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 primed for a bounce back, expectations for Trent Frederic, another round of Ask the Idiots, line combinations, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about which Oilers player the fellas are most excited about as bets to bounce back or have a strong 2026-27 season. Whether it's Trent Frederic having a better year in Edmonton or Jason Dickinson doing what he can to improve the power play, the fellas had plenty of options for players who could have a larger impact on the roster. We also discussed a player like Josh Samanski taking a step forward this season even though many Oilers fans are already bullish on what he might do.Shifting gears, the guys turned the podcast to a discussion about Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl playing together on the first, and whether or not Stan Bowman's plan makes sense for the team as its currently built. Sticking with the lineup, the guys walked through the Oilers' injury woes and speculated on how those situations will play out, given how different each of these players are. The most notable injury, of course, would be to Matt Savoie, who will be expected to make a difference in the top six once he is back in the lineup.Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, discussed some NHL rumours, worked through another round of Ask the Idiots questions, and finally, Hot and Cold Performers. While this week's episode followed the same general format, the Friday episode of ONR was all over the map with the lack of Oilers news. Even so, the boys had a lot of fun working through a few hockey stories before having the podcast wind up in the ditch from there.

Slovenský hokejový obranca Marek Ďaloga patrí k najvýraznejším zjavom na našich klziskách, no po piatich úspešných sezónach v Českej republike sa definitívne vracia domov. Skúsený bek, ktorý si vybudoval výborné meno nielen v domácej extralige, ale aj v národnom tíme, prijal pozvanie do najnovšej epizódy obľúbeného podcastu Góly z bufetu.Moderátorská dvojica Marek Marušiak a Tomáš Prokop s ním rozobrala jeho bohatú kariéru, v ktorej nechýbajú úsmevné historky, tvrdá drina a spomienky na mimoriadne náročné chvíle na ľade. Pozrieť si tento diel znamená nahliadnuť do hlavy elitného športovca, ktorý si prešiel najťažšími ligami a napriek tomu si zachoval nadhľad a svojský humor.Rozhovor sa od úvodu nesie v uvoľnenej atmosfére, pričom Marek Ďaloga otvorene vysvetľuje svoje dôvody na návrat do materského klubu. Ako sám priznáva, koniec v Brne už vnútorne cítil a s rodinou sa zhodli na tom, že je čas ísť domov.Prestup do HKM Zvolen bol pre neho absolútnou prioritou, čo v rozhovore aj jasne potvrdil: „Zvolen bol suverénne číslo jedna... Nemohol som riešiť nič iné.“Diváci sa dozvedia aj o jeho hlbokom vzťahu ku Komete Brno, ktorú označil za svoj druhý domov a s ktorou sa mu podarilo získať vysnívaný majstrovský titul. Dnes je však pripravený prijať vo Zvolene novú rolu mentora, aby odovzdával skúsenosti a pomáhal mladším hokejistom rásť.Najväčším ťahákom epizódy sú však fascinujúce detaily o jeho extrémnej rýchlosti a netradičnom hernom štýle. Hoci je Marek Ďaloga primárne obranca, celú kariéru ho zdobí mimoriadne ofenzívne poňatie hry a jeho ikonický, vo vetre vejúci dres, ktorý s úsmevom glosoval aj reprezentačný tréner Craig Ramsay.Zaujímavosťou je, že tento ofenzívny bek strávil najviac rokov v českej extralige, ktorá je považovaná za vôbec najdefenzívnejšiu a najviac pretaktizovanú súťaž.Skutočnou lahôdkou pre hokejových fajnšmekrov je jeho spomienka na rýchlostné testy na klzisku s rozmermi NHL, kde dokonca prekonal čas famózneho Connora McDavida. S úsmevom na perách k tomu pridal priam neuveriteľnú historku: „A to som ešte trafil v druhej zákrute bránku, inak by som spravil kolo pod 13 sekúnd“.Okrem hokejových úspechov sa podcast ponára aj do intímnejších detailov jeho športového života, pričom odhaľuje špecifické rituály a náročný tréningový proces. Marek Ďaloga detailne opisuje svoju fyzickú prípravu, ktorá zahŕňa drepy so 150-kilovými činkami, bulharské drepy a neustálu prácu na nohách, z ktorých si jeho spoluhráči niekedy uťahujú, že sú krátke.Zveril sa aj so svojimi predzápasovými rituálmi, pri ktorých si úzkostlivo stráži presné poradie obliekania výstroja, pričom si vždy ako prvú obúva ľavú korčuľu, potom pravú a až následne si viaže šnúrky.Chýbať nebude ani vtipná spomienka na prípravný zápas proti Viedni Capitals, kde súper hral tak tvrdo a agresívne, že vtedajší tréner zúfalo žiadal svojho asistenta, aby zápas predčasne zrušil so slovami, že ich súperi „mastili ako žito“.

