    Connor McDavid hits 1000 points, Oilers earn first three-game win streak

    Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is ready to carry you through the weekend. This week, we discussed Connor McDavid's 1,000-point night, Darnell Nurse's big game, Jeff Skinner's struggles, and much more. The fellas kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about our favourite Connor McDavid moments and how Thursday's 1,000th point ranks among his current achievements. Whether it was the way he started his career with goal No. 1 against the Stars, hitting 100 assists in a season as he did last year or his first 60-goal season, there's little doubt that it was a special moment for everyone who's been along for the ride. Looking back at last night's 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators and how that victory gave the Oilers their first three-game win streak of the season. And even though everyone understandably wanted to talk about Connor McDavid's milestone night, some underrated storylines came out that the boys wanted to talk about. From how Calvin Pickard swept the season series against Nashville to Darnell Nurse's three-point night that still wasn't good enough for some people, last night's win was an exciting result.  Finally, we wrapped the podcast up by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots that covered some Oilers talk and some nonsense mixed in there too. From there, the fellas dove into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days in terms of good and bad news. Needless to say, this week's episode had plenty of Connor McDavid talk mixed with a little bit of nonsense. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcast https://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.

    Kris Knoblauch for Jay Woodcroft anniversary, Evan Bouchard, and an Islanders preview

    It's game day for the Edmonton Oilers with the New York Islanders in town, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio. On today's podcast, we looked at the Oilers' 7-3 win over the Canucks, what to expect from the New York Islanders, Brett Kulak's strong start, and more. We started the Tuesday podcast episode by discussing which team we enjoy watching the Oilers beat the most and why. Whether it's laughing at Canucks fans because of how annoying the fanbase can be or Toronto for the way they think they're better than everyone else, it was fun to try and figure out which team is the most annoying. Flipping the question, are there any teams that the boys don't mind losing to? Moving along, we looked back at the anniversary of Jay Woodcroft being fired and Kris Knoblauch coming in. Seeing as the boys were in Seattle on a Nation Vacation when Woodcroft was fired, everyone gave their take on what life's been like in the year since that coaching change. Back to the current team, the boys also spent some time talking about Evan Bouchard's struggles and how Oilers fans are looking for a whole lot more from their first pairing defenceman. Finally, the squad wrapped up the Tuesday podcast with some betting talk, keys to victory for beating the Islanders, and offered up a score prediction ahead of tonight's game at Rogers Place. Given that the Oilers and Islanders are both working through varying struggles, their first of two meetings on the season could be a low scoring affair. That said, this game could also be one where the special teams play a major factor given that both sides are struggling on both the PP and the PK.  💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcast https://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 Oilers are their own worst enemy

    Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is ready to carry you through the weekend. This week, we discussed Wednesday's loss to the Golden Knights, Evan Bouchard's rough start, Connor McDavid's early return to the lineup, and much more. We started the Friday episode of the podcast by discussing the Oilers' defensive pairings and whether it's time to change things up. Seeing as the Oilers had some very real struggles against the Golden Knights on Wednesday, it's fair to wonder if Knoblauch should try a different look or two with his defensive units. Changing gears, we looked at the new line combos the Oilers iced at practice. Mattias Janmark is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury, which means there could be a path for a player like Noah Philp to rejoin the big club after spending the week with the Condors. We also touched on Matthew Savoie blocking a shot down in Calgary and how the fear of him being out has seemingly been squashed since he ended up in the lineup the next night. Finally, we wrapped the podcast up by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots that covered some Oilers talk and some nonsense mixed in there as well. From there, the fellas dove into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days. Needless to say, this week's episode had plenty of hockey talk mixed with a little bit of nonsense. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcast https://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.

    How would you grade the Oilers' three games without Connor McDavid?

    Last night's game against the New Jersey Devils was a tough one for the Edmonton Oilers, which meant an irritated cast on the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio. On today's podcast, we looked at Connor McDavid's recovery, Monday's shutout loss to the Devils, a minor-league trade, and more. We started the Tuesday podcast with a delicious debate about the letter grade everyone would give the Oilers after three games without Connor McDavid in the lineup. With a 2-1-0 record without their captain, the fellas gave their notes on what's been happening over the last three games and why they assigned the grades they did.  Changing gears, the conversation turned toward the Oilers' special teams and how they're losing games because of areas where they've been solid historically. Put another way, if ever you were going to make a list of the issues the Oilers might have during the 2024-25 season, there's no way anyone would have included the power play.  Getting into the news from the week, we started with a discussion about when Connor McDavid will return to the lineup after being cryptic about whether or not he'll be available for Saturday's game in Vancouver. Is McDavid coming back the reason that the team loaned Drake Caggiula to the Condors? If McDavid does come back for Saturday's game, does that mean Derek Ryan might hit the waiver wire? Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR by looking ahead to tomorrow's matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. One of the weirder things about Vegas' season is that they're currently undefeated at home but have yet to win on the road. It's one of the stranger stats you will ever hear, but the goal of the podcast is not just to entertain but also to teach the audience a few things from time to time.  💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcast https://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.

