On this Oilers-focused episode of the Fuel and Fire podcast, Faiz and Greg commiserate over another ultimately devastating Stanley Cup Final run. They kick things off with a wellness check, exploring the emotional aftermath for fans and the team alike.

The discussion dives into the team's performance in the Final, particularly their inability to score despite good chances, and whether the Panthers were simply a superior opponent.

Greg and Faiz also tackle the persistent narrative surrounding Stuart Skinner, debating his role for next season and potential goaltending improvements. They don't shy away from the divisive topic of Darnell Nurse's contract and his place on the team, while also looking at the Oilers' impressive defence corps.

The conversation shifts to Connor McDavid's recent comments and what they might signal for the team's future, touching on the ongoing quest for a Cup and the unique dynamic between McDavid and Draisaitl.

Finally, they look ahead to the offseason, discussing potential forward reloads, including insights on pending free agents like Mattias Janmark and Connor Brown, and ponder how Stan Bowman might leverage cap space to strengthen the roster.

The Fuel and Fire Podcast is a show that talks about the Battle of Alberta with fresh perspectives and hot takes on the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers.