e still right in the middle of the off-season dead zone, but I've still got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready what little has happened anyway. On today's podcast, I discussed Connor McDavid's EA Sports ranking, the whining about it online, the Blue Jays being fun, and more. Needless to say, it's been a busy week around here.I kicked off this week's episode with a recap of the only thing we can talk about this summer: reality dating shows. Since there is basically nothing happening for the Oilers or around the NHL, I have all the time in the world to sit and watch the trashiest shows on TV because I'm an adult and no one can stop me. Less embarrassingly, I've also spent a bunch of time watching the Blue Jays try and force their way back into the playoff picture. And after the run they've had lately, it's basically impossible to not jump on that bandwagon again. Even if you've been watching the whole time, this team is playing a fun flavour of baseball right now.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a little bit of Elks talk before wrapping up the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was weird this week since I haven't done it in a while, but I still had a great time hearing everyone's thoughts on whatever it is that you wanted to talk about. The voicemail is the best way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week's episode.

“This Is So Stupid” + The $1.28 Million Celebrini Debate + Does Player Greatness Even Matter Anymore?

A hockey card just sold for $1.281 million, and the Sports Cards Live panel has some very different opinions about it. Chris McGill and Joshua Adams join Jeremy and Clark Kim just after the Macklin Celebrini Gold Outburst 1/1 Young Guns becomes one of the most expensive hockey cards ever sold. Chris sees a potentially defining trophy card of a young superstar whose collector now gets to follow his career while owning one of his very best cards. Josh has a slightly different reaction: “This is so stupid.” And that is where the fun begins. We compare Celebrini's sale with the biggest cards of Wayne Gretzky, Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin and other established hockey legends. Then we pose a fascinating question: for roughly the same $1.3 million, would you rather own the Celebrini 1/1 or the heavily restored T206 Honus Wagner that recently sold for almost exactly the same amount? But the conversation quickly becomes about something much larger than one hockey card. There appears to be a different level of wealth entering the hobby. Whatnot has raised hundreds of millions of dollars at a massive valuation. CardVault by Tom Brady is planning major expansion with a high-profile group of investors. And individual collectors with extraordinary financial resources can potentially pay prices that would have seemed impossible only a few years ago. So does Macklin Celebrini actually need to become Sidney Crosby for today's price to make sense? Does Cooper Flagg need to become LeBron James? Does Victor Wembanyama need to become one of the greatest players ever? Or has the hobby grown enough, and attracted enough new money, that the old rules for valuing cards and players are beginning to change?

