Podcast appearances and mentions of Connor McDavid

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' loss to the Islanders, the end of Connor McDavid's point streak, Edmonton's goaltending dilemma, line combos, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' goaltending situation and tried to figure out how the team will solve it. Given that carrying three goaltenders is less than ideal, the organization will eventually have to make a decision. Given how well Ingram has played since being recalled, it seems completely unlikely that Connor Ingram will be the one to go, but it's clear that the organization still respects what Calvin Pickard has done in his time here. Shifting gears, the guys looked at last night's loss to the New York Islanders, and Ilya Sorokin absolutely robbed them of two points by standing on his head. Given how well New York's goalie played, it's almost impossible to be too upset about the result, but that didn't stop the boys from being slightly annoyed anyway. They also discussed Andrew Mangiapane being a healthy scratch again and looked at what it will take to get him either in the mix or out of the market. 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 that was. With the 2025-26 season now past the halfway mark, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that's the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

On today's episode of The Oil Stream, the fellas recap last night's tough loss for the Edmonton Oilers, a shutout defeat that also brought Connor McDavid's point streak to an end.   The boys will break down what went wrong, what can be taken away from the loss, and where the Oilers fell short. They'll also dive into the continued brilliance of Connor Ingram and discuss whether his recent play has earned him a spot in Edmonton for the rest of the season.   To wrap things up, the fellas look ahead to Saturday night as the Oilers hit the road to take on the struggling Vancouver Canucks.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' game-worn merch prices, Connor McDavid's point streak, Tristan Jarry's return to the lineup, the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament, and more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about why Jay still can't show up for the podcast even though he is back from Mexico and technically in the building. According to Chalmers' accounting, Jay has missed eight straight podcasts, and it sounds like Chalmers will not let him off the hook for these absences. Will he ever come back and make another appearance on the Real Life podcast?Changing gears, the conversation turned to the prices Tyler found on some Oilers game-worn merch that's listed on the team store. As you'll hear, the Price is Right game that Tyler put together for Baggedmilk and Chalmers went precisely as he expected, considering that the other two boys kept coming up way light on their guesses. Sticking with the Oilers, the boys discussed Connor McDavid's point streak and how this is a point in time where our captain is playing so well that Edmonton games are becoming appointment viewing.Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Tristan Jarry's return to the lineup, and what the Oilers will do with their goaltending going forward. They also discussed a few strategy points for the upcoming Jasper Pond Hockey tournament, and how the boys want to make some adjustments this year to give themselves the best chance to win.

It's been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I've got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today's podcast, I talked about Connor McDavid' heater, Tristan Jarry's return, Jake Walman, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the heaters that are happening throughout the Oilers' lineup right now, and while Connor McDavid is understandably getting all of the attention, there are a couple of other guys who are nearly as hot as the captain. From there, I offered the latest updates on Trent Frederic and Andrew Mangiapane after both guys returned to the lineup this past week, following some well-deserved time in the press box. Finally, I tried to figure out what to expect from Edmonton's goaltending situation after Tristan Jarry returned to the crease Tuesday night in Nashville.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about windrows, then closed out the podcast with another round of voicemails.

