Podcasts about Evander Kane

Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final unraveled early for the Oilers after a first-minute breakdown led to a Brad Marchand goal and spiralled into chaos, capped by a mercy pull for Stuart Skinner and a game full of penalties, missed assignments, and frustration. Evander Kane’s undisciplined play and a lack of composure across the roster derailed any chance at establishing a rhythm and the Panthers pounced on a discombobulated Edmonton team. Tensions boiled over late with line brawls and antics between benches—including Jake Walman’s water squirting and TNT's Brian Boucher catching stray splash damage. Florida, meanwhile, continues to show depth and composure, buoyed by standout performances from Sam Reinhart, Brad Marchand, and Sam Bennett, even as stars like Barkov and Tkachuk remain quiet offensively.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Hour 1 we were joined by Rod Pedersen of The Rod Pedersen Show and heard from Oilers forward Evander Kane. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

JR and Tim welcome Evander Kane to SNIPES & STRIPES. They discuss the upcoming Stanley Cup Final series against Florida. Evander talks about the team's experience from last year's final, their preparation, and the importance of getting off to a good start in the series. They also discuss the team's depth, including Jeff Skinner and Viktor Arvidsson, and how they can match up with Florida's physical play.

The Edmonton Oilers are heading back to the Stanley Cup Final! For the second straight season, they've eliminated the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Final—this time doing it in just five games. Game 5 was electric from the opening puck drop, with the Oilers exploding for two goals on their first two shots. The blitz forced Dallas head coach Pete DeBoer to burn his timeout and pull Jake Oettinger just minutes into the game. But the damage was already done.Connor McDavid led the way with another dominant performance, the powerplay continued to deliver, and despite a push from Dallas in the third to make it 4-3, it was Evander Kane who silenced the Stars with a massive insurance goal to seal it. Edmonton walks away with a 6-3 win and a trip back to the Stanley Cup Final—this time looking for redemption.We'll break down everything from last night with our scoring summary, One Big Take, Giant Question, and dive into some early storylines ahead of the Cup Final rematch between the Oilers and Panthers. We're also thrilled to welcome Jeff Marek, host of The Sheet, to help us break down the entire Western Conference Final series and preview what's shaping up to be an electric rematch in the Stanley Cup Final. Jeff will give us his thoughts on how the Oilers managed to take down the Stars in just five games, what's impressed him most about Edmonton's evolution this postseason, and what the Oilers will need to do differently against a relentless Florida Panthers squad looking for back-to-back championships.Plus, we're joined by former NHL defenseman Jason Demers to get his thoughts on Game 5, the Oilers' playoff run so far, and what they'll need to do to flip the script against Florida in the Final.Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

The Florida Panthers are headed to their third straight Stanley Cup Final after rallying past Carolina in Game 5, continuing the state of Florida's Eastern Conference dominance. Carter Verhaeghe scored the winner, showcasing the value of patience and great scouting. An awkward handshake moment between coaches Paul Maurice and Rod Brind’Amour sparked debate about who belongs in the post-series tradition. In the West, the Oilers prepare for Game 5 against Dallas with Mattias Ekholm expected to return from injury but Zach Hyman is likely out for the remainder of the playoffs. Evander Kane and Corey Perry could see increased icetime to try and offset the loss of Hyman as they have both impressed so far in these playoffs. 'Tis the season for Conn Smythe chatter, a year with no clear favourite emerging, but McDavid, Bouchard, Barkov, and Tkachuk are all in the mix. Could a goalie surprise?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On hour two of Flames Talk, Pat Steinberg and Logan Gordon look ahead to NHL free agency and why it might be a quieter summer than expected for the Calgary Flames. Despite having cap space, Pat explains why the team might steer away from smaller, depth signings like last year's additions of Mantha, Lomberg, and Bean—opting instead to leave room for young players like Kuznetsov, Brzustewicz, Parekh, and Suniev to compete for roster spots at camp. We also hear from Craig Conroy on the team's free agency mindset, including thoughts on smart additions and the pursuit of true impact players. Could names like Mitch Marner, Sam Bennett, or even Aaron Ekblad be on Calgary's radar?(27:21) Later, Tom Gazzola from Edmonton Sports Talk joins the show to break down the Oilers' 2-1 series lead on the Stars in the Western Conference Final. The guys dive into Edmonton's bounce-back after a rough Game 1, Stuart Skinner's return to form, what Mattias Ekholm's return could mean, and how Evander Kane continues to be a factor.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Media Inc. or any affiliate.  https://www.sportsnet.ca/960/flames-talk/