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 non-Oilers the boys loved on teams they hated, the Elks' hot run, another round of Ask the Idiots, line combinations, and more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about other NHL teams and specifically if there were any players on those teams that the boys loved even if they hated the team they played for. Whether it was Miikka Kiprusoff in Calgary or Corey Perry in Anaheim or Rick Nash on those terrible Columbus teams, there were a bunch of players the boys spoke about despite not necessarily liking their team. That also led to a discussion about players they currently despise for their success against the team.Shifting gears, the guys continued on with a conversation about Prime Video taking over Wednesday night hockey and three playoff series for the next 12 years. Given that hockey fans will need to add another subscription to watch games this year, the boys discussed whether or not the NHL is doing anything properly when it comes to growing the game. They also discussed Connor McDavid's comments on the Oilers' three-goalie setup, and whether or not anyone believes that this can last for more than a month or two. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, discussed the Edmonton Elks' hot run in the CFL, worked through another round of Ask the Idiots questions, and finally, Hot and Cold Performers. While this week's episode followed the same general format, the Friday episode of ONR was all over the map with the lack of Oilers news. Even so, the boys had a lot of fun working through a few hockey stories before having the podcast wind up in the ditch from there.

Spring Cleaning – San Jose SharksThe San Jose Sharks took one of the NHL's biggest steps forward during the 2025-26 season, narrowly missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs after exceeding nearly every preseason expectation. Fueled by the emergence of superstar Macklin Celebrini and a growing collection of young talent, the Sharks became one of the league's most exciting offensive teams. Neil Smith and Vic Morren break down San Jose's rapid progress, the defensive issues that still need attention, and why General Manager Mike Grier may have one of the brightest futures in the NHL.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Sharks are eliminated on April 13 after making an unexpected push toward the playoffs. Neil and Vic revisit their preseason expectations, when both believed San Jose was still another year away from serious contention despite an active offseason by General Manager Mike Grier.[00:00:35] Macklin Celebrini emerges as the driving force behind the Sharks' remarkable improvement. The young superstar explodes from 63 points as a rookie to 115 points in his second NHL season while improving his plus-minus from minus-31 to plus-eight.[00:01:00] Will Smith continues his development with 58 points despite playing fewer games than the previous season. Michael Misa also shows tremendous promise, while Kiefer Sherwood earns a five-year contract extension after arriving from Vancouver.[00:01:20] Veterans Tyler Toffoli, William Eklund, and Alexander Wennberg provide stability alongside the Sharks' young core, helping San Jose become a far more competitive team throughout the season.[00:01:45] Neil admits no one could have predicted Celebrini's meteoric rise, which included becoming an important contributor for Team Canada at the Winter Olympics. His development dramatically accelerates San Jose's rebuild.[00:02:00] Additional young forwards Pavel Regenda, Igor Chernyshov, and Michael Misa each contribute offensively, giving the Sharks an even deeper pipeline of emerging talent expected to improve in the coming years.[00:02:20] Team-wide improvements are significant. San Jose finishes 34 points better in the standings, improves its goal differential from minus-105 to minus-41, and scores 41 more goals than it did the previous season.[00:02:50] While the offense flourishes, major defensive concerns remain. The Sharks improve their power play to the middle of the NHL rankings, but the goals-against average and penalty kill remain among the league's weakest.[00:03:20] Neil credits the offensive explosion almost entirely to Celebrini's impact while emphasizing that Ryan Warsofsky's next challenge is transforming the Sharks into a stronger defensive hockey club.[00:03:45] Looking ahead, Mike Grier enters the 2026 NHL Draft with eight selections, including two first-round picks—one acquired from Edmonton in the Jake Walman trade—and two fourth-round selections accumulated through previous deals.[00:04:30] The discussion reviews the complicated series of trades that reshaped San Jose's draft capital, illustrating how Grier has continued collecting assets while rebuilding the organization.[00:05:00] The Sharks project to have minimal cap space before the July 1 reset, largely because they absorbed Carey Price's contract from Montreal to help reach the NHL salary floor while acquiring additional assets in return.[00:05:30] Neil explains why rebuilding teams often take on long-term contracts from other organizations, using available cap space to collect draft picks and prospects while remaining compliant with league salary requirements.[00:06:00] Logan Couture's retirement, Marc-Edouard Vlasic's buyout, Martin Jones' buyout, and retained salary from the Erik Karlsson and Tomáš Hertl trades continue to affect San Jose's salary structure, though much of that financial picture improves after July 1.[00:06:45] A large portion of the Sharks' defense enters free agency. Ryan Reaves, Pavel Regenda, John Klingberg, Nick Leddy, Mario Ferraro, and Vincent Desharnais headline the unrestricted free agent class, making defense Mike Grier's top offseason priority.[00:07:20] Restricted free agents Colin Graf, Philipp Kurashev, Zack Ostapchuk, and defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin also require new contracts. Neil expects Mukhamadullin to continue developing into an important piece of San Jose's blue line.[00:07:50] Neil also looks ahead to the following offseason, when Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith become restricted free agents. Celebrini is expected to command a franchise-changing contract, with Smith likely following shortly afterward.[00:08:10] Comparing the pair to Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl in Edmonton, Neil believes Celebrini and Smith represent the foundation of San Jose's next era. With elite young talent already in place, the Sharks now turn their focus toward building a defense capable of supporting what could become one of the NHL's most dynamic teams.

