Oil Rig Radio: Hockey This Fortnight

Come for the hockey talk, stay for the interruptions (a UPS guy, a bowl falling on the ground, and someone's computer dying in the middle of it all). 

Join host Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they discuss the Oilers recent success despite a rash of injuries, which NHL teams are doing far better (or worse) than preseason models suggested, who might win the Hart trophy, what jobs they believe they could do with no training or qualifications, which movie they'd love to watch again for the first time, and what historical contexts are a little mind-blowing. 

Join host Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they discuss the Oilers 12-4 start, how injuries to Darnell Nurse, Slater Koekkoek and Mike Smith might affect the team in the next little while, whether or not the Ducks are for real, if PK Subban is intentionally slewfooting other players, and which celebrities they would hunt, cook and eat if necessary. 

Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they dissect the Oilers 9-1 start, discuss whether or not Jack Eichel landed in the right spot, and try to unpack some of the other happenings around the NHL so far this season. 

Join Megan Fowler, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Steven Darnell as they discuss the point of the preseason, whether or not Jack Eichel is being taken advantage of, why Robin Lehner is an important hockey voice to listen to right now, what the Oilers 21-22 season will look like, and which NHLer would be the best contestant on Dancing With The Stars. 

Join Alex Thomas, Avry Lewis-McDougall, Steven Darnell and Megan Fowler as they dissect some of the biggest moves (both trades and free agent signings) since the Entry Draft. Stay tuned to the end for a special announcement from Alex. 

Join Megan Fowler, Avry Lewis-McDougall, Steven Darnell and special guest Librarian Mike for a breakdown of the expansion and entry drafts, as well as a discussion about why Edmonton isn't necessarily an unattractive destination anymore and whether or not there's ever been a Plan B. 

Join Megan Fowler, Alex Thomas, Avry Lewis-McDougall and non-guest Steven Darnell as they dissect the Duncan Keith trade, figure out what the lost opportunity cost is, wonder about the thought process behind the decision, and decide once and for all whether or not any of this matters. 

Join Megan Fowler, Alex Thomas, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Steven Darnell as they reflect on the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs, discuss Tampa Bay's incredible roster construction, toss around the idea of Duncan Keith as an Oiler, and make some predictions about ESPN and TNT's TV coverage for the upcoming season. There's a tiny bit of draft talk and free agency discussion too.
