To kick things off, the guys got the podcast started with a look at Tyler's vacation and how he had quite the adventure in his 10 days away from the office. From going to the wrong hotel in Vegas to making friends at the tables to playing top golf by himself, Yaremchuk had the best time down in the states even though he had to mix some actual work in from time to time that included speaking to Connor McDavid and Gary Bettman. Speaking of vacations, Jay offered more details about the Nation Vacation to Nashville and how it's going to be another weekend to remember for everyone that makes their way down. From there, the guys got to some Oilers talk as the team had a very busy end to their week as Ken Holland finally made the call to fire Dave Tippett and replace him with Jay Woodcroft. Lastly, the guys looked at the Oilers as the trade deadline approaches and offered up some ideas on what the team needs to get done.

Kick-off your week with a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown! Frank and Jason started off the podcast with some talk about the Super Bowl and Valentine's Day. There was also some talk about which one of them is going to cave to their families first and get a puppy.    From there they dug into some trade talk starting with the Colorado Avalanche, who are on a historic heater right now. Will they make a big splash? What are they looking for? Those are the questions they looked at. They also touched on one of the powerhouse teams in the Eastern Conference: the Carolina Hurricanes. Last deadline Don Waddell just missed on some deals and he could be hungry to make a big addition this year.   They also had an extended conversation about the values of depth players. There are some fascinating situations around the league and some players who some teams could view as their versions of Barclay Goodrow and Blake Coleman. Frank and Jason both shared some surprising names that could fetch first-round picks at the deadline.

Today on the show, Frank and Tyler hit on the Carey Price media availability, gave their thoughts on some mid-season awards, two new events that are coming to the NHL skills competition, and they welcomed in Peter Baugh from The Athletic to talk about the NHL' best team: The Colorado Avalanche.

Today on The DFO Rundown, Frank Seravalli and Jason Gregor dug into the biggest stories from around the NHL. The Flyers are struggling along right now and the two wondered about the future of GM Chuck Fletcher. They also hit on the vacant GM job in Anaheim before getting to some trade deadline chatter. They also gave some takes on potential award races now that we've hit the halfway point of the season. The Hart Trophy has a lot of potential winners and it will be fascinating to see how things play out in the back half of the year. They wrapped it up with some talk about the Winnipeg Jets, who will need to really turn it up in the second half. Could they sell off some assets at the deadline? They also dug into the COVID/taxi squad situation and Frank talked about having to teach his kids how to ski.

Tyler Yaremchuk also stopped by for a new edition of Fill in the Blank, delivered by Door Dash! They also welcomed in Hockey Hall of Famer Adam Oates. He had a tremendous playing career that spanned 19 years and saw him play with seven different NHL teams. He talked to us about his time as a player, a Head Coach, and now as a skills coach. He works with a lot of the best players in the NHL and helps them take their games to the next level. He gave us some insight into how he helps players improve on things like board battles, faceoffs, and breakouts. He also gave his take on "The Michigan". https://www.oatessportsgroup.com/

It's Thursday afternoon and we're hitting you with a brand new episode of Oilersnation Radio to help you finish off what's left of your week with an hour of all things Edmonton Oilers. On today's show, we looked at Evander Kane signing with the Oilers, two comeback wins, and a whole lot more. To kick off this week's podcast, we jumped in with a look at the news everyone is talking about after word broke that the Oilers had come to an agreement with the winger after the NHL announced that he'd face no further discipline for the alleged COVID violations. Seeing as he was cleared from being suspended and could join the Oilers as early as this weekend, we wondered where Kane will fit in the lineup now that he's in the mix. Changing gears, we spent a little bit of time looking back on the two huge wins that happened this past week as the Oilers were able to complete comebacks against both Calgary and Vancouver. From there we spent a couple of minutes talking about tonight's matchup with the Nashville Predators and how we all feel like this is an important game for the Oilers to win as they continue working on building some confidence. Lastly, we wrapped up this week's podcast with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold performers to recap what was a very busy week here in Edmonton.

