Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to be enjoyed. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Edmonton's win over Los Angeles, what to expect from the Vegas Golden Knights, and much more.

The guys kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a random discussion about mascots before finally getting to our delicious debate for the week, which revolved around Nic Roy's cross-check to Trent Frederic's face. On Friday morning, the NHL DoPS announced that Roy would face a hearing later today. That prompted the boys to wonder whether he would be suspended for one game or if getting kicked out in overtime was enough of a punishment.

Changing gears, we examined what the Oilers need to do in Game 3 to ensure they maintain the momentum. While Edmonton managed to win Game 2, one can argue that the team was fortunate to pull out the victory, given the numerous mistakes made and the Golden Knights' strong performance. If they're going to kick off their games at home with another win, Edmonton will need to do a much better job on the small details of their game. Put another way, it would be really lovely if Calvin Pickard didn't have to bail the boys out as often as he has been.

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. It's incredible how much things can change in two weeks, isn't it? Especially when you remember that the Oilers were down 2-0 in the series at this same point only a week ago. Life comes at you fast, doesn't it?

Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is set to massage your ear feelings. On the Tuesday edition of the podcast, the guys discussed the Edmonton Oilers' series comeback, what to expect from Game 1 vs. Vegas, Calvin Pickard getting the start, and much more.

The boys started the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Calvin Pickard starting Game 1 for the Oilers instead of going back to Stuart Skinner. Given that Calvin Pickard won the Oilers' last four games, it would make sense to give our pal Cal the net for Round 2, but that doesn't necessarily mean we won't see Skinner at any point in the series. While everyone agreed with Pickard getting the nod to start, everyone also saw a path where the team would go back to Skinner later in the series.

Looking ahead at the Oilers vs. Golden Knights, the guys walked through their series predictions for Round 2 and how the boys are all bullish on Edmonton's chances to get through Vegas. But if they're going to beat Vegas in this second round, a big step toward that goal has to be finding a way to win this first game. Unfortunately, the bad news about Game 1 is that the Oilers are only 3-10 in series openers in the Connor McDavid era, which led to a discussion about what they need to do to avoid going down 0-1 again.

Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a run of betting talk for our friends at bet365, keys to victory in Game 1, and offered a few reasons why everyone should believe the Oilers can exact revenge over Vegas. As you'll hear, the boys feel bullish about the Oilers' chances to get the job done, but that will only happen if they can bring the same effort that saw them close out their first-round matchup over Los Angeles.

On Tuesday's episode of Oilersnation Radio, we predicted that the next time we spoke on the podcast, we'd be discussing the Oilers' series win. Getting that prediction right made for a very fun episode of ONR to close out the week. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Edmonton's win over Los Angeles, what to expect from the Vegas Golden Knights, and much more.

The boys kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about our favourite moment from the Oilers' first-round series win over the Kings and what moment we will still be thinking about years down the line. From the way Edmonton roared back from being down 2-0 to the way the depth scoring came flooding in to help close things out, there are plenty of options for core memories to lock in from what was a wild ride in round one.

Continuing the conversation about Game 6, we wondered what losing to the Oilers for four consecutive years would do to the Los Angeles Kings. Given that Los Angeles is clearly not good enough to compete with the big dogs in the Pacific Division, are they nearing a point when the Kings would consider tearing it down and trying to start over?

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. It's amazing how much things can change in a week, isn't it? Especially when you remember that the Oilers were down 2-0 in the series at this point last week.

Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is set to massage your ear feelings. On this week's podcast, the guys discussed the Edmonton Oilers' series comeback, what to expect from Game 5, Leon Draisaitl's dominance, and much more.

The boys started the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about Rick Tocchet being out as head coach in Vancouver after the team released a statement that said they've parted ways, only a year after he won Coach of the Year. Getting into the regularly scheduled programming, we looked back at Kris Knoblauch's decision not to challenge Warren Foegele's goal in Game 4. As you'll hear, the boys were split on the play.

Looking back at Game 4, we started the review by discussing Leon Draisaitl's brilliance. Not only did he register four points in a critical game, but he also extended his postseason point streak against the Kings to 18 games. In that stretch, Draisaitl has amassed an unbelievable 35 points. The guys also discussed Evan Bouchard's incredible run of postseason offence, which ranks him second only to Bobby Orr in league history.

Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a run of betting talk for our friends at bet365, Knoblauch's decision to roll with Calvin Pickard, keys to victory in Game 5, and offered a few reasons why everyone should believe the Oilers can get the job done.

Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded, edited, and is set to massage your ear feelings. On this week's podcast, the guys discussed what needs to happen in Game 3 defensively, Wednesday's loss to the L.A. Kings, and much more.

The boys started the Friday podcast with a delicious debate about the Oilers' defensive game and what specifically needs to improve for the team to avoid the chaos that's been happening in their zone through two games. Whether it's better decisions with the puck, supporting each other as passing options, or throwing the puck up the middle of the ice, there are countless ways Edmonton can improve in their zone that should lead to better results.

