Oilersnation Radio

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.

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.

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.

The Edmonton Oilers are back home after a mediocre eastern Canadian road trip, and their first game back at Rogers Place wasn't much better, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio. This week, we recapped Thursday's loss to the Minnesota Wild, looked at the Oilers' injury issues, and a whole lot more.The guys kicked off the Friday episode of the podcast with a delicious debate about the Oilers' goaltending and how concerned we are about the current situation and tandem. Given that Stuart Skinner was the second best goalie again last night even though the game started with a mind blowing mistake on Marc-Andre Fleury that came only 27 seconds into the first period. Yet, at the same time, is it fair to blame everything on Stuart Skinner given the mistakes that are happening in front of him?Changing gears, we then looked at the injuries that the Oilers are running up against all of a sudden. With Viktor Arvidsson still on the shelf despite being listed as day-to-day for the last week, Zach Hyman getting banged up, and Darnell Nurse still an unknown after the Ryan Reaves hit in Toronto, Edmonton now finds themselves with some pretty key players off the roster for the short term. We then looked at the rumour mill after a handful of names have been tied to the Oilers over the last couple of weeks and whether any of those players could be realistic trade targets. As much as it's fun to imagine another Ekholm-like trade, is it realistic to expect movement this early in the season when we still don't have clarity on Edmonton's cap situation?💻 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 game day for the Edmonton Oilers as they continue their eastern Canadian road trip, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio.The guys started the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a delicious debate about what is the most concerning aspect of the Oilers' struggles right now. Whether it's goaltending needing to improve, concerns about the defence, or the forwards being unable to score, the debate about what's actually the biggest problem was all over the map. Needless to say, the boys all had different opinions about what's the biggest problem right now, but at the same time, they all seem to connect somehow.Changing gears, we looked at the Oilers' defensive situation with Darnell Nurse on the shelf for 5-10 days after taking that brutal hit from Ryan Reaves. With Nurse out of the lineup, the defensive issues have gotten worse and it certainly doesn't help that Evan Bouchard is struggling mightily and directly responsible for so many mistakes over the last handful of games. No matter how you slice it, the defensive coverage has been an adventure lately and it's not all that surprising the boys focused on it for a healthy chunk of time. Finally, the squad wrapped up the Tuesday podcast with some betting talk, keys to victory for beating the Senators, and offered up a score prediction ahead of tonight's game at the Canadian Tire Centre. Given that the Oilers and Senators are both working through varying inconsistencies, their first of two meetings on the season could be prove to be a big one. That said, if the Oilers plan to win this one then they'll need a much better effort than what we got on Monday in Montreal.💻 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.

Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is ready to carry you through the weekend. This week, we discussed Connor McDavid's 1,000-point night, Darnell Nurse's big game, Jeff Skinner's struggles, and much more.The fellas kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about our favourite Connor McDavid moments and how Thursday's 1,000th point ranks among his current achievements. Whether it was the way he started his career with goal No. 1 against the Stars, hitting 100 assists in a season as he did last year or his first 60-goal season, there's little doubt that it was a special moment for everyone who's been along for the ride.Looking back at last night's 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators and how that victory gave the Oilers their first three-game win streak of the season. And even though everyone understandably wanted to talk about Connor McDavid's milestone night, some underrated storylines came out that the boys wanted to talk about. From how Calvin Pickard swept the season series against Nashville to Darnell Nurse's three-point night that still wasn't good enough for some people, last night's win was an exciting result. Finally, we wrapped the podcast up by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots that covered some Oilers talk and some nonsense mixed in there too. From there, the fellas dove into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days in terms of good and bad news. Needless to say, this week's episode had plenty of Connor McDavid talk mixed with a little bit of nonsense.💻 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 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. 💻 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.

Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is ready to carry you through the weekend. This week, we discussed Wednesday's loss to the Golden Knights, Evan Bouchard's rough start, Connor McDavid's early return to the lineup, and much more.We started the Friday episode of the podcast by discussing the Oilers' defensive pairings and whether it's time to change things up. Seeing as the Oilers had some very real struggles against the Golden Knights on Wednesday, it's fair to wonder if Knoblauch should try a different look or two with his defensive units.Changing gears, we looked at the new line combos the Oilers iced at practice. Mattias Janmark is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury, which means there could be a path for a player like Noah Philp to rejoin the big club after spending the week with the Condors. We also touched on Matthew Savoie blocking a shot down in Calgary and how the fear of him being out has seemingly been squashed since he ended up in the lineup the next night.Finally, we wrapped the podcast up by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots that covered some Oilers talk and some nonsense mixed in there as well. From there, the fellas dove into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days. Needless to say, this week's episode had plenty of hockey talk mixed with a little bit of nonsense.💻 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.