Start your week off with a brand new episode of The DFO Rundown with Jason Gregor and Frank Seravalli. To start things off, the two talked about the racist incident that occurred in the ECHL on Saturday night involving Jacob Panetta and Jordan Subban. From there, they hit on the NHL's iron man streak, which Keith Yandle could break tonight with game 965. It's currently held by Doug Jarvis and Frank interviewed him for a story on Daily Faceoff earlier this week. Also, what's the latest on the Flyers (will they move Claude Giroux?) and a new edition of Buy or Sell with Tyler Yaremchuk. After that, Gregor had a chance to chat with Team USA Women's Hockey Head Coach Joel Johnson. They talked about the rivalry with Team Canada, what their roster looks like heading into the Beijing Games, and the Olympic experience. Joel has a unique coaching history himself. He's not just a hockey coach and has led golf and soccer teams at the collegiate level. He talked about how he adapts, what lessons he carries over, and his coaching philosophies.

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. On today's podcast, the guys looked at the NFL playoffs, the Battle of Alberta, the Metaverse, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a look at the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament that's kicking off this weekend and how everyone is incredibly excited to get on the ice. With that excitement out of the way, Baggedmilk turned the conversation towards yesterday's Bills playoff loss as everyone was wondering how he handled such a crushing defeat. Getting to some good news, the guys then covered Saturday's Battle of Alberta win and spoke at length about how much everyone surrounding the Oilers needed that win. Even with that win, the guys on the podcast wondered if the Oilers still need to add more meat to their lineup to make sure they're not getting pushed around at all. From there, the podcast turned back towards the Metaverse and chatted about whether or not the guys would be interested in participating in events that weren't "real" even though they felt like it. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a story about how Jay managed to get the Oilersnation Instagram account back after two years in the dark.

Today on the show, Mike and Tyler talked about the struggling Oilers, two juggernauts in each conference, the Flyers falling flat, and Chris Peters talked 2022 NHL Draft!

It's Friday afternoon and the gang is all here with a brand new episode of Oilersnation Radio to help you finish off what's left of your week with an hour of all things Edmonton Oilers. On today's show, we looked at the Oilers refusing to fire the coach, and a whole lot more. To kick things off, we jumped in with a delicious debate about how surprised we all are that the Oilers haven't made any changes behind the bench yet. Personally, I'm not at all surprised that Dave Tippett is still with the team regardless of the fact that he's lost his last 13 games, but that's more of a reflection on the organization than it is a reflection of my own desires. From there, we looked at the Oilers' goaltending situation and whether or not it's actually realistic that they're able to get anything done mid-season. Even if they can find a trade partner, is there any way to win a trade when you're dealing from a position of weakness? From there, we previewed the Battle of Alberta that's set for Saturday night and wondered if this is the exact matchup the Oilers need to get themselves fired up and ready to go. Over the last couple of seasons, the Battle of Alberta has been extra spicy and maybe getting into a game where emotions are running his is part of the solution? Lastly, we wrapped up this week's podcast with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold performers to recap what was a very busy week here in Edmonton.

On today's episode of the pod, Frank shared that he tested positive for COVID-19 this week and talked about just how hard the virus has hit him. Gregor shared some odd home remedies for how he gets over illness. From there, they got into the hockey talk starting with an update on the Evander Kane situation. Could he be an Oiler soon? The team in Edmonton could certainly use the help and more changes than just a Kane signing could be coming. They also hit on the new schedule and some of the decisions that the NHL made.  They also hit on the Montreal Canadiens and their rough season... will it lead to Shane Wright? After a little bit of draft talk, they brought in Tyler Yaremchuk for Fill in The Blank presented by Door Dash.

There was a lot to get to today on The Daily Faceoff Show! The Canadiens have found their next GM, the NHL is changing their COVID protocols, and there was plenty of big stories from last night's slate of games! Tyler and Mike dissected it all!

Today on the show, Frank and Tyler looked at the two sides of yesterday's game between the Capitals and Canucks before talking about the struggling Oilers. They also welcomed in George Richards from Florida Hockey Now to discuss the dynamic Panthers offense. The inbox question today was centred around John Klingberg.

