Oilersnation Radio

It's Tuesday afternoon, and a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is set, edited, and ready to massage your earhole. On today's episode, we discussed Evan Bouchard's next contract, McDavid and Draisaitl's injury timelines, Jeff Skinner, and much more. We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about a neighbour in Dan's hood who keeps running his diesel truck for extended periods every day. As you'll hear, the neighbour is clearly trying to troll his neighbours with his vehicle, which led the guys to offer a range of solutions, from calling the bi-law officer to being much more petty than that. As a bonus delicious debate, Tyler wanted to know how the Jacob Chychrun extension in Washington will impact Evan Bouchard's upcoming negotiation. Needless to say, it's going to get expensive. Changing gears, we looked at the updated injury timelines for Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl and how the Oilers will be without their two stars for (at least) the next three games. Given that the Oilers have some winnable games — Dallas aside — over the next week, it's not the worst idea to give the team's two best players a little some extra time to get healthy. The good news, however, is that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has caught fire over the last week or so, and having the secondary scorers start to warm up certainly helps the decision. The tricky part of the situation is that the secondary scorers need to keep chipping in.Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about Connor McDavid's contract extension after a quote from Stan Bowman on Hockey Night in Canada had the fanbase buzzing. We also walked through some NHL and CFL futures in our betting segment for bet365 before wrapping up the podcast with a round of keys to victory ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Dallas Stars. 

It'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 discussed the Oilers losing Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, their loss to the Winnipeg Jets, and what comes next for the team.We kicked off the podcast with a delicious debate about what the Oilers will do with their line combinations with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl out of the lineup for the next three games. Needless to say, losing your two best players is a massive issue regardless of the team, and now it will be up to the rest of the roster to do what they can to fill the void. As you'll hear, the boys pulled out their best mental gymnastics to put some new line combos together based on the players who are currently available.Changing gears, we looked back at last night's loss to the Winnipeg Jets and how it was still a positive that the Oilers managed to grind out a point against a very good team under what were strange circumstances. While some Oilers fans are understandably upset about the loss, the boys on the podcast tried to reframe the result with a positive tone. We also discussed what was Jeff Skinner's best game as an Oiler, and how it was great to see him get some success in the top six. Finally, we wrapped up the episode with another round of betting talk, Ask the Idiots questions, and our Hot and Cold Performers. Even though the topics were all over the map, the conversation ended up getting a little bit spicier than you'd imagine from our usual Friday segments. 

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.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

The Edmonton Oilers suffered a painful loss at the hands of the Buffalo Sabres on Monday, which meant there was plenty to discuss on the first episode of Oilersnation Radio of the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the new Oilers, Monday's disappointing loss to Buffalo, and much more.The guys kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the pieces the Oilers picked up at the trade deadline and what positives we're seeing from our newest players. Starting with Jake Walman, everyone on the podcast is pretty excited about the first couple of games he's played and how he seems to have a range of skills that the team desperately needed. The guys also had good things to say about the way Max Jones has played in his first handful of games, especially the way he's throwing his body around pretty much every shift he's out there.Changing gears, we dug into Monday's loss against the Buffalo Sabres and how the result was as disappointing as it gets. Despite facing a bottom-feeder amid a six-game losing streak, the Oilers struggled to gain traction and ultimately fell by a single goal for a regulation loss. Whether you focused on the costly turnovers, the lack of secondary scoring, or the team's inability to get a save when they needed it, there are countless reasons for last night's loss. But no matter how you dissect the loss, there are countless issues that the team needs to correct immediately.Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a random collection of topics, including some betting talk regarding NFL free agency, what the Oilers need to improve to ensure this road trip is better than the last, Aaron Ekblad's PED suspension, and much more. Needless to say, the guys always have plenty to talk about when the Oilers are struggling the way they are. 

It'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.

We'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.

Friday 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 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.
