Oilersnation Radio

It'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' inability to play a full 60 minutes, Calvin Pickard's spot in the lineup, the return of Zach Hyman, line combos, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' goaltending situation, and specifically, whether Calvin Pickard is going to be around as the backup for the rest of the year. While there's no doubt the skaters in front of the goalies need to be better, it's hard to argue that the goalies don't need to make more saves. Shifting gears, we looked at the Oilers' disappointing loss last night in Columbus despite a valiant attempt at a second straight comeback against the Blue Jackets. Unfortunately, the hole the Oilers dug was too deep and the push for the tie was too little too late. We also looked at the Oilers placing Troy Stecher on waivers in addition to sending Isaac Howard down to the Bakersfield Condors. Best move for the team? What about for the players?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 when the team is playing as poorly as they are right now.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!Powered by @bet365.

It'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 losing three of four games they should have won, goaltending rumours that are popping up, playing soft, line combos, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate over whether everyone would rather have a driver seven days a week or a personal chef three times a week. For the second delicious debate, Dan wanted to know what everyone thought about the new PWHL logos for the Seattle Torrent and Vancouver Goldeneyes. Shifting gears to the Edmonton Oilers, the guys started the discussion with a look at the Oilers' dreadful run of giving up multi-goal leads when it seemed they had wins in the bank. According to Jason Gregor, the Oilers lead the league in blowing multi-goal leads while also being unable to score in the shootout. To put it lightly, Edmonton is not playing up to its own standards, and it's incredibly frustrating to watch it piss away points that should have been tucked away.

It'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' inability to close games, Connor McDavid's 1100th NHL point, Evan Bouchard's struggles, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate over what has caused the Oilers' inconsistencies through the first 14 games of the year. Whether it's a lack of killer instinct, the inability to put in a full 60 minutes, or a lack of physicality, it's incredibly frustrating that a team this talented struggles to live up to the level everyone expects of them. Regardless of what frustrates you, there are plenty of issues happening with the Oilers right now that are completely fixable. Changing gears, we kept the breakdown going of Tuesday's loss against the St. Louis Blues. Starting with the defence making life more difficult than it needs to be with their lack of physicality in front of the net. Are the Oilers' defenders too soft when players are in their goalie's face? Changing gears, we looked at Jack Roslovic starting to settle into his role in the top-six, which prompted a conversation about whether the Oilers should look at an extension. 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 the last two weeks, you'll know that BM was way off on one of the questions, which prompted Liam to take on the role of trivia marshal 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.

It'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 losing three of four, 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 Evan Bouchard's rough night against New York, and whether anyone is worried about what was a miserable evening for No. 2. While there's no doubt that Bouchard didn't play well against the Rangers, being too concerned about him this early in the year probably doesn't make sense either. That said, he definitely needs to play better given the minutes he commands, and it will be interesting to see if he faces any supplementary discipline like Darnell Nurse did a couple nights before. Continuing with the breakdown of the last few games for Edmonton, the Oilers blew a two-goal lead against the Rangers on Thursday, which was incredibly disappointing and frustrating given how they had dominated the game early. In the span of just under four minutes, the Oilers went from being up by two goals to being in a tie game. Even with a late power play opportunity, the boys couldn't get the job done. To make matters worse, the comeback didn't happen because the Rangers were shooting the lights out, the loss happened because the Oilers cannot stop making 10-bell mistakes.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.

Dubey gave his thoughts on what the the start of the Oilers comeback win vs Kraken, What was Dubey's most valuable lesson learned in Edmonton , Who was his favourite player to go up against, is it tougher for a goalie to stop a breakaway or a shootout attempt, and if Devan had to choose any other sport to go pro in, which sport would it be?Don't forget to comment your questions for Devan Dubnyk to answer next week or use #AskDubey on social media!

It'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.

It'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.

It'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.

It'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.

It'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.

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.

