Oilers goaltending, and three games left before the 4 Nations Face-Off

It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the Edmonton Oilers' biggest stories. On this week's podcast, we discussed the Oilers' loss to Toronto, Kris Knoblauch's new line combos, NHL trade news, and much more.To kick off the first episode of ONR of the week, we started with a delicious debate about whether the Oilers have a goaltending problem and whether they should look at an upgrade between the pipes at the trade deadline. After a tough night for Stuart Skinner against Toronto on Saturday, the guys debated whether or not Stan Bowman should be looking elsewhere. While there was a lively debate about the topic, all of the guys still believed in Skinner but did agree that he needed to limit the highs and lows.Changing gears, we examined the Oilers' new line combos from yesterday's practice and asked everyone's opinion on whether this new trio would work. Before we even got through the first two lines, the conversation shifted to Viktor Arvidsson's lack of offence so far this season and whether that could result in him leaving town before his contract ends. We also discussed the first two games of John Klingberg and whether he's shown enough to make us look elsewhere for upgrades ahead of the trade deadline. We then ripped through all of the news that happened around here over the last week, including some trades that have happened around the NHL, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Tyler's new NHL Trade Rumour segment. If you're looking for a recap of some of the available names that that the Oilers could fish for at the trade deadline, Tyler has all the latest rumblings from around the NHL. With the deadline just over a month away, the silly szn rumours can only ramp up from here, and we'll make sure you're up to date. 💻 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 is recorded, edited, and ready to massage your eardrums. On this week's episode, the guys discussed Brendon Saad signing in Vegas,The boys kicked off the Friday episode of ONR by discussing Brendon Saad's signing with the Vegas Golden Knights. Given that there was some hope around Nation HQ that the Stan Bowman connection would lure Saad to Edmonton as a cheap free agent, it is slightly annoying that he wound up with a Pacific Division rival. As you'll hear, Rick didn't care that Saad ended up in Vegas, while Tyler and Liam made a case for how he would have fit in the Oilers' roster.Changing gears, we examined last night's 3-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings and how it was one of the more annoying losses we've seen recently. After a wonderful first period, the Oilers really duffed the second period with poor puck management, which allowed the Red Wings to get back in the game and fight their way to a win. We also looked at John Klingberg's Oilers debut and offered our first impressions on the Oilers' newest toy. Given that he hasn't played in over a calendar year, we all thought he played well in his first game and look forward to seeing how he progresses over the coming weeks. From there, we looked at the Oilers' quarter-century team for a total of 15 seconds, as no one on the podcast really cared about the rosters announced yesterday. If anything, the guys spent more time criticizing the Utah Hockey Club for ignoring their Coyotes and Jets history, while the current Jets included plenty of former Thrashers in their lineup. More importantly, Tyler walked everyone through the new cap numbers projected over the next three years and explained how this is fantastic news for the Edmonton Oilers. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of the podcast with a random collection of topics, including some prop bets for the Super Bowl, some Ask the Idiots questions from listeners, and Hot and Cold Performers to recap the best and worst moments from the past seven days. As always, the boys were all over the map with their answers, but that's the joy of opening up the end of the podcast for a little bit of shenanigans. 💻 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 boys are back with a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio as they sit down to talk about the biggest stories surrounding the Edmonton Oilers. To kick off the podcast today, the guys got into a pretty spirited debate about the way that Kris Knoblauch and his coaching staff have handled Jeff Skinner. The team is winning, so why complain is the argument that Rick put forward but Tyler and Liam think that they aren’t putting some players in spots to succeed.That led to some talk about how things have gone over the course of the three-game winning streak. The team is playing well and finding wins, but are they looking like a legit Stanley Cup contender? The boys talked about it.From there, they went around the league and talked about Logan Thompson’s extension in Washington and what that could mean for Stuart Skinner’s next contract. They also talked about the wild Mikko Rantanen rumour that was floated out earlier today.They then wrapped things up with some talk about Connor McDavid’s chances of getting back into the scoring race now that his suspension is up and what they want to see from the team on Thursday vs Detroit.Oilersnation Radio💻 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 is recorded, edited, and ready to massage your eardrums. Only this time, the boys checked in from the Jasper Park Lodge ahead of the 2025 Jasper Pond Hockey tournament. The guys started the Friday episode of ONR with a quick discussion about getting to Jasper with a handful of co-workers from across the continent and how everyone is so excited to get this year's tourney going. As you'll hear, the boys are brimming with excitement to be back at the JPL for the third consecutive year. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys dove into a recap of last night's 6-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks, and how that team looks completely broken. That led to the guys discussing how J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson were invisible in Thursday's matchup and how the Canucks are nearing a trade for one of those players, which could ultimately end their season. Changing gears, the guys spoke about the incredible game that Corey Perry had against Canucks, and how the veteran forward was able to live rent free in Vancouver all night long. From the way he pinned Quinn Hughes down to the ice and refused to engage with any of the Canucks' attempts to get him to drop the gloves. The result was a Vancouver implosion that was incredible to witness, and the boys wish that this was the version of the Worm we get down the stretch. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a quick rundown of what kind of content you'll get from everyone over the weekend as we work through the third annual Jasper Pond Hockey Tournament. They also welcomed Jonny Lazarus from DailyFaceoff.com to talk about his first impressions of Jasper since it's his first trip out to Alberta for the tourney.  Hosted on Acast.