The Edmonton Oilers are staring down a massive opportunity tonight in Las Vegas. After dropping the Game 3 of this second-round series, the Oilers delivered one of their best performances of the season, and now have a 3-1 series lead heading into Game 5 at T-Mobile Arena. They're one win away from advancing to the Western Conference Final—and if their performance in Game 4 is any indication, they're trending in the right direction.Stuart Skinner silenced critics and delivered his best performance of the postseason in Game 4, stopping all 23 shots he faced to secure his second career playoff shutout. The Oilers' depth continues to shine, with Adam Henrique scoring twice and Evander Kane chipping in with another gritty goal. It was a statement night from Edmonton, and now they have a chance to finish off the Golden Knights in their own building. But Vegas won't go quietly—expect a desperate, physical response from a team fighting to keep its season alive.On today's episode of Oilersnation Everyday, we'll preview every angle of Game 5. We'll have our full lineup report, break down key game notes, deliver our Sherwood Ford Giant Question, give you our One Big Take, and check in with the Bet365 Gameday Betting Challenge. Can the Oilers replicate the effort and composure they showed in Game 4? And what kind of storm will they need to weather from Vegas early on?Later in the show, we'll be joined by Oilersnation writer Bruce Curlock to dig deeper into what's gone right for the Oilers in this series, how Stuart Skinner has responded under pressure, and whether or not he believes Edmonton will close out the series tonight—or if this thing is heading back to Rogers Place for a Game 6.Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is set to massage your ear feelings. On the Tuesday edition of the podcast, the guys discussed the Edmonton Oilers' stranglehold on the Golden Knights, Stuart Skinner's shutout, Kris Knoblauch's line combination changes, and more.The guys kicked off the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a delicious debate about the Oilers' goaltending, and whether we would go back to Calvin Pickard when he gets healthy again or if Stuart Skinner's shutout is enough to give No. 74 another chance at a run. While there's no doubt that Calvin Pickard was fantastic in the six games he played, you can't discount how solid Skinner was in Game 4. But the question is whether one game was enough to turn the crease back over to Stuart Skinner.Looking back at Game 4, we started the recap with a conversation about Evander Kane. The player has been exceptional since returning from injury, and being able to raise his level despite being out for 10 months is causing havoc for the Golden Knights. We also discussed Kris Knoblauch's lineup changes landing perfectly, as both Kasperi Kapanen and Troy Stecher made immediate impacts. Having both of those guys play as well as they did led to another secondary debate about whether they've done enough to stick in the lineup for Game 5. Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a run of betting talk for our friends at bet365, keys to close out the series, and offered a few reasons why everyone should believe the Oilers can get the job done at T-Mobile in Game 5. As you'll hear, the boys feel bullish about the Oilers' chances of getting the job done, but that'll only happen if they can bring the same effort that saw them close out their first-round matchup against Los Angeles.

The Edmonton Oilers take a 3-2 series lead after picking up a 3-1 win in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. The Oil played their best game in months, outshooting L.A. 46-22 with Mattias Janmark scoring the winner in the third period and nuge adding the empty netter for the victory.