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. Today, the guys looked at the Oilers' continuous struggles, provided a Chicago Mix update, and a whole lot more. To kick off the episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a look at Saturday night's loss to the Ottawa Senators and how it was such a deflating loss, especially after carrying a two-goal lead into the third period. No matter how you slice it, everything that could go wrong has gone wrong lately, and with a very tough schedule coming up, the guys are trying to figure out what comes next. Needless to say, the vibes around here are anything but positive right now. Getting away from the Oilers, the guys dove into their Wordle strategies as the daily word game continues to take over the Internet right now. Is everyone playing? Do the guys have strategies? From there, the guys dove into a conversation from last Thursday's podcast about Chicago Mix after Real Life listener, Electronic Jordan, went to Costco and provided the kind of research that was desperately needed. As you'll hear, Electronic Jordan put in the work on this assignment and the results were truly incredible. Back to sports, the boys looked at a very busy NFL weekend as the playoffs kicked off and the bets were flying. Lastly, the guys wrapped up this week's podcast with a look ahead at the Winter Olympics as everyone on the podcast is looking for something to get excited about after a very tough month of Oilers fandom has started to drag them down.

It was the Connor McDavid episode of The DFO Rundown and it was fitting considering what happened in Edmonton over the weekend. The Oilers blew a 3-1 lead to the Senators and things are getting out of hand in Alberta's capital city. Jason and Frank talked about that off the top and Tyler Yaremchuk had a new round of Buy or Sell. They then welcomed in former NHLer Glenn Healy to talk about an exciting new partnership between our friends at Pointsbet Canada and the NHL Alumni Association! He also shared some great stories from his legendary NHL career!

A new episode of The DFO Rundown is here. Jason and Frank started off the show by talking about just how odd the lack of a playoff race in the Eastern Conference is. Gregor had some numbers to show how unique the gap is between the haves and the have nots. They also hit on the Evander Kane situation and what kind of suspension he could face. The All-Star Game rosters got announced yesterday as well, so that was a topic of conversation, even if Frank doesn't love it. Tyler Yaremchuk also popped in for a new round of Buy or Sell! They also welcomed in Tyler Smith, one of the surviving member of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash, who talked about his journey and some mental health initiatives that he's started.

Today's show started with some talk about Karel Vejmelka and his amazing performance last night in the Coyotes win over the Maple Leafs. From there, Frank and Mike hit on the Rocket Richard race, Bowen Byram, and the return of Tuuka Rask! Frank also had new info on Evander Kane in Ice Breakers!

Today on the show, Frank and Mike started things off by talking about the Boston Bruins dominant win last night and what's allowed the team to get on a hot streak. From there, they hit on the Eastern Conference playoff race, the Canucks vs Panthers game tonight, and Mike took an in-depth look at some goaltending tandems from around the NHL. They also touched on Evander Kane's future.

Today on the show, Frank was joined by Ryan S. Clark for his show debut! The duo dug into the Evander Kane story, John Klingberg's comments, Fleury's return to Las Vegas, and the new HDA initiative. They were also joined by Sheng Peng from San Jose Hockey Now to discuss the Sharks!

Another week and another episode of The DFO Rundown is here! To start things off today, Jason and Frank talked about the Evander Kane situation. The NHLPA is going to file a grievance and Frank shared why that could be a risk for the PA. They also gave their take on whether or not Kane will be back in the NHL this season. They also brought in Tyler Yaremchuk for 'Buy or Sell' before getting to Trevor Daley who talked about his appearance in the ECHL this past weekend, the big announcement from the Hockey Diversity Alliance, where he's hoping they can take things in the near future, and also his personal future in the management side of the game.

It's Friday afternoon and we're here with a brand new episode of Oilersnation Radio to help you finish what's left of your week with an hour of all things Edmonton Oilers. On today's show, we looked at the Oilers' losing streak, what needs to change, game postponements, and a whole lot more. To kick off this week's podcast, we got started with a look at the Edmonton Oilers' latest struggles and how desperate they should be to make some changes. For a large segment of the fanbase, firing the head coach seems like the first thing that needs to be done but what about a trade? I asked the guys whether or not they think Holland should be pushing to make a trade right now even though teams aren't necessarily making moves right now. We also looked at the current losing streak and how that must be affecting the team mentally. Needless to say, the Oilers are gripping the stick so tightly that they're passing up chances to shoot in favour of a prettier play instead of getting greasy in the crease and looking for garbage goals. For all of us on the podcast, what was most obvious is that the Oilers are not as bad as they're playing right now but how they pull themselves out of this slump remains to be seen. Lastly, we wrapped up this week's podcast with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold performers to recap what was a very busy week here in Edmonton.