It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the Edmonton Oilers' biggest stories. On this week's podcast, we discussed Connor McDavid's three-game suspension, Derek Ryan clearing waivers, Alex Ovechkin's goal record chase, and much more.We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Connor McDavid's three-game suspension and whether the NHL got it right. Given that the refs were responsible for the whole mess, many hockey fans were surprised that both players received matching suspensions. As you'll hear, no one is really upset with the DoPS for their decision but rather that the situation was allowed to boil over in the first place.Sticking with the McDavid suspension, we looked at some of the drawn penalty numbers that don't make much sense regarding what Connor has to deal with on a nightly basis. We also looked at players around the NHL speaking up about the incident and how no one seems to have a problem with McDavid reacting the way he did. That also brought around another round of debate about whether the Oilers have enough toughness with the lineup when these situations arise.With No. 97 out of the lineup for the next three games, Kris Knoblauch blended up his line combinations at Tuesday's practice and bumped a couple of players up in the roster. With guys potentially getting more opportunity, now would be the perfect time for some depth scoring to help raise the tides. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with the triumphant return of Dan's Game that revolved around Tuesday's opponent.💻 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 the Friday afternoon after a pair of huge Oilers comeback wins, which meant the boys had plenty to talk about on the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio. This week, the guys discussed the John Klingberg signing, Connor McDavid's goal heater, Noah Philp being recalled, and much more.We started the podcast with a delicious debate about John Klingberg signing a one-year deal with the Oilers this morning and how he fits into the Oilers' lineup. Given that he hasn't played in well over a year, we also wondered what's fair to expect from him as he works his way back into playing shape. We've seen plenty of examples of players missing time early in NHL seasons and taking plenty of time to get back up to speed.Changing gears, we looked at the two comeback wins over the Wild and Avalanche. Obviously, it's great that the Oilers could erase their early deficits and ultimately win the game. Still, it's undoubtedly a problem that they're giving up so many early goals, and they have got to clean up those details and mistakes. Another angle on the issue is: Are the Oilers having an issue with slow starts, or is there something to be said about the ridiculous travel schedule they've had lately?Looking at some of the individual performances that have happened over the last few games, and how some key players are coming up with clutch goals when we need them most. Given that we've always been gagging for secondary scoring, having the Oilers get goals from throughout their lineup is a blessing the team hasn't had in forever. Finally, the boys wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot that featured some Oilers questions about topics you never expected to hear. Needless to say, the boys were all over the map. As always, the fellas gave their best advice whether they were qualified or not. Last but not least, everyone gave their best and worst moments from the last week in another round of Hot and Cold Performers.💻 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 Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the Edmonton Oilers' biggest stories. On this week's podcast, we discussed the NHL playoff format, Monday's win over the Los Angeles Kings, and a whole lot more.We kicked off the Tuesday podcast with a delicious debate about the NHL playoff format and whether it's time for the league to revisit how the post-season is set up. With the current setup in place, the NHL clearly focuses on playoff rivalries more so than if everyone got re-seeded. Still, a conversation at Nation HQ made Baggedmilk wonder if it's time to re-visit the current format, which ultimately prompted the discussion.Returning to the Oilers, we looked back at last night's 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings and how it was one of Edmonton's best defensive outings of the season. Given that only one goal was scored all night, it was crucial to manage the puck carefully to avoid costly errors, and the guys discussed why the Oilers could do that successfully. We also discussed Connor McDavid scoring the game-winner on his 28th birthday and how an incredible second effort by Leon Draisaitl made the whole play possible.Sticking with the news from the past few days, we revisited Jeff Skinner being healthy scratched again and whether there's something to that lineup decision or if Kris Knoblauch went 11/7 to add some size to the lineup with Josh Brown. Given that Skinner was starting to play better, it was surprising for some Oilers fans to see him taking a spot in the press box again. We also looked at the rumour from Darren Dreger that the Oilers could be one of the teams interested in John Klingberg, who is reportedly nearing a return to the NHL.Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about another tough stretch in the Oilers' schedule that's coming up this week. The Oilers were able to handle the last difficult week of the schedule quite well the last time, but it will be much tougher to beat some of those teams for a second time. Either way, we gave our keys to victory regarding what the Oilers need to do to beat the Wild/Avalanche, and what habits they need to flex to make sure it's doable. Either way, the boys were feeling bullish.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365. Whatever the moment, it's Never Ordinary at bet365.