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 Connor McDavid's heater, Tristan Jarry and Jake Walman's return, Quinn Hutson's new contract, and much more.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about why the Oilers can't seem to win three games in a row, despite having eight chances to do so. While it's not a big deal because the team is winning more games than it loses, it is bizarre that the Oilers can't seem to string wins together. For an additional delicious debate, we looked at Edmonton's goaltending situation and took a few swings at when the three-headed monster situation will be resolved.Changing gears, we looked at last night's 4-1 win over Chicago and gave Connor Ingram the flowers he deserves for a fantastic performance between the pipes. Despite the scoreline ending as a three-goal Oilers win, the result would have been much different without Ingram's brilliance. We also discussed Connor McDavid's 19-game point streak and how this run has been so dominant that every other team is dying to find out how to stop him.Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk's Trivia. With Dan on vacation and none of the other boys coming up with anything, the guys went back to old faithful with a round of Predators-related questions. Did the quizmaster have to step in and get involved? Did Baggedmilk get his questions right? You'll have to listen to find out for sure. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ask Dubey episode 28 is here, and we're going deep into the mental side of being a pro athlete. Devan Dubnyk opens up about the real mental struggles of being an NHL goalie, how anxiety shows up in high-pressure moments, and what finally changed the way he approached the game between the ears.Dubnyk also weighs in on Connor McDavid's ridiculous post-Christmas heater and how the Edmonton Oilers have been playing since the break.In this episode of Ask Dubey, Devan breaks down:• The moment that completely changed how he approached the mental side of goaltending• How his mindset shifted after his time in Edmonton and how his game grew because of it• The reality of performance anxiety as a goalie and why it hits different in the crease• Practical ways players and goalies can deal with anxiety and pressure on and off the ice• Why mental preparation, routines, and self-talk matter just as much as physical training• His thoughts on Connor McDavid's major heater and the Oilers' play after the Christmas breakIf you're a goalie, a player, or just a fan who's curious about what's really going on behind the mask, this one's for you.Have a question you want Devan Dubnyk to answer on a future episode?

On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Tristan Jarry's injury, the Oilers' recall of Isaac Howard and Quinn Hutson, additional injury updates, line combos, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Connor McDavid's 17-game point streak and whether this is the best the boys have ever seen him play. Given that the captain has produced a mind-boggling 41 points over that stretch is absolutely ridiculous, but is this the best hockey he's ever played? There are a few options to choose from. Regardless of your thoughts, there is little doubt that No. 97 has gone supernova, and none of us wants him to walk away from the table.Shifting gears, the guys looked at Thursday's win over the Jets and how Winnipeg looked so shell-shocked as the game rolled along. Given that the Oilers were down 3-1 after 20 minutes and came roaring back to win, you have to appreciate the way the boys didn't fold their hand. And while some argue that they should beat the Jets because of how bad they are, expecting to win and fighting back from a 3-1 deficit are two different things.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 that was. With the 2025-26 season now past the halfway mark, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that's the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Christmas delays, sports rink advertising, the World Juniors, and more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Christmas delays and how long we're allowed to accept them as excuses. Tyler has been waiting for parts to fix his toilet, but the company he ordered them from keeps citing the holiday break as the reason he doesn't have them yet. Somehow, that led to a discussion about advertising at the arena and how times have changed so much in the last two decades.Changing gears, the conversation turned to Connor McDavid's brilliance, and how this 16-game heater he's on is making everyone else look like dopes. From the goals to the shots to the speed, everything is clicking for the captain right now, and there doesn't seem to be much the rest of the league can do about it. Sticking with hockey, the guys walked through Canada's performance at the World Juniors, and whether losing to Czechia for the third straight year should raise alarms with Hockey Canada. Are we losing because hockey is a rich-kid sport? Were the boys thinking about this too much?Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Nation staff spending habits, beefs of the week, Chalmers' New Year's Eve hot tub trouble, and whatever else came to mind.

It's been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I've got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today's podcast, I talked about Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' 500th assist, more Andrew Mangiapane trade rumours, healthy scratches, Connor McDavid's heater, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at Ryan Nugent-Hopkins reaching the 500 assist mark in Tuesday's game against the Nashville Predators. Nuge isn't the flashiest player on the roster with Connor and Leon ahead of him, but that didn't stop me from gushing about my guy for a few minutes as he inches closer to 1000 NHL games. I also looked at Kasperi Kapanen's comeback and how quickly he made an impact. From there, I had to touch on the frustration many of us felt yesterday when we saw that both Andrew Mangiapane and Trent Frederic were healthy scratches against the Preds. And the worst part? It didn't look like it mattered.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating, then closed out the podcast with another round of voicemails.