It's the Wednesday after Game 5, which means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is ready to recap the Edmonton Oilers' miraculous comeback while also looking back at the week that was. On today's podcast, I recapped games 3-5, looked ahead at Game 6, what the Oilers need to do to close out the series, and much more.Isn't it amazing how many things can change in a week? When I recorded last Wednesday's episode, the Oilers had just spectacularly lost Game 1 and were about to drop Game 2 even worse somehow. The good news is that sports are the best reality show on earth, and watching our boys come roaring back with three straight wins is almost as good as it gets. I also touched on how great the other first round series have been, and how working through a playoff run can be tough on the body.Turning my full attention back to the Oilers, I started with a recap of games 3-5 and how the Oilers have gotten better with each passing period. That's not to say that they were perfect by any stretch, but Edmonton's ability to crank up their resiliency when it mattered most was an unstoppable force for Los Angeles. There's also the Calvin Pickard effect, as the team clearly enjoys playing in front of a guy who seems like the nicest man on earth. Then there's Evan Bouchard's four goals, Evander Kane's impact, and Leon Draisaitl tying Messier and Gretzky for one of the wildest playoff records ever.Finally, I wrapped up this week's episode of BLTN with a guest Righteous Sack Beating before wrapping up the podcast with a quality round of voicemails. The voicemail was alive this week, and the messages were very funny, as you could almost feel the rollercoaster of emotions that were going on. As always, finishing up the show with your opinions is my favourite part of the whole thing and something I always look forward to most.

The Edmonton Oilers are one win away from advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and we're breaking it all down on today's edition of Oilersnation Everyday!Last night's 3-1 win in Game 5 over the LA Kings was a statement. The Oilers came out flying with arguably their best start in months, outshooting the Kings 19-4 in the opening frame. While Darcy Kuemper stood tall early, the Oilers didn't let up. After going down 1-0, they answered quickly with a clutch goal from Evander Kane, then sealed it with a gritty third-period finish from Mattias Janmark to take the lead for good.Calvin Pickard continues to be the story of the series — he stopped 21 of 22 shots in another calm and confident performance, now boasting three straight wins in the Oilers' crease.Today, Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin will take you through the full scoring summary, highlight the key moments that shaped the night, and deliver their One Big Take from Game 5.

The Canadiens showed great resilience in a Game 3 home win, though injuries to both starting goalies could hurt Montreal more than Washington. Tom Wilson and Josh Anderson sparked chaos with a fight on the Caps bench, while the Oilers edged the Kings in a wild game with Cal Pickard in net.

Stuart Skinner had another difficult outing, giving up five goals on 28 shots before being pulled in the third period in favour of Calvin Pickard. While there were some positives—like the season debut of Evander Kane—it wasn't enough to flip the script in Game 2.We'll go through our scoring summary, hand out our one big take from the night, and ask our Sherwood Ford Giant Question: Who should start in net for Game 3 when the series shifts back to Edmonton?Later in the show, we'll be joined by Steve Peters, telestration producer for ESPN and a long-time NHL analyst, to break down the first two games of the series.

Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded, edited, and is set to massage your ear feelings. On this week's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' Game 1 loss, the special teams, penalty calls, and much more. The guys kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about Monday's loss to the Kings, and how it was incredibly frustrating to have the Oilers come back from being down 4-0 and lose before the game got to OT. Starting with the mess in their zone, the boys wondered why Edmonton seems to be a yard sale in their end when they were so good defensively in last year's run. The guys also discussed whether or not losing Game 1 has any effect on how confident everyone is about the Oilers' ability to still win the series.Changing gears, the boys discussed potential lineup adjustments for Game 2 if Evander Kane can return to the lineup for Game 2. As you'll hear, the boys have a few different names circled to get swapped out for Kane. What will be most interesting to see is what Kris Knoblauch thinks is the most significant need relative to who's coming out. Would Knoblauch sacrifice a penalty killer like Mattias Janmark or Connor Brown for Kane? What about a guy like Jeff Skinner, who was on the ice for three goals against? Either way, Finally, the boys wrapped up the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a random collection of topics from around the NHL, including Lou Lamoriello's departure in New York, the implosion happening in Vancouver, coaches getting fired, and much more. Despite the Oilers' loss in Los Angeles, the boys' spirits were still high and looking ahead to a much better effort in Game 2 on Wednesday. SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded, edited, and is set to massage your ear feelings. On this week's podcast, the guys discussed a potential Darnell Nurse suspension, Monday's loss to the L.A. Kings, and much more. The boys started the Tuesday podcast with a delicious debate about whether Darnell Nurse should and will be suspended after the incident with Quinton Byfield, which resulted in a crosscheck to the head. Depending on how you look at the situation, the NHL has different routes to discipline Darnell Nurse, and the debate revolved around whether or not he will be suspended. As you'll hear, everyone's opinion on the matter was all over the map.Changing gears, we looked back on Monday's loss to the Kings and how Philip Danault felt the Oilers were icing their B-squad and trying to hurt the opposing players. As much as Danault's comments weren't necessarily wrong, it was pretty funny that he didn't acknowledge the very real string of injuries Edmonton is working through. Even with McDavid saying the team isn't the 'walking wounded' this morning after practice, the reality is that the Oilers had nine regulars out of the lineup for Monday's game.Sticking with the game against Los Angeles, we also discussed Quinn Hutson's NHL debut and how it was a cool moment for a young man who signed an ELC only days before suiting up for the Oilers. Despite playing just over 14 minutes in his debut, the guys discussed Hutson's ceiling and whether or not this is a prospect worth following. We also wondered how Hutson ranks among the other prospects the Oilers have signed in the last few weeks, and if these scratch tickets can do enough to bolster the Oilers' thin depth chart. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with some predictions about where Evander Kane might play when he returns and playoff betting talk before winding down with some game expectations for Wednesday's season finale against the San Jose Sharks. As always, the first episode of Oilersnation Radio of the week is always a fun one to record, and it was exciting to finally be talking about the playoffs after what has been a slog of a regular season. SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

There's nothing quite like a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to wrap up your Friday, get you prepped for tonight's game, and keep you updated on all things Edmonton Oilers. This week, the fellas covered the Oilers' injury situation, Connor McDavid's return to the lineup, and much more.The boys started the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' injury situation, specifically which player's injury we're most concerned about heading into the playoffs. Whether it's Mattias Ekholm not playing much over the last month, Stuart Skinner only getting two more starts before the playoffs, or Evander Kane's return after missing the whole season, Tyler wanted to know which player being healthy is the most concerning.Looking back at the week, we started with Connor McDavid's return to the lineup on Wednesday against the St. Louis Blues and how the captain looked incredible after being on the shelf for eight games. With three points and more than a handful of flashes of brilliance, McDavid looked back to being himself, and it couldn't have come at a better time. We also spoke about Mattias Ekholm's return to the lineup, and we offered our take on what would be a good night for the Oilers' defender after so much time out with injury.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Friday episode of the podcast with another round of betting talk and Hot and Cold Performers to recap the last week of our lives. Whether it was talking about Connor McDavid's return, having players heat up at the right time, or the opportunity to keep winning games despite losing the team's two best players, there was plenty to discuss on the Friday episode of ONR.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Injuries, rest and returns are a league-wide overarching theme as the regular season winds down. Connor McDavid made a surprise return in the Oilers' win over St. Louis, notching three assists including a key play on the game-winner. Edmonton isn’t the same without McDavid and Draisaitl, and getting healthy ahead of the playoffs is crucial. The Leafs dropped a rough one to the Panthers Tuesday, then bounced back against Tampa Bay behind a Matthew Knies hat trick on Wednesday, leading to much discussion about which Florida team the Leafs matchup better against. In Minnesota, a wild 8–7 OT win over the Sharks featured big returns from Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek, and what was probably Marc-Andre Fleury’s final home start. Vegas is also eyeing full health with Pietrangelo and Hague recovering, but Hertl and Eichel’s absences are causing concern up front. Jason Strudwick joins to talk about getting up to game speed for players like Evander Kane and Gabe Landeskog, his concerns about the Oilers' goaltending and how Quinton Byfield could be a difference-maker in this year's playoffs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We back with another OU with Nick and Chase (Noah's off crying at the beauty of Canmore like the softie he is) and holy frig if 4 days of comedy on the road is not the best way to prep for a pod! Ol Nicky bad takes was on an all time heater but luckily Chase was ready to carry the podcast and it was very entertaining watching him dummy Nick for an hour and half! But just like the Oilers you can't play great every game and that's why you got teammates! Even though Nick was probably -5 we still escaped with a win and had some great chats about the Oilers play without the big dogs, the bottom 10 activating in their absence and even some March madness chats to close it out! As always like the pod on instagram and come see some comedy shows!