The Oilers suffered a tough loss last night in Pittsburgh, which meant there was plenty to discuss on the Friday episode of ONR. On today's podcast, the boys covered Evander Kane's surgery news, trade deadline rumours, Thursday's loss to the Penguins, and much more. We started the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Evander Kane undergoing another knee surgery. This will delay his rehab from former injuries and the timeline for his return to the lineup. While discussing the Kane situation, the boys became incredibly confused about the cap implications as none of them had a real idea of how this works. So, the question became whether the Oilers played this situation right or not. Did they screw up the whole situation?Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the boys covered a range of topics that have popped up over the last week. From trade rumours starting to pop up to wondering who Stan Bowman may chase at the deadline to reliving the Mattias Ekholm trade, the second segment of the Friday podcast was all over the map. Did the fellas solve anything? Not really. Did they argue about meaningless topics and moments? Absolutely yet. Finally, the boys wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot that featured some Oilers questions about topics you never expected to hear. Needless to say, the boys were all over the map. As always, the fellas gave their best advice whether they were qualified or not.

It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the biggest stories relating to the Edmonton Oilers. On this week's podcast, we discussed potential Oilers trade targets, Lauren Kyle opening a new bar in Edmonton, and much more. We kicked off the Tuesday podcast with a delicious debate about Frank Seravalli's new Trade Targets list, which dropped this morning at DailyFaceoff.com. We discussed whether there are any players listed that the Oilers should be interested in acquiring. Given that many Oilers fans would prefer that Stan Bowman acquire some defensive help is that the best approach to the deadline with few trade assets available? Are there any included forwards in Frank's list that would be worthy of exploring?From there, we dove into the past few days around Edmonton and recapped the Oilers' two big wins over the Anaheim Ducks and Seattle Kraken. Given that both teams are below them in the standings, it was interesting to see how much trouble the Ducks keep giving the Oilers even though our side ultimately won the rematch. Does it matter how the wins come if you're collecting two points? We also looked at other topics du jours, including Lauren Kyle's new business venture, Matt Savoie's recent AHL success, and a retirement announcement from an Oiler friend. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about tonight's game against the Boston Bruins. The Oilers were able to beat the Bruins in their first matchup of the season, but it will be much tougher if they're going to sweep the season series. Either way, we gave our keys to victory regarding what the Oilers need to do to beat the Bruins, and what habits they need to shed to make sure it's doable. Either way, the boys were feeling bullish. 💻 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 holiday season is behind us, which means it's time to get back to work with a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio. On this week's episode, we discussed Canada's failure at the World Juniors, new line combos at Oilers practice, and much more.Kicking off the Friday episode of ONR, the guys started with a delicious debate about Canada at the World Juniors and how they failed to make it past the quarter-finals for the second straight year. Was it a problem with roster construction? Was it the team's lack of discipline at key moments? Was there bad luck mixed in because no one on the team could score? Was the coaching staff to blame for the lack of accountability? Needless to say, there is plenty of blame to go around after another disappointing season.Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, we discussed the New Year's Eve win over Utah and how refreshing it was to see the Oilers rebound after a pair of tough losses in California. Not only was it an important game to avoid a three-game losing streak, but it was also crucial for the Oilers to put down a statement effort against a team they should probably beat more often than not. That led us to discuss the new line combinations from practice yesterday and whether we think Kris Knoblauch will stick with these new trios for any length of time.We then talked about the recent report that the Oilers will be looking to extend Ty Emberson before the season ends after losing a two young players last summer to offer sheets. Clearly the Oilers want to learn from their mistakes in how Holloway and Broberg were handled means losing young guys can't happen again. Given how Emberson has progressed through the first 35 games of the season, locking him up now makes a world of sense.Finally, the boys wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot that featured some Oilers New Year's questions. As always, the fellas gave their best advice whether they were qualified or not. Last but not least, everyone gave their best and worst moments from the last week in another round of Hot and Cold Performers.💻 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.