It's been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I've got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today's podcast, I talked about the Oilers year in review, Andrew Mangiapane trade rumours, Calvin Pickard, Connor McDavid's heater, and much more.I kicked off this week's episode with a look at the Andrew Mangiapane trade rumours that kicked off this past week. Given that we haven't even made it to the midway point of his first season as an Oiler, it's hard to understand why these UFA veterans keep going sideways once they land in Edmonton. Is it a role thing? Is it too hard to play with Connor or Leon? I also spent some time on Calvin Pickard's incredible showing against the Winnipeg Jets, and gave the Oilers' backup plenty of love for stepping up when the team needed him. Is our pal Cal doing enough to save his Oilers career?Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating, then closed out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was quiet again this week, but everyone's takes were still all over the map and very fun to listen to.

Welcome to the DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Mike Rupp!The Buffalo Sabres have a four-game winning streak, a new GM, and now sit five points out of a playoff spot with a game in hand. Rupper thinks a playoff push would be detrimental in Buffalo, while Gregor believes they have some good pieces and are better than their record suggests. Do they go the San Jose route and rebuild, or the Nashville route and re-tool with veterans? Can Jarmo Kekäläinen change the culture in Buffalo and get the Sabres back into the playoffs soon?Sitting third in points behind Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon, has Macklin Celebrini punched his ticket to Team Canada? He currently has San Jose in a playoff spot, and the guys believe he would be the Hart Trophy winner if the Sharks make the postseason this year. Can the second-year forward beat out the likes of McDavid and MacKinnon for the award?John Klingberg is enjoying a career resurgence with the Sharks this season. His mobility looks closer to his prime years, and his offensive game is starting to shine alongside San Jose's young core. A physical and mental reset has allowed Klingberg to flash the star form he once showed in Dallas.Connor McDavid's hot streak is in full steam ahead. The Oilers captain has 14 points in his last five games, and any rumblings that McDavid had fallen off have quickly faded. Once again, he's proving he's arguably the best player in the world.Rupper recounts his time in Pittsburgh, where Sidney Crosby was constantly striving to improve—even after winning the Stanley Cup. Taking more faceoffs, improving defensively, shooting more, and doing anything possible to become a more complete, big-moment player.Nathan MacKinnon continues his shooting barrage as he leads the league in shots on goal. McDavid has seen an uptick in shooting during his hot streak, and Celebrini is climbing the list as well. The guys examine some of the league's top volume shooters and a few surprise leaders in shooting percentage, including one of the biggest up-and-comers in the scoring race, Morgan Geekie.Edmonton's offense is starting to roll as they head into the Christmas break, with no more road games against Eastern Conference teams remaining. With Tristan Jarry injured, is there renewed concern in the Oilers' crease, and what will they do if he's out long-term?Pat joins the show for Fill in the Blank:The percent chance Alex Tuch stays in Buffalo is ___The Minnesota Wild are missing ___ to truly become a top contenderThe team to win the regular season in the East will be ___Olympic roster predictions are in from Rupper and Gregor, starting with Rupp's Team USA selections. Cole Caufield is out, while Brock Nelson makes the roster up front. Despite his season in Anaheim, Cutter Gauthier was never in consideration for Rupp. There are no changes on defense, and while Seth Jones was strongly considered, Rupp couldn't find a spot for him.With Connor Bedard injured, Gregor slots Brandon Hagel in as his replacement. Would Bo Horvat be on the roster if he weren't injured? Evan Bouchard's improved defensive play earns him a spot, while Thomas Harley drops off as he continues to struggle after returning from injury in Dallas. Jordan Binnington remains on Gregor's roster based on merit and his Four Nations performance—but could his poor NHL play push him off the team by February?Want to hear more from Jason and the entire DFO team?