Edmonton Oilers Head Coach Kris Knoblauch joined OverDrive to discuss the headlines around the Oilers, the team's progression with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl's injuries, the timeline to return to the ice, the depth receiving a large opportunity, Evander Kane getting back in the lineup, the Stanley Cup Playoffs' perspective and the approach to the games and more.

Hear from one of the NHL's most trusted Insiders, Elliotte Friedman, who explains why he was just in town for a couple of days, what he thinks of the team and what it could look like in the playoffs with a healthy Trent Frederic and Evander Kane.

After last week's episode of darkness we had to bring the funny back and boy was this a giggle fest! Noah got too pickled up Sunday and spent the night in the drunk tank so we had to record without him (jk obv). We found our usual optimism and this podcast will refill your oilers excitement for weeks to come.  We are the team of destiny after all. If you want to listen to 2 idiots make each other laugh while talking about the greatest team on ice then indulge! Also come see me do comedy or somethin.

We finally got all 3 members back on the podcast to discuss what's been happening with our glorious Edmonton Oilers.  It turned into a battle of light versus darkness some may even say good versus evil.  Our resident pessimist Noah tried his best to highlight the Oilers goaltending woes, our trade deadline compared to some other teams in the west and generally prepare himself for the worst.  All the while the eternal optimists Nick and Chase tried to battle his darkness with silver lining takes and alternative reasons why we are not seeing near the level that this team is capable of.  It was probably the darkest OU episode we have ever done but we still managed to find a lot of light in said darkness and I think it made for a great episode!Remember to send the OU pod to the most mentally unhealthy Oilers fans in your life and come out and see some comedy shows or get some clubs re-gripped with Chase!

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.

TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston joined OverDrive to discuss the headlines around the NHL, the trade deadline outlook across the league, the Panthers trade for Seth Jones from the Blackhawks, Matthew Tkachuk landing on LTIR, Evander Kane's contract approach with the Oilers and more.

The guys discuss O-Dog looking to compete in the International Cat Competition in the CATstravaganza in Toronto.

Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast is recorded, edited, and ready to kick off your week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed slippery sidewalks in Edmonton, what the Oilers might do at the trade deadline, the weigh-in shenanigans, and much more.Chalmers kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a story about falling on the ice after the melt in Edmonton has resulted in some of the slipperiest sidewalks you can imagine. As it turns out, Chalmers isn't the only one to wipe out lately, as Baggedmilk revealed that he also took a spill this past week while walking his dog. Needless to say, reminding people to be careful out there when you're walking around.Turning the podcast to the Oilers, Tyler quizzed Chalmers on how much he's been paying attention to the news ahead of the NHL trade deadline. As you likely suspected, Chalmers hasn't really been paying attention all that much, but did hear about the recent Evander Kane news about wanting to come back to prove he's still got it. Given the Oilers' cap limitations, this latest Kane news isn't likely to be overly popular around these parts.Changing gears, Chalmers brought Tyler up to date with the Real Life weight loss challenge shenanigans, and how the boys still don't feel as though they should pay him considering his winning weight was not at a sanctioned weigh-in. With Jay on his way back from France as the podcast was recording, it will be fascinating to hear his side of the story and whether he think his win is legitimate.Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Monday podcast with an array of topics, including wallet innovation, getting ID'd at restaurants, men's league showers, and whether anyone cares about St. Patricks Day. As always, the boys were all over the map to close out the show, which was as predictable as it was unpredictable.
