It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Darnell Nurse's trade request, where he might end up, the Mike Babcock situation, line combinations, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not Darnell Nurse carries more risk than some fans are acknowledging. Given the minutes he plays and his constant availability, it's worth having a discussion about whether or not moving on from the player will create a bigger hole than some people think. While there's no debate that the contract has become an issue, there is still a strong hockey player there that the team will likely be without when the next season rolls around.

Shifting gears, the guys continued with the Darnell Nurse conversation with a look at what trading him might even look like. His contract is obviously a massive part of the story when it comes to moving him, but that shouldn't suggest that Nurse carries zero value on the trade market. But what kind of trade should Oilers fans even expect? From there, the boys spoke about the never-ending coaching drama that's raging on after news broke earlier in the week that the team is interested in Mike Babcock.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk, Ask the Idiots questions, and Hot and Colder Performers to wrap up the week. The guys also discussed the Stanley Cup Final and how the Carolina Hurricanes have a chance to close things out in Game 6 on Sunday night. They also discussed the NBA Finals and how the Knicks' comeback wins have been wild to watch. Speaking of wild to watch, seeing Knicks fans beating up Spurs fans just for wearing team merch ranks right up there for being nuts.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Mike Babcock coaching hire, the public's reaction to the move, line combinations, and more.

We kicked off the Tuesday emergency episode of ONR with a look at the Oilers' decision to bring in Mike Babcock as their new head coach. After weeks of hearing Bruce Cassidy's name as the main target for the job, it was a stunning development to see Mike Babcock's name attached to the team, given all of the recent history and baggage associated with this specific candidate. While there's zero doubt about the resume, the reality is that not much has gone well for Babcock since winning with Detroit nearly 20 years ago. Needless to say, the fanbase's reaction was as spicy as expected, and that's why we gathered for an emergency episode of ONR to break things down.

Sticking with the Babcock conversation, we looked back at some of his coaching controversies and wondered whether the Oilers will be asking for him to change, or if the franchise is expecting that same guy to show up and turn things around. Given the franchise's messaging that they wanted a firmer approach behind the bench, it always seemed like it would be a short list of candidates, but the boys certainly didn't think there was a world where Babcock was the solution. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a quick update on some of the drama that's kicked up at Nation HQ over the last week, including the growing Duck Mystery and the fallout from the office World Cup draft.

Welcome back to Ask Dubey!

In this episode, former NHL goaltender Devan Dubnyk tackles a wide range of hockey questions from Oilers Nation viewers. Dubey breaks down why the Vegas Golden Knights have found success at the perfect time, why the Colorado Avalanche were surprisingly swept despite being one of the NHL's top teams all season, and whether the Edmonton Oilers' Stanley Cup window is still open with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading the way.

Dubey also dives into Edmonton's biggest offseason priorities, including the ongoing goaltending conversation and what needs to happen for the Oilers to get back into serious Stanley Cup contention. Is goaltending still the biggest issue? Can the Oilers rebound after a disappointing season? Dubey shares his perspective from a player's point of view.

Later in the episode, he offers a behind-the-scenes look at the relationship between NHL goaltenders and their head coaches, sharing stories about coaches like Bruce Boudreau, Dave Tippett, Dallas Eakins, and John Hynes, while explaining how communication can make or break a goalie-coach relationship.

The episode also features some lighter moments as Dubey discusses NHL prank culture, the funniest teammates he ever played with, why Jason Strudwick was impossible to chirp, and his newfound obsession with hockey card collecting alongside his kids.

Plus, Dubey provides an update on the highly anticipated Ryan Jones guest appearance, which is coming soon to Ask Dubey.

If you're an Edmonton Oilers fan, NHL fan, hockey card collector, or just love hearing stories from a former NHL player, this episode has something for you.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Darnell Nurse rumours, free agency, the Stanley Cup Final, line combinations, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Darnell Nurse rumours that kicked up this week after Mark Spector wrote an article at Sportsnet, citing that the player and team are heading for a split. And while the rumours certainly got Oilers fans talking, there is no guarantee that Stan Bowman will be able to find a suitor for a contract this big. There's also the angle that removing Darnell Nurse creates a 20-minute hole on the back end that will need to be filled.

Shifting gears, the boys looked at a burgeoning scandal that's happening at Nation HQ after a bunch of tiny plastic duckshades had been appearing around the office. As you'll hear, the appearance of the Ducks around the office has prompted an offseason investigation that is taking up everyone's bandwidth until the mystery is solved. Getting back to hockey, the boys spent some time looking at the Stanley Cup Final, and how both teams are showing reasons why either could win.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the conference finals nearly wrapped up, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, most related to the Oilers' needs for the off-season, some not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

Another episode of Ask Dubey is here! Devan Dubnyk checks in from Secaucus, New Jersey to answer your questions on the biggest stories around the NHL, the Edmonton Oilers, and the current Stanley Cup Playoff picture.

This week, Dubey breaks down the shocking Colorado Avalanche sweep at the hands of Vegas, why injuries may have played a massive role, and how the Golden Knights have suddenly become one of the most dangerous teams left standing. He also dives deep into Edmonton’s ongoing goaltending questions heading into next season and explains why he’d seriously consider calling Minnesota about Filip Gustavsson.

Dubey also gives an awesome behind-the-scenes look at how goaltending has evolved over the years — from the rise of RVH/VH techniques to why NHL save percentages are dropping league-wide. Plus, he shares stories from his time with the Oilers in the 2010s, the “bonded by trauma” era in Edmonton, and why Ryan Jones is still one of his closest hockey friends today.

👀 There’s also a tease for a possible Ryan Jones guest appearance on an upcoming episode of Ask Dubey!

There is some noticeable audio feedback at 03:00- 20:18. That is on producer Reece and will not happen again I apologize for the impact on your listening!

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' coaching situation, Evan Bouchard's injury at Worlds, the Conference Finals, line combinations, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the boys have a problem with the Oilers allowing their players to participate in the World Championships, given what happened to Evan Bouchard yesterday against the USA. While it's definitely unfortunate to see that Bouchard got injured, the boys made a good case for why he should have gone to this tournament, given his hopes of playing for the Canadian Olympic team.

Shifting gears, the boys looked at the latest news on the Oilers' coaching search, including quotes from Kelly McCrimmon and Bruce Cassidy after they were asked about the situation. Despite Kelly McCrimmon saying the Oilers leaked the story and that they don't want to talk about this any further, Vegas' GM keeps booking himself for radio appearances where he invariably gets asked about it. Needless to say, this situation keeps getting weirder as more details become available.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the conference finals nearly wrapped up, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, most related to the Oilers' needs for the off-season, some not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

- What it’s like playing through games when you feel completely off

- His relationship with former goalie coaches in Edmonton, Arizona, and Minnesota

- Whether Edmonton’s goalie coaching was actually the problem

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' coaching interviews, changes in Edmonton, the Conference Finals, line combinations, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about which Oilers-related story is most annoying on social media right now. Whether it's talk about the goaltending, Connor McDavid's contract, or the Oilers' Cup window closing, there is so much noise around the team that the boys are tired of listening to. But with the summer just getting started, the chances of any of this noise going away are next to zero.

Shifting gears, the boys looked at the latest rumblings in the Oilers' coaching search, even though literally nothing has happened. With Vegas still refusing to permit Edmonton to speak to Bruce Cassidy, the boys discussed if any other names would be suitable Plan Bs if Cassidy doesn't work out. Either way, the story lingering continues to be annoying given that it has since come out that this is the second time Vegas has done this to the Oilers.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the conference finals underway, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, most related to the Oilers' needs for the off-season, some not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.