It'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 Connor McDavid's extension, Jake Walman's seven-year deal, season predictions, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not popping the champagne for Connor McDavid's contract extension on Oilersnation Everyday was an acceptable reaction or not. For Rick, popping champagne was a little bit too much, even though a celebration for the event was absolutely merited. As for the real delicious debate, the boys discussed whether the Oilers got enough from the McDavid extension by only adding two more years to his deal. Changing gears, the guys walked through the big news announcements from yesterday, including the Connor McDavid extension, Jake Walman extension, and the Ryder and Lisa announcement. Needless to say, it was a very busy Monday around Nation HQ and a day no one will ever forget. Needless to say, the boys had plenty to say about the McDavid and Walman extensions, including a look at why the latter was worth such a massive extension in the first place. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with our season predictions ahead of the 2025-26 NHL season, including some goal totals, head-to-heads, and anything else we could think about ahead of Wednesday's start to the season.

From the way Alec Regula is potentially earning a spot despite low expectations heading into camp to Bowman trading for Connor Ingram to Noah Philp earning his spot, there are a handful of stories that popped up throughout the last few weeks that the boys may not have expected.Changing gears, we did a deeper dive on the Oilers' Connor Ingram trade and how it was a nice piece of work by Stan Bowman after so many people freaked out when the goalie passed through waivers. After clearing waivers, Stan Bowman turned around with a future considerations trade to land the goaltender at 40% retained from the Utah Mammoth, which added a valuable piece to the depth chart without having to pay anything to get it. The guys also discussed Kris Knoblauch signing a three-year extension with the Oilers, and how it is a well-deserved contract for one of the winningest coaches at this juncture in his NHL career.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 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' roster at training camp, line combos, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about which forwards could be on the outside looking in when the pre-season wraps in just under two weeks. Whether it's David Tomasek, Curtis Lazar, or Mattias Janmark, there aren't actually that many names to choose from when it comes to the tweeners. As you'll hear, the boys don't necessarily know who will be the odd man out, but what's clear is that everyone was thinking the same thing.Changing gears, the guys looked at the Vasily Podkolzin contract extension and whether it was a bold bet for the Oilers to make on a player who had eight goals. While the $2.95 million AAV may have been surprising to some parts of the fanbase, given that he showed limited offence in his first campaign in Edmonton. Is there more offence there? Is he just what he is? With four years left in Edmonton, including this final year of his current deal, we have a lot of time to find out. 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.

On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Kirill Kaprisov's contract situation in Minnesota, Mattias Ekholm wanting an extension, Oilers rookie camp, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the Kirill Kaprisov situation in Minnesota is affecting the Connor McDavid negotiations. According to reports, Kaprisov turned down a $16 million, eight-year contract, which led to speculation about whether this decision is delaying McDavid's extension signing in Edmonton. That conversation led to another round of the boys talking about whether they're starting to get nervous about the captain taking his time.Turning the podcast to tonight's rookie game between the Oilers and Flames, the guys walked through some of the prospects everyone is most excited to watch. While all eyes will be on Matt Savoie and Ike Howard, there are other prospects worth following throughout the weekend, as they work their way into professional hockey.

While everyone believes the team will have Stu in net to start the year, the boys were a little more split on whether he'll remain the team's starter when all is said and done. Following the experiment down the rabbit hole, Liam looked at the goaltenders who could be available via trade if Stan Bowman decides to go that route.Turning the podcast to the Connor McDavid contract situation, and whether or not anyone on the show is nervous about the Oilers' ability to get a deal done. While there is definitely some nerves given how long this extension is taking to get done, the boys still remain confident that Stan Bowman and Jeff Jackson will be able to follow through on their word. Of course, the longer this drags on without having McDavid's name on the dotted line, the louder the noise will grow around the situation.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 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 Connor McDavid's latest contract quotes, EA sports ratings, , and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Connor McDavid's quotes from yesterday, and how the hockey world is making a big deal about his quotes even though No. 97 didn't really say much. And while most people still think he's going to sign an extension with the Oilers, there are still plenty of hopeful Leafs fans who believe he's going to end up in Toronto. That said, the noise will undoubtedly continue until his name ends up on the dotted line. Changing gears, we looked at the limited Oilers news that's happened over the last week, including the new EA Sports ratings that dropped for the NHL 26 edition of the game that's set to launch in a few weeks. Starting with McDavid being the best-ranked player in the game for the second consecutive year, we examined whether he's properly rated at 97, given how significantly better he generally is than everyone else. We also discussed the other Oilers players and made some predictions about how they'll stack up.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 just over two months left until the start of the 2025-26 season, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode talking about an array of topics that were Oilers-related or not at all, but that's what happens in August.

