Let's overreact to the Oilers' pre-season

We're back to two episodes of Oilersnation Radio per week, and unfortunately, that meant we had to spend the first episode of the week talking about the Oilers' disastrous start to the year. Even though going 0-3 isn't the worst thing to happen in the big picture, that doesn't mean anyone should be happy about how the Oilers have started.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about what has been the most challenging or disappointing aspect of the first three games. Whether it's the lack of scoring from the top six, the lack of overall execution, or the inability to get going to start the year, there are plenty of reasons to be disappointed in the Edmonton Oilers. However, only time will tell how long it takes the team to figure things out. Getting away from everything that's gone wrong, we looked at the news from the past week and walked through the ups and downs of the news wire. Starting with the Corey Perry no-goal from Sunday night, the fellas got into the call and how ridiculous it is that the NHL doesn't seem to have any standard regarding goaltender interference. From there, we dissected the new line combos that the Oilers iced this morning at practice. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with some keys to victory to ensure they snap their losing streak. Whether it's upping the urgency, respecting the blue lines, or getting production from their big guns, the boys had plenty ideas on how to snap the skid. With the armchair coaching out of the way, the guys offered up some score predictions for what they think will happen tonight against the Flyers. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

The Edmonton Oilers season began on Wednesday and it's safe to say it went terribly. After losing 6-0 to the Winnipeg Jets, the Oilersnation Radio gang (Tyler, Liam, Rick and Dan) took a look back at what went wrong for the Copper and Blue in that home opener. That then bled into today's delicious debate: What concerned you the most about that opening loss?From there, they chatted a little about the news that Raphael Lavoie was claimed by the Vegas Golden Knights. The Lavoie saga has gone on all week with the former second round pick going on waivers three times. The guys expressed their disappointment that yet another prospect goes at the door without much value coming back.It was time for Ask The Idiots which is a segment you can take part in by sending us your questions on X. They started with a couple of Oilers questions by then pivoted to more Thanksgiving themed submissions. Finally, it was time for Hot and Cold performers before the boys headed into the long weekend.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

We're back to two episodes of Oilersnation Radio per week, and we're kicking off the regular season schedule with our annual predictions episode to go over how we think the next six months will play out.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR by reviewing the news since Friday's episode. We started with Raphael Lavoie being claimed by the Vegas Golden Knights, who then put him back on waivers 24 hours later. This unique situation actually allows Edmonton to bring Lavoie back, provided that no one lower in the priority list also puts in a claim. The boys also walked through the salary cap implications of these moves, even though no one understood what was happening.Looking ahead at the 2024-25 season, the boys offered their boldest predictions for the upcoming campaign, and there's little doubt everyone is drinking the Kool-Aid. From predicting McDavid's point production to team totals to Stuart Skinner's workload between the pipes, the boys were all over the map with their numbers. For the most part, the guys were all on the same page with most of their predictions, which made the disagreements all the more enjoyable.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a round of betting talk ahead of tomorrow's season opener against the Jets. Given that the season is opening up at Rogers Place, the fellas are excited to put a couple of nickels down in the hopes of making a few dollars to kick off the year.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

There's nothing better than a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to guide you through the final hours of the work week with an hour of Oilers talk.The guys kicked off this week's episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not Noah Philp will be on the Oilers' opening night roster. With Derek Ryan listed as day-to-day, the door is open for Philp to slide into that 4C spot, but is that the right decision for night one? There's also an argument to be made about sending Philp to the Condors and letting him play big minutes in the AHL.Changing gears, we looked at the price of Oilers jerseys after a user on Reddit noted that you can buy a new jersey and spend an additional $10 to get their sponsor patch on the front. While the guys were talking about jersey prices, Tyler interrupted the conversation by chatting about a new post on Connor McDavid's Instagram account that implies he will be doing some kind of food play.Next up, the guys spent a few minutes looking at the Jeremy Swayman contract situation in Boston and wondered how/if that will impact future negotiations with Stuart Skinner here in Edmonton. Seeing as Swayman and Skinner are basically the same age, wouldn't a massive contract for the former in Boston lead to one for Stu here in Edmonton?Finally, we wrapped the podcast up by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots before diving into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days. With the pre-season kickoff just around the corner, the boys had plenty to talk about this week for the first time in forever. Needless to say, this week's episode probably had the most hockey talk that we've had in a while, and it feels good to know that the NHL is almost back for another season.Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnationSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!Powered by @bet365.

There's nothing better than a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to wrap up your week and guide you though the never ending pre-season with an hour of Oilers talk.We kicked off this week's episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not we should be freaking out anything pre-season related. Even though the results don't matter at this stage of the season, there is a small chunk of Oilers fans who are already concerned about the lack of success. Unexpectedly, talking about the pre-season led the guys to argue whether or not the team is actually better than they were last season. Changing gears, we walked through some of the biggest news stories coming out of training camp. From roster cuts to Friedman speculating that Evander Kane won't miss the entire season, there was plenty of news to talk about from this past week and the squad offered their takes on all of it. Even without much going on, the boys still found reasons to disagree and argue about what's been happening. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots before diving into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days. With the pre-season kickoff just around the corner, the boys had plenty to talk about this week for the first time in forever.