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne are joined by NHL on Sportsnet host David Amber in-studio (0:26) to chat about general manager Bill Guerin turning the Minnesota Wild into a destination for NHL players with the bold move of trading for Quinn Hughes. Then, they discuss if Connor McDavid can surpass Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux in points per game in the regular season, whether Connor Bedard's injury could impact his spot on Team Canada, who would round out the Olympic roster, and the state of the Canadian NHL teams before the holiday break. Later, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee look at the St. Louis Blues roster and landing spots for some of their players, if Jordan Binnington can earn another big contract, and the Pittsburgh Penguins selling the franchise to the Hoffmann family. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Post-Gazette Penguins insider Jason Mackey and King Jemison recap the Penguins' horrific homestand and look at where the team goes from here. Does this recent run of bad play change the outlook on the season? What was the worst moment? Which blown lead was most improbable? Will those dropped points come back to bite the team in the race for the Stanley Cup Playoffs? Jason and King also take a look at the Penguins' new goalie rotation. Who should get the majority of the starts? What's the plan for Stuart Skinner, who lost his first start Tuesday night against Tristan Jarry, Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers? Is Arturs Silovs ready to shoulder more responsibility? And what about rookie Sergei Murashov? Our duo answers those questions, plus talks about Sidney Crosby approaching Mario Lemieux's all-time points record. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A rough Monday night raised player-safety and Olympic concerns, starting with Brandon Hagel’s injury from a forearm to the head by Seth Jones—a play that drew no supplemental discipline, frustrating Tampa Bay and leaving Ray concerned about the message it sends and future tensions. In Dallas, Team Canada hopeful Darcy Kuemper exited after being clipped by Mikko Rantanen in what most saw as a hockey play with an unfortunate result. Vancouver stunned the league by trading Quinn Hughes to Minnesota in a rare in-season blockbuster, choosing the youngest package—effectively four first-round assets—signalling a clear youth-driven re-tool and prompting a subtle jab from Hughes toward New Jersey. Edmonton also made waves, moving Stuart Skinner and Brett Kulak to Pittsburgh for Tristan Jarry, change for change sake perhaps, as Ray doesn't feel this provides real stability in goal, though Jarry has improved since time in the minors. Finally, Toronto remains a puzzle: sloppy play and an inability to handle pace—exposed again against an all-world Connor McDavid—highlight the Leafs’ need for a scoring winger amid tight cap constraints and asset management.

The Quinn Hughes saga is over, and once again he is not joining the Detroit Red Wings. On a happier note, we open by recapping Detroit's last two games of their road trip, including a tough loss to an unreal Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers (including Simon Edvinsson scoring after suiting up unexpectedly) (5:20), before jumping into the Red Wings and their dominant win over the Connor Bedard-less Chicago Blackhawks, including Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat putting on a show, Emmitt Finnie benefitting from Axel Sandin-Pellikka's offensive moves, another John Gibson shutout, and lots more (8:45). After that, a discussion on DeBrincat's star season as he's been on fire alongside "Showtime" Patrick Kane and Andrew Copp, providing strong scoring support behind Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond on the 1st line, as well as John Gibson's recent strong streak over the past 5 games, what it could mean for the Detroit Red Wings and their playoff chances, the upcoming month of December, & plenty more (15:50). Next, Quinn Hughes being traded to the Minnesota wild for Marco Rossi, Liam Ohgren, a 2026 1st round pick, and Zeev Buium: our analysis on the deal, the risk Bill Guerin is taking, how Jim Rutherford did compared to expectations, Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings missing out on adding Quinn Hughes to Moritz Seider's side, what the equivalent deal may have been, and whether it would've been worth giving up Simon Edvinsson, Nate Danielson or Marco Kasper, Carter Bear, and maybe more in the trade (28:15). Finally, our thoughts on the Skinner for Jarry trade in Edmonton, and how this affects McDavid & Draisaitl's Cup chances (57:25).