Today on the show, Frank was joined by Scott Burnside! The duo talked about the Avalanche's strong play, the slipping Calgary Flames, the idea of the Jets playing in Saskatoon, and the Calder Trophy watch! Jeremy Rutherford from The Athletic in St. Louis also stopped by to chat about the Blues!

Frank and Jason are here to bring you into the weekend with another episode of The DFO Rundown! To start the show today, they talked about the rumblings that the Winnipeg Jets could be playing some games in Saskatoon so that fans could attend. From there, they hit on an dominant win by the Colorado Avalanche, a few players who could be traded by Montreal, the Oilers struggles, the Penguins hot-streak, and Tyler Yaremchuk joined in for "Fill in the Blank"!

Today on the show, Frank and Tyler talked about the red-hot Pittsburgh Penguins, the Vezina Trophy race, and Frank debuted his latest trade targets list. They also brought in rules analyst Tim Peel to talk about goalie interference before getting to the Tuuka Rask signing.

Frank and Mike discuss Cale Makar's nasty overtime winner, the Norris Trophy race, how the Predators have found success this season, and Mikko Koskinen's recent comments. Mike also goes in-depth on a trio of goaltender with "The Blue Paint".

Today on the show, Frank and Tyler took a look at the lone game in the NHL last night and talked about the state of the Oilers and Rangers. They also gave their top five Stanley Cup Contenders and their Hart Trophy ballots. Frank had some insider info in another edition of Ice Breakers as well!

They also hit on the struggling Edmonton Oilers, the Eastern Conference playoff picture, the Golden Knights cap situation, and how the NHL will handle their schedule going forward. From there, they brought in Tyler Yaremchuk for 'Buy or Sell' and then they hit on the future of the World Juniors.

A new episode of The Real Life Podcast is here! Today on the show, the gang kicked things off by getting into a really deep discussion about the dreams they've been having recently, how often they remember their dreams, and what they could mean. It was definitely a weird way to start the pod. After that, Chalmers shared a new TV series that he's been hooked too and then finally, the group dug into the struggling Edmonton Oilers. Jay and Yaremchuk are FED UP with the way the team has been playing. They show little heart, their effort is inconsistent, and the results don't look like they're going to get better. Jay wants changes NOW! They also gave our their Trades Link hardest worker of the week award. To wrap things up, they looked back at 2021 and shared some of the favourite podcast memories that listeners shared over the last few days. They also looked ahead to a great memory that they're looking forward to making in early 2022 with Tourism Jasper! All of that and more in episode 342 of The Real Life Podcast! ENJOY!

We are back! For the first time in 2022, we have a fresh episode of The Daily Faceoff Show! Frank and Mike started the show off by talking about the Winter Classic before getting into the Oilers and Chris Peters stopped by to talk World Juniors!

It's Thursday afternoon and we're coming at you with an early episode of Oilersnation Radio to help you finish get through your week with an hour of all things Edmonton Oilers. On this week's show, we looked at the Oilers' loss to St. Louis, the WJC cancellation, and a whole lot more. To kick off this week's podcast, we got started with a look at Oilers New Years' resolutions that we'd like to see the team carry into 2022. Whether it's shooting more, approaching the game with a pack mentality, shooting more, or anything in between, we offered our takes on what the Oilers should look to accomplish as we start a new year. From there, we look at last night's loss to the St. Louis Blues and how mistakes proved costly. Seeing as he made a couple of costly errors in his NHL debut, we also looked at Dmitri Samorukov's first game and whether or not it was fair that he was benched for the rest of the game after he was beaten twice for a pair of first period goals. That conversation led us into discussing Dave Tippett's future behind the bench and whether we're nearing the time when the team should be making a coaching change. Personally, I don't think we're all that close to having Tippett fired because that's not how Ken Holland rolls, but there is little doubt that the yearning for a new voice behind the bench is growing in Oil Country. Lastly, we wrapped up this week's podcast with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold performers to recap what was a very busy week here in Edmonton.