There's nothing better than a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to wrap up your week and guide you into the pre-season with an hour of Oilers talk mixed with a dose of shenanigans.We kicked off this week's podcast with a delicious debate about which prospect we were most excited about based on their pre-season results. Whether it was thinking Magnus Paajarvi would be the Answer to Rob Schremp making magic with his stick to thinking Anton Lander would be a future captain, the squad had all kinds of great answers about players they thought were going to be stars. That said, drinking the Kool-Aid on prospects is part of being a fan. Moving over to training camp, the Oilers kicked off their on-ice sessions earlier this week and that meant plenty of news came out on and off the ice. Most notably, Evander Kane revealed some of the injuries he's been dealing with all summer and what the plan is going forward. And with players like Kane banged up and on the shelf, the Oilers added some depth to their training camp roster with a pair of new PTOs in Mike Hoffman and Jasper Weatherby.Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots before diving into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been edited and is ready to massage your ear holes.We started this week's episode of Oilersnation Radio with a delicious debate about training camp and what we're predicting as the biggest surprise to come out of the warm-up period. Whether it's Vasily Podkolzin winning the Ty Rattie award, Josh Brown securing a spot on the opening day roster, or Travis Dermott securing a contract, the boys were tossing out their boldest takes on what we think will happen in the coming weeks. Changing gears, we looked at the news from this past week that both Evander Kane and Darnell Nurse will miss the start of training camp (and beyond) due to some injuries they're still working through. Even though we knew that Kane was likely to miss some time, finding out that Nurse will miss some time early is a significant blow to a d-corps that is not exactly the deepest. Sticking with the defence, we also said farewell to Markus Niemelainen after signing a deal to play in Berlin after spending the last six years in the Oilers organization. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots before diving into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days. Even with training camp just around the corner, the boys still managed to yammer on for over an hour about everything in the world of hockey despite nothing happening quite yet. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been edited and is ready to massage your ear holes. This week, we're discussing Johnny Gaudreau's loss, Leon Draisaitl's contract extension, and what moves might still come before the season starts.We started the podcast with a quick tribute to Johnny Gaudreau after the NHL star was tragically killed along with his brother Matthew last weekend as a result of an alleged drunk driving incident. No matter how you look at the story, the details get worse and even sadder the deeper you look. Changing gears, we got the Oilers talk going with a delicious debate about Leon Draisaitl's eight-year contract extension and whether or not it's too much money, as some other fanbases have suggested. As you'll hear, there is not one person on the podcast who believes Leon Draisaitl is overpaid and actually thinks he could end up as a bargain before the deal is over. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots before diving into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days. Even with all of the news that happened this past week, the boys still managed to yammer on for over an hour about everything in the world of hockey despite it only being late August.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

With Friday being the 7th annual Oilersnation Open, the guys got together to drop this week's episode of Oilersnation Radio a day early. As always, they kicked things off with their delicious debate, which today was focused on the reports that the Oilers could be looking at the trade market as a way to address the right side of their blueline. Do the guys think Stan Bowman will make a splash before the season starts? Is that even the right move to make? They debated it.From there, they started talking about some other potential options on the blueline, specifically Tony DeAngelo. Frank Seravalli is reporting that DeAngelo would love to be an Oiler and would be willing to play for cheap. He's only 28-years-old but he comes with some baggage. The group talked about whether or he's a player worth considering to help solidify the blueline. They also talked about the NHL Network's ranking of the top 20 defensemen in the league, which featured two Oilers!During Ask The Idiots, they spoke about some big what if moments from NHL history, the bottom-six pieces they're most excited to watch next season, and Dan had a question about a personal conundrum he's facing.They wrapped up the show with their Hot & Cold Performers of the week and gave their predictions for the Oilersnation Open!💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Mill Woods Golf Course: https://www.millwoodsgolfcourse.com/👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been edited and is ready to massage your ear holes. This week, we're talking about the Oilers' decision not to match the offer sheets, whether the defence is good enough, and what moves might still come before the season starts. We started the podcast with a delicious debate about the Oilers' decision to walk away from the offer sheets for Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg. Was it a good idea? Was it the best move they could have made? Should they have matched? As you'll hear, the boys were split on the team's decision. Needless to say, the boys weren't on the same page regarding the offer sheets.Next, the gang walked through the team's trades last weekend and whether those moves made anyone feel better about the team losing two quality prospects. As you'll hear, it's hard for the boys to get too excited about the trades when there's still plenty of fear of the unknown regarding what we have relative to what the team lost. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots before diving into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days. Even with all of the news that happened this past week, the boys still managed to yammer on for over an hour about everything in the world of hockey despite it only being late August. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Mill Woods Golf Course: https://www.millwoodsgolfcourse.com/👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