Spring Cleaning – Edmonton OilersThe Edmonton Oilers entered the 2025-26 season with one objective: return to the Stanley Cup Final and finish the job after consecutive championship losses to the Florida Panthers. Instead, Edmonton endured an inconsistent season that ended with a first-round playoff exit at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks. Neil Smith and Vic Morren examine the roster decisions that left the Oilers without enough depth, the goaltending gamble that backfired, and the enormous offseason facing General Manager Stan Bowman as the organization works to convince Connor McDavid that another championship run remains within reach.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Oilers finish second in the Pacific Division before suffering a shocking first-round playoff elimination against Anaheim. Neil and Vic discuss why anything short of another Stanley Cup Final appearance was considered a disappointment after Edmonton's back-to-back championship appearances.[00:00:45] Edmonton's offseason departures—including Corey Perry, Evander Kane, and Connor Brown—leave the roster noticeably thinner. Combined with Zach Hyman missing the opening 19 games of the season, the Oilers struggle to replace valuable secondary scoring throughout the year.[00:01:30] The panel examines how the emotional and physical toll of consecutive Stanley Cup Final losses affected Edmonton's season. Despite another slow start that initially appeared familiar, the Oilers never found the momentum that had fueled previous playoff runs.[00:02:00] The conversation shifts to one of the season's most controversial moves as Stan Bowman trades Stuart Skinner to Pittsburgh for Tristan Jarry. Neil and Vic break down the disappointing results after Jarry struggles badly while Skinner performs better with the Penguins, making the trade one of the NHL's biggest disappointments.[00:03:30] Edmonton's increasing dependence on Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl becomes impossible to ignore. The panel reviews how nearly one-third of the club's offense comes from its two superstars while the number of secondary contributors continues to decline, placing enormous pressure on the league's best players.[00:05:00] Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' role is discussed as Neil describes him as an invaluable all-around player rather than an elite offensive producer. The conversation also highlights encouraging development from young forwards Matt Savoie and Vasily Podkolzin while acknowledging the continued lack of consistent secondary scoring.[00:07:00] Attention turns to Stan Bowman's difficult offseason. Questions surround head coach Kris Knoblauch's future, while Connor McDavid's contract extension becomes one of the biggest storylines facing the organization after both McDavid and Draisaitl publicly acknowledged the team took a step backward during the season.[00:09:00] The Oilers enter the offseason over the salary cap with only four selections in the 2026 NHL Draft after several aggressive trades. Neil and Vic review the organization's pending unrestricted free agents, including Adam Henrique, Jason Dickinson, Jack Roslovic, Kasperi Kapanen, Connor Murphy, and goaltender Connor Ingram.[00:11:00] The discussion centers on Edmonton's challenge of attracting quality free agents while uncertainty surrounds Connor McDavid's long-term future. Neil believes the opportunity to play alongside McDavid and Leon Draisaitl remains a major selling point despite questions about the organization's direction.[00:13:00] The episode concludes with a look ahead to 2026-27. Neil warns that unless Edmonton significantly improves its depth and solves its ongoing goaltending concerns, the Oilers risk taking another step backward despite employing two of the greatest players in the world.