The guys continued the conversation about Game 3 with a look at Calvin Pickard getting the start in favour of Stuart Skinner, and gave takes on whether this was the right decision by Knoblauch. Given that Skinner has allowed 11 goals on 58 shots through the first two games, it wasn't exactly surprising to see the goalie swap for Friday night, but the move is also not without risks. The other angle is that Calvin Pickard played well down the stretch and probably earned an opportunity to get back in the crease.

From there, the discussion turned to the opposite end of the ice and what the Oilers need to do to generate more offence than we're seeing. Starting with getting more pucks on net, the Oilers really need to simplify their game and start doing more to make life uncomfortable for Darcy Kuemper. We also discussed the need for more bodies to the crease to fish for secondary chances and greasy playoff-like goals. Much like on the defensive side of the puck, there is a lot of room to improve.

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. Even though the team is down 0-2 in the first round, the ONR squad felt positive despite the circumstances. The question remains whether or not the Oilers feel just as bullish on what they're capable of doing on Friday back at Rogers Place.

Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded, edited, and is set to massage your ear feelings. On this week's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' Game 1 loss, the special teams, penalty calls, and much more.

The guys kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about Monday's loss to the Kings, and how it was incredibly frustrating to have the Oilers come back from being down 4-0 and lose before the game got to OT. Starting with the mess in their zone, the boys wondered why Edmonton seems to be a yard sale in their end when they were so good defensively in last year's run. The guys also discussed whether or not losing Game 1 has any effect on how confident everyone is about the Oilers' ability to still win the series.

Changing gears, the boys discussed potential lineup adjustments for Game 2 if Evander Kane can return to the lineup for Game 2. As you'll hear, the boys have a few different names circled to get swapped out for Kane. What will be most interesting to see is what Kris Knoblauch thinks is the most significant need relative to who's coming out. Would Knoblauch sacrifice a penalty killer like Mattias Janmark or Connor Brown for Kane? What about a guy like Jeff Skinner, who was on the ice for three goals against? Either way,

Finally, the boys wrapped up the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a random collection of topics from around the NHL, including Lou Lamoriello's departure in New York, the implosion happening in Vancouver, coaches getting fired, and much more. Despite the Oilers' loss in Los Angeles, the boys' spirits were still high and looking ahead to a much better effort in Game 2 on Wednesday.

There's nothing quite like a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to wrap up your Friday, get you prepped for tonight's game, and keep you updated on all things Edmonton Oilers. This week, the fellas recapped their pre-season predictions, looked ahead at the NHL playoffs, Oilers vs. Kings, and much more.

The guys kicked off the Friday episode of ONR by looking back at our preseason predictions and laughing about how wrong we were about almost everything. From goal predictions to point predictions to lineup decisions to everything in between, it was clear that the boys were feeling bullish on the team before the season started. As you'll hear, no one was close on pretty much anything, which made for a hilarious review.

Getting away from our prediction reviews, we looked ahead at the schedule for the first four games of the first round series against the Los Angeles Kings. We also discussed how many pundits are picking the Kings to win this series, and whether or not having the lowered expectations will help them in this series. While there's no doubt L.A. was fantastic on home ice, maybe having people look at the Oilers as underdogs might be beneficial.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the Friday episode of the podcast with another round of betting talk, Ask the Idiots, and Hot and Cold Performers to recap the last week of our lives. Whether it was talking about Tyler getting old, the PGA's TV tactics, or Joey Moss' legacy, there was plenty to discuss on the Friday episode of ONR.

Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded, edited, and is set to massage your ear feelings. On this week's podcast, the guys discussed a potential Darnell Nurse suspension, Monday's loss to the L.A. Kings, and much more.

The boys started the Tuesday podcast with a delicious debate about whether Darnell Nurse should and will be suspended after the incident with Quinton Byfield, which resulted in a crosscheck to the head. Depending on how you look at the situation, the NHL has different routes to discipline Darnell Nurse, and the debate revolved around whether or not he will be suspended. As you'll hear, everyone's opinion on the matter was all over the map.

Changing gears, we looked back on Monday's loss to the Kings and how Philip Danault felt the Oilers were icing their B-squad and trying to hurt the opposing players. As much as Danault's comments weren't necessarily wrong, it was pretty funny that he didn't acknowledge the very real string of injuries Edmonton is working through. Even with McDavid saying the team isn't the 'walking wounded' this morning after practice, the reality is that the Oilers had nine regulars out of the lineup for Monday's game.

Sticking with the game against Los Angeles, we also discussed Quinn Hutson's NHL debut and how it was a cool moment for a young man who signed an ELC only days before suiting up for the Oilers. Despite playing just over 14 minutes in his debut, the guys discussed Hutson's ceiling and whether or not this is a prospect worth following. We also wondered how Hutson ranks among the other prospects the Oilers have signed in the last few weeks, and if these scratch tickets can do enough to bolster the Oilers' thin depth chart.

Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with some predictions about where Evander Kane might play when he returns and playoff betting talk before winding down with some game expectations for Wednesday's season finale against the San Jose Sharks. As always, the first episode of Oilersnation Radio of the week is always a fun one to record, and it was exciting to finally be talking about the playoffs after what has been a slog of a regular season.
