some love for his work last night even though the stats would suggest he wasn't as good as he was. Had it not been for Skinner, that loss to the Islanders would have been way worse than it ended up. From there, we offered our first impressions on Jack Roslovic. Even though he's only played two games with Edmonton so far, it's tough to get an accurate read on the player when he's trying to get up to speed after missing training camp and the pre-season.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.

Keys To Edmonton Oilers Success + Becoming a Millionaire
10:58|Ask Dubey episode 18 is live! Dubey gave his thoughts on what the Oilers will need from their young players and depth to be successful this season, What kind of advice is given to young players when handling large amounts of money for the first time, Why goalies dont usually play on back to back nights, and what advice would Devan give to a young goaltender?Don't forget to comment your questions for Devan Dubnyk to answer next week or use #AskDubey on social media!SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Oilers Early Season Thoughts
01:01:57||Ep. 495It's Tuesday afternoon and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the NHL regular season is just around the corner because we're back to two podcasts per week. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' first road trip of the year, Baggedmilk's trivia, season predictions, and much more.Oilers heading out for first road trip of the NHL seasonWe kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about what the Oilers need to do on their first road trip of the season to call it a successful run through the East. Given that the Oilers are supposed to be one of the best teams in the NHL, the guys all had very different ideas of what the Oilers need to do to be considered a success. The tricky part of predicting results on an early road trip like this is that teams are still so sloppy early in the year, creating opportunities for unexpected results. Changing gears, the guys looked back at the Oilers' 3-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks, and how that game was far more lopsided than the score probably suggested. As much as it was frustrating in the moment, it was hard not to be impressed by how well Thatcher Demko played and how he was the only reason this wasn't a blowout. The guys also discussed the $2500 fine issued against Tyler Myers for sticking Connor McDavid in the pills, and how a value like that is meaningless for a player who's made $90 million in his career. We also discussed the new line combinations that are set for Tuesday's matchup vs. the Rangers. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of season predictions for the 2025-26 NHL season, including some additional goal totals, head-to-heads, and anything else we could think about to build out what we started last week. From team goal predictions to Pacific Division standings to how many starts Stuart Skinner will make this season, the end of the first Tuesday episode of ONR was as fun as it was all over the map.494.

On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' season opener, Friday's matchup against the Canucks, line combos, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about why the NHL doesn't have any games scheduled on the first Friday of the schedule. While this delicious debate was mostly to annoy Liam, it did give him the opportunity to rant about his hatred of the schedule. As for the real delicious debate, Tyler wanted to know what everyone's take was on Stuart Skinner's season opener after the Oilers' goaltender finds himself back in the crosshairs after a tough finish against the Flames.Changing gears, the guys discussed everything that's happened over the last few days, starting with Mattias Ekholm's three-year contract extension. Despite everyone being excited that Big Viking Daddy is sticking around, they did have a healthy conversation about whether the term for someone his age is too long or not. They also discussed the other extensions that have happened around the league this week, and whether Bill Guerin looks at some of those deals and regrets the big ticket for Kirill Kaprizov.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.