Needless to say, the squad is hopeful about what the current roster will be able to do in 2025-26. Looking at the limited news that happened this past week, the guys discussed a new goaltending rumour that suggested Edmonton could be interested in one of Detroit's many goaltenders. We also discussed recent speculation from John Shannon that suggested Connor McDavid's contract extension could come in cheaper than some folks expect. Talking about McDavid's extension led the boys to wonder when No. 97's name will end up on a contract, and Baggedmilk has a horrible feeling it's going to come through when everyone is on the golf course for the Oilersnation Open.

While many slots on the roster are likely written in ink, we looked at the fourth line and wondered if either of Mattias Janmark or Kasperi Kapanen could get beat out for a job. With plenty of competition fighting for those jobs, it's fair to ask if any of the veterans are at risk of losing a spot.Changing gears, the guys walked through the little Oilers news that's happened over the last week, including some minor league signings in Bakersfield, Connor McDavid's extension, and Andrew Mangiapane's new baby. And while there isn't much happening right now, that didn't stop the boys from yammering on about these limited items anyway.

It was a mixed crew on Oilersnation Radio today, with three of the regular five taking a break ahead of the weekend. Cam and Kennedy joined Liam and Rick to break down everything that's happened with the Oilers over the past week — which, admittedly, hasn't been much.The show kicked off with a discussion about Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' legacy. Heading into the season, Nugent-Hopkins is on pace to play his 1,000th game as an Oiler. He also has a chance to finish top five in franchise history for points and could become the first player to start and finish his entire career in Edmonton. The question was posed: how should Nugent-Hopkins' legacy be defined?Over the weekend, three Oilers tied the knot, including star forward Leon Draisaitl. Kennedy recapped all the details from the South of France, including who was — and wasn't — in attendance. The crew also discussed the “friendmoon” Draisaitl and Connor McDavid are currently enjoying with their wives, and how that might factor into McDavid's future in Edmonton.The episode wrapped up with another round of Ask the Idiots, followed by the Hot and Cold Performers of the week.

On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Western Conference contenders, goaltending, the Jays' run, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Western Conference contenders and whether any of the teams with Stanley Cup dreams have gotten better. Outside of maybe the Vegas Golden Knights, who locked in Mitch Marner as their big free agent play, there aren't many other clubs you could say legitimately got better. Maybe that's the boys drinking the July Kool-Aid, but everyone on the podcast still feels bullish on Edmonton's chances to get through the west.Next, we kicked off the news segment of the podcast with a quick recap of the limited news items that had occurred over the last week and speculated on whether we would receive any new updates over the next handful of days or weeks.

The club signed a couple of players — Andrew Mangiapane and Curtis Lazar — but has yet to address goaltending or make any changes on the blue-line.

Free agency day means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and bring you up to date on everything going on with the Edmonton Oilers. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Evan Bouchard extension, the NHL Draft, Kasperi Kapanen, and much more.We kicked off the Monday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about where everyone is at with Evan Bouchard's four-year, $10.5m AAV contract, and whether it's not more of a problem that Bowman wasn't able to lock in the max term. We also discussed the Oilers re-signing both Kasperi Kapanen and Noah Philp before they were able to reach free agency, likely with the plan of having both of these players start on the opening day roster. Chances are, the Oilers are going to be tight for cap space when October rolls around, and they'll need cheaper deals on the books to fill holes in the roster.With plenty of time left to go until the deals slow down, the boys walked through some of our former friends who signed elsewhere on Tuesday, including Corey Perry's new deal in Los Angeles and Connor Brown's contract in New Jersey. While we all expected a quieter day in Edmonton given the team's lack of cap space, that doesn't make it any easier to see contributing roster players sign for big smoke in other markets. Regardless, the deals signed in the early hours on July 1st don't mean the Oilers are anywhere close to done, but that didn't stop many Oilers fans from being disappointed anyway.Regardless of what the Oilers have done or haven't done yet, there's little doubt that teams are spending big money on free agents with the salary cap expected to fly up over the next handful of years. In fact, one could make the argument that the Oilers could be better off avoiding some of these overpriced free agents, especially with the dollars that some mid-tier UFAs are signing on extended deals. Is that coping? Potentially yes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Naturally, we all have high hopes that Stan Bowman will be able to make some magic happen, but we all know that many of the hopes and dreams we all have for the franchise.
