Oil Rig Radio: Hockey This Fortnight

Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall, and Megan Fowler as they talk (a lot) about the Oilers 9-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, how the Penguins are beating expectations, why Team Canada's Olympic jerseys are garbage (except that they make Crosby's grey hairs pop), how wild it is that two MLB pitchers threw away their entire careers for $12000, and what rule change (in any sport) they'd like to see reversed.

Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they talk about the two most recent stinkers the Oilers played, discuss the problems of a McDrai combo, take a trip around the league, and (of course) get a mention of Sidney Crosby in there.

Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler for the first episode of the 2025-26 NHL season. We talk about Jake Walman, Connor McDavid, the Montreal Canadiens, the San Jose Sharks and, of course, Sidney Crosby.

Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they talk their way around Canada's demise at the WJHC, try to figure out what (if anything) the Oilers need to do to get better, what's going on with the Canucks, and whether or not Ovechkin is the best goal scorer ever.

So...... this is late because *someone* forgot to publish it. We recorded on December 15, so everything is out of date. We are recording today too, so that one will be current.

Join hosts Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they talk about the Oilers' depth scoring woes (it's bad, friends. Real bad.), discuss the goaltending issues, figure out why they like Podkolzin so much, and discuss how to find a puck mover (where a very familiar name pops up). Steven's Highly Personal Question isn't controversial, but it's a good one.

Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they take a look at the Oilers early problems (scoring, special teams, goaltending) and propose solutions (Dante Fabbro?), take a trip around the league for the good (Crosby and Ovechkin having resurgences somehow, the Jets) and the bad (the Penguins, Jennifer Botterill's haters), ad decide which fictional worlds they'd inhabit if possible. Avry also said something mean, so stay tuned for that!

Join Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler (and the ghost of Steven Darnell) for a belated preseason prediction episode. We talk about why the Oilers are off to such a slow start and how their cap situation won't make that better, what might happen elsewhere in the league as the season progresses, how the Bruins really misread the Swayman situation, and whether or not Ottawa is a playoff team.

Join Steven, Avry and Megan for the last offseason episode of 2024, as they take a look at the Broberg and Holloway offer sheets, Draisaitl's contract extension, a quick look around the league and decide which social norms must be followed for fear of capital punishment.

Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler for a brief look at what's gone on since the draft. There hasn't been a lot, but at the same time there's been a LOT. Plus, Steven gave Megan some homework for the next episode, so there's that.