    Leon Draisaitl dominates the Predators, Noah Philp's debut, and the Oilers' PK

    Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is ready to carry you through the weekend. This week, we discussed Friday's win against the Predators, Noah Philp's NHL debut, and a whole lot more. The boys started the Friday episode of ONR with a conversation about last night's win against the Nashville Predators and how it was an incredible effort by the McDavid-less Oilers at a moment when they needed it. Starting with how Leon Draisaitl handled his business, life without the captain gets much easier if their second-best player can step up the way he did. The guys also discussed the fisticuffs that happened with Podkolzin and Emberson, each dropping the mitts, and how those fights did a great job of sparking the team. Sticking with last night's win, the boys gave their first impressions of how Noah Philp looked in his first NHL game and how great it was to see him pick up his first assist. Yet, even though everyone loves how he played, it's important to remember that he's an older prospect and that the ceiling may not be as sky-high as some people think. If he can stick in the lineup and lock down the 4C spot, wouldn't that be good enough? Finally, we wrapped the podcast up by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots that covered some Oilers talk and some nonsense mixed in there as well. From there, the fellas dove into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days.

    What do the Oilers look like without Connor McDavid?

    Last night's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets couldn't have gone worse for the Edmonton Oilers, which meant a sombre tone on the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio. On today's episode, we looked at the Connor McDavid injury, who fills the void, Philp/Caggiula being recalled, and more.  The boys started the Tuesday podcast episode with a delicious debate about the Connor McDavid injury and how the Oilers can realistically fill the void for a player that can not be duplicated. Elliotte Friedman tweeted Tuesday afternoon that the team is expected to recall Noah Philp and Drake Caggiula, meaning the Oilers will need to figure out line configurations and how they can best be effective.  We then wondered aloud about McDavid's injury and our initial thoughts after seeing him go down. Considering it was an innocuous-looking play, it's unbelievable that he could be injured for any length of time after such a minor collision. Regardless of how McDavid's injury happened, the Oilers will have to navigate a captainless existence in the short term. It's a massive hole to fill, and the question will be whether or not they can get anywhere close to doing it.  As we were recording, the news became official that the Oilers recalled Noah Philp and Drake Caggiula, meaning the team is no longer able to accrue cap space while they're on the lineup. Even though that's a temporary issue while McDavid is out of the lineup, the Oilers will have less space at the trade deadline than they initially hoped.  💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcast https://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.

    Oilers change the line combos, welcome Sidney Crosby and the Penguins

    The Oilers dropped their last two games against Dallas and Carolina, causing the vibes around the team to drop dramatically. That said, we're still feeling good about the team going forward, and we did our best to try and explain why everyone else should be too. We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' new power play line combos and whether we think these new configurations will stick for any length of time. Edmonton hasn't adjusted its power play lines all that much over the last few years, which led us to discuss how much leash everyone thinks the new hotness will have before turning back to the old faithful.  Changing gears, Dan mentioned he was unhappy with Kris Knoblauch's OT usage, and we talked about why he thinks the ice time should be split up a little more. Some of the boys think that loss is more a product of bad luck than OT usage. We then looked at the new line combos that Kris Knoblauch put together and whether this shuffle would be the key to balancing out the attack.  Looking ahead at Friday's game against the Penguins and what the biggest keys to victory will be for the Oilers to get back in the win column. From the special teams getting going to taking care of their end to capitalize on their chances to score, there are plenty of details the Oilers can dial in if they're going to get back in the win column.  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. Needless to say, this week's episode had plenty of hockey talk mixed with a little bit of nonsense.  💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcast https://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.

    Oilers' scoring woes, the special teams, and new line combos

    We're back to two episodes of Oilersnation Radio per week, and unfortunately, that meant we had to spend the Tuesday episode of the podcast talking about why the Oilers can't seem to score goals right now. We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Stuart Skinner and whether or not the hate he's getting online is deserved. While there's no doubt that Skinner needs to be better, there's also an argument to be made about how the skaters in front of him aren't playing their best either. The more significant point for all of us, however, is that it's tough to win hockey games when you don't score goals. Changing gears, we reviewed the news from this past week, including Knoblauch's new line combos, key players' lack of scoring, and the Oilers' special teams. Starting with the lack of power play success, we looked at what the Oilers might change tactically to try and get back on top. Outside of changing up the personnel, would it make sense for the Oilers' to simplify the approach a little bit with more shots and crashing the crease? We also looked at the scoring totals and how there are some key players without having any points on the board. Are the goals coming, or are we looking at a cold streak we think will continue? Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a game preview ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Hurricanes and offered up our keys to victory for how the Oilers can lock in their third win of the season. We then wrapped up the show some betting talk ahead of tonight's matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes. Despite losing their last game against Dallas, the Oilers are favoured against Carolina, and we took our best guesses at the betting lines ahead of what will be a pivotal matchup. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcast https://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.