Another Thursday has landed on our calendars and the boys are back with a fresh Real Life Podcast to help you get into the Christmas break. Today, the boys talked about what happened on the Christmas break, the Oilers' return, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the podcast got started with a look at the Christmas break and what everyone got up to with a couple of well-deserved days off. From there, the guys looked back at the year 2021 and offered up some of the lessons they learned over the past 12 months and whether there were any positives to be pulled from what was another trying year. The guys also looked ahead at 2022 and offered up some New Years' resolutions for the Edmonton Oilers as work their way into a new calendar year. Sticking with the Oilers, the guys looked at what the team needs and whether or not there's any possibility of a trade happening in the coming weeks that sends a message to the squad that they need to be better. As the conversation progressed, however, it seemed like there isn't much hope among the boys that the current management group has the stones or the resources to pull off the moves that need to get done. Are the boys wrong? Only time will tell, but the Oilers are very quickly erasing all of the goodwill they built from themselves in the early portion of the season and that's a trend that desperately needs to change.

Happy Holidays! We hope you enjoyed the holiday break and we hope that you're ready for a brand new episode of the podcast! The holiday buzz around the sport was squished a little bit by the NHL's pause, which isn't ending as quickly as we thought it was. Frank and Jason talked about the impacts of the Omnicoron virus on the league and when things could get back to normal. They also brought in Tyler Yaremchuk for a new edition of Fill in the Blank before getting to Chris Peters, who gave us some fantastic insight into the early days of the World Junior Hockey Championships!

With 2021 coming to a close, we figured it would be a good time to take a look back at the first year of The DFO Rundown! Tyler Yaremchuk took over the show and played some of his favourite interviews from the past year. In part one of the show you'll hear from former Jets Head Coach Paul Maurice, who was the first-ever guest on the pod, as well as Bruce Boudreau, Bill Guerin, and Brad Larsen!

It's the final show of 2021! Frank and Mike started things off with an update on the COVID situation in the NHL before getting into some interesting division races, stocking stuffers for teams in the Pacific and the Atlantic, and they celebrated Festivus by airing their grievances! All that and more in a very holiday-themed episode of the show!

Another Thursday has landed on our calendars and the boys are back with a fresh Real Life Podcast to help you get into the Christmas break. Today, the boys were talking about Festivus grievances, the Jasper pond hockey tournament, betting on random Bowl games, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the podcast got started with a look at Festivus and that meant the boys had a chance to air their grievances and share their feats of strength. Seeing as COVID poked its ugly head into the Christmas season for the second straight year, there's no doubt that Omicron was high up on everyone's list of grievances. Seeing as the NHL may or may not actually be back for the 27th as planned, the lack of sports had some of the guys betting on games they wouldn't otherwise be interested in. The guys also talked about the Jasper pond hockey tournament that kicks off in late January and how the boys are pumped to get back into the tournament after a few years away. From there, the podcast fell off the rails a little bit as the guys discussed everything from stealing ice makers to holiday drinks and everything in between. 

Part two of our best of series is here! Tyler Yaremchuk takes you through three more of his favourite interviews from the past year. It starts with Frank and Jason chatting with HHOF goaltender Kim St. Pierre. It also includes their interviews with Cincinnati Cyclones Head Coach Jason Payne, AJ Galante of the Danbury Trashers, and Carolina Hurricanes GM Don Waddell!

Today on the show, Frank and Mike talked about the official Olympic announcement, what disappoints them the most about NHLers not going, they gave 'stocking stuffers' to a few NHL teams, and Chris Peters stopped by for a World Juniors preview!

It's Wednesday afternoon and we're coming at you with an early episode of Oilersnation Radio to help you finish get through your week with an hour of all things Edmonton Oilers. On this week's show, we looked at the NHL's shutdown, the Olympic dream dying, and a whole lot more. To kick off this week's podcast, we got started with a look at the Oilers' Christmas wishlist and specifically what we would give them if we had Santa's powers to make it happen. Whether it was depth scoring or goaltending or a COVID-free 2022, our list was as varied as you'd expect when it comes to needs for the Oilers and we hope to see some of those items checked off as we head into the new year. From there, we jumped into the NHL shutdown news and took a few guesses about how this situation is going to play out even when teams are expected to get back to work on December 27th. We also covered the news that the NHL would not be sending its players to China for the Olympics, which spawned a debate about whether or not the league should use this as an opportunity to bring back the World Cup of Hockey instead. Lastly, we wrapped up this week's podcast with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold performers to recap what was a very busy week here in Edmonton.

Today on the show, Frank and Mike talked about the official announcement regarding the NHL's season being paused, the final decision that is coming on the Olympics, and they got into some real hockey talk by previewing tonight's Vegas vs Tampa Bay game. Mike also dug into some undervalued players from around the league.
