It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the Edmonton Oilers' biggest stories. On this week's podcast, we discussed Connor McDavid's three-game suspension, Derek Ryan clearing waivers, Alex Ovechkin's goal record chase, and much more.

We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Connor McDavid's three-game suspension and whether the NHL got it right. Given that the refs were responsible for the whole mess, many hockey fans were surprised that both players received matching suspensions. As you'll hear, no one is really upset with the DoPS for their decision but rather that the situation was allowed to boil over in the first place.

Sticking with the McDavid suspension, we looked at some of the drawn penalty numbers that don't make much sense regarding what Connor has to deal with on a nightly basis. We also looked at players around the NHL speaking up about the incident and how no one seems to have a problem with McDavid reacting the way he did. That also brought around another round of debate about whether the Oilers have enough toughness with the lineup when these situations arise.

With No. 97 out of the lineup for the next three games, Kris Knoblauch blended up his line combinations at Tuesday's practice and bumped a couple of players up in the roster. With guys potentially getting more opportunity, now would be the perfect time for some depth scoring to help raise the tides. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with the triumphant return of Dan's Game that revolved around Tuesday's opponent.

It's the Friday afternoon after a pair of huge Oilers comeback wins, which meant the boys had plenty to talk about on the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio. This week, the guys discussed the John Klingberg signing, Connor McDavid's goal heater, Noah Philp being recalled, and much more.

We started the podcast with a delicious debate about John Klingberg signing a one-year deal with the Oilers this morning and how he fits into the Oilers' lineup. Given that he hasn't played in well over a year, we also wondered what's fair to expect from him as he works his way back into playing shape. We've seen plenty of examples of players missing time early in NHL seasons and taking plenty of time to get back up to speed.

Changing gears, we looked at the two comeback wins over the Wild and Avalanche. Obviously, it's great that the Oilers could erase their early deficits and ultimately win the game. Still, it's undoubtedly a problem that they're giving up so many early goals, and they have got to clean up those details and mistakes. Another angle on the issue is: Are the Oilers having an issue with slow starts, or is there something to be said about the ridiculous travel schedule they've had lately?

Looking at some of the individual performances that have happened over the last few games, and how some key players are coming up with clutch goals when we need them most. Given that we've always been gagging for secondary scoring, having the Oilers get goals from throughout their lineup is a blessing the team hasn't had in forever. 

Finally, the boys wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot that featured some Oilers questions about topics you never expected to hear. Needless to say, the boys were all over the map. As always, the fellas gave their best advice whether they were qualified or not. Last but not least, everyone gave their best and worst moments from the last week in another round of Hot and Cold Performers.

It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the Edmonton Oilers' biggest stories. On this week's podcast, we discussed the NHL playoff format, Monday's win over the Los Angeles Kings, and a whole lot more.

We kicked off the Tuesday podcast with a delicious debate about the NHL playoff format and whether it's time for the league to revisit how the post-season is set up. With the current setup in place, the NHL clearly focuses on playoff rivalries more so than if everyone got re-seeded. Still, a conversation at Nation HQ made Baggedmilk wonder if it's time to re-visit the current format, which ultimately prompted the discussion.

Returning to the Oilers, we looked back at last night's 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings and how it was one of Edmonton's best defensive outings of the season. Given that only one goal was scored all night, it was crucial to manage the puck carefully to avoid costly errors, and the guys discussed why the Oilers could do that successfully. We also discussed Connor McDavid scoring the game-winner on his 28th birthday and how an incredible second effort by Leon Draisaitl made the whole play possible.

Sticking with the news from the past few days, we revisited Jeff Skinner being healthy scratched again and whether there's something to that lineup decision or if Kris Knoblauch went 11/7 to add some size to the lineup with Josh Brown. Given that Skinner was starting to play better, it was surprising for some Oilers fans to see him taking a spot in the press box again. We also looked at the rumour from Darren Dreger that the Oilers could be one of the teams interested in John Klingberg, who is reportedly nearing a return to the NHL.

Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about another tough stretch in the Oilers' schedule that's coming up this week. The Oilers were able to handle the last difficult week of the schedule quite well the last time, but it will be much tougher to beat some of those teams for a second time. Either way, we gave our keys to victory regarding what the Oilers need to do to beat the Wild/Avalanche, and what habits they need to flex to make sure it's doable. Either way, the boys were feeling bullish.

The Oilers suffered a tough loss last night in Pittsburgh, which meant there was plenty to discuss on the Friday episode of ONR. On today's podcast, the boys covered Evander Kane's surgery news, trade deadline rumours, Thursday's loss to the Penguins, and much more. 

We started the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Evander Kane undergoing another knee surgery. This will delay his rehab from former injuries and the timeline for his return to the lineup. While discussing the Kane situation, the boys became incredibly confused about the cap implications as none of them had a real idea of how this works. So, the question became whether the Oilers played this situation right or not. Did they screw up the whole situation?

Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the boys covered a range of topics that have popped up over the last week. From trade rumours starting to pop up to wondering who Stan Bowman may chase at the deadline to reliving the Mattias Ekholm trade, the second segment of the Friday podcast was all over the map. Did the fellas solve anything? Not really. Did they argue about meaningless topics and moments? Absolutely yet. 

Finally, the boys wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot that featured some Oilers questions about topics you never expected to hear. Needless to say, the boys were all over the map. As always, the fellas gave their best advice whether they were qualified or not. Last but not least, everyone gave their best and worst moments from the last week in another round of Hot and Cold Performers.

It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the biggest stories relating to the Edmonton Oilers. On this week's podcast, we discussed potential Oilers trade targets, Lauren Kyle opening a new bar in Edmonton, and much more. 

We kicked off the Tuesday podcast with a delicious debate about Frank Seravalli's new Trade Targets list, which dropped this morning at DailyFaceoff.com. We discussed whether there are any players listed that the Oilers should be interested in acquiring. Given that many Oilers fans would prefer that Stan Bowman acquire some defensive help is that the best approach to the deadline with few trade assets available? Are there any included forwards in Frank's list that would be worthy of exploring?

From there, we dove into the past few days around Edmonton and recapped the Oilers' two big wins over the Anaheim Ducks and Seattle Kraken. Given that both teams are below them in the standings, it was interesting to see how much trouble the Ducks keep giving the Oilers even though our side ultimately won the rematch. Does it matter how the wins come if you're collecting two points? We also looked at other topics du jours, including Lauren Kyle's new business venture, Matt Savoie's recent AHL success, and a retirement announcement from an Oiler friend. 

Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about tonight's game against the Boston Bruins. The Oilers were able to beat the Bruins in their first matchup of the season, but it will be much tougher if they're going to sweep the season series. Either way, we gave our keys to victory regarding what the Oilers need to do to beat the Bruins, and what habits they need to shed to make sure it's doable. Either way, the boys were feeling bullish.

The holiday season is behind us, which means it's time to get back to work with a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio. On this week's episode, we discussed Canada's failure at the World Juniors, new line combos at Oilers practice, and much more.

Kicking off the Friday episode of ONR, the guys started with a delicious debate about Canada at the World Juniors and how they failed to make it past the quarter-finals for the second straight year. Was it a problem with roster construction? Was it the team's lack of discipline at key moments? Was there bad luck mixed in because no one on the team could score? Was the coaching staff to blame for the lack of accountability? Needless to say, there is plenty of blame to go around after another disappointing season.

Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, we discussed the New Year's Eve win over Utah and how refreshing it was to see the Oilers rebound after a pair of tough losses in California. Not only was it an important game to avoid a three-game losing streak, but it was also crucial for the Oilers to put down a statement effort against a team they should probably beat more often than not. That led us to discuss the new line combinations from practice yesterday and whether we think Kris Knoblauch will stick with these new trios for any length of time.

We then talked about the recent report that the Oilers will be looking to extend Ty Emberson before the season ends after losing a two young players last summer to offer sheets. Clearly the Oilers want to learn from their mistakes in how Holloway and Broberg were handled means losing young guys can't happen again. Given how Emberson has progressed through the first 35 games of the season, locking him up now makes a world of sense.

Finally, the boys wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot that featured some Oilers New Year's questions. As always, the fellas gave their best advice whether they were qualified or not. Last but not least, everyone gave their best and worst moments from the last week in another round of Hot and Cold Performers.

The boys are back from Christmas break with a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio, recapping the holiday and getting everyone ready for tomorrow's matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and the Los Angeles Kings. On this week's show, the guys discussed the Christmas break, the Oilers' schedule, playoff races, and a whole lot more.

The Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio kicked off with a delicious debate about the Pacific Division standings and, specifically, how everyone would feel about another playoff matchup against the L.A. Kings. Even though we're still a long way from the end of the season, Edmonton/Los Angeles would be the first-round matchup if the playoffs started today.

Next, we looked back on Edmonton's very strong December, which led to the conversation about whether this is the standard we should expect going forward. Even if you don't expect the Oil to win 11 of every 13 games they play, what everyone agreed on is that no one should be surprised by the way the team turned things around after another slow start. If anything, we could see more runs like the one the boys were on before the Christmas break. 

Working through the back half of the podcast, we changed gears to a little bit of betting talk centred around Connor McDavid's Art Ross Trophy race. Now that McDavid is just outside the top six in league scoring, everyone gave their take on whether the captain has enough runway left to finish climbing the ladder. Given that the odds are getting juicy, would you consider dropping a few dollars on No. 97 to win another Art Ross Trophy, even with work to do?

Finally, the boys wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot that featured some Oilers and Christmas questions. As always, the fellas gave their best advice whether they were qualified or not. Last but not least, everyone gave their best and worst moments from the last week in another round of Hot and Cold Performers.

After a tough loss to the Florida Panthers on Monday, the Edmonton Oilers got themselves back in the win column with a comeback effort against the Boston Bruins. Was it the prettiest win you'll ever see? No. Does it matter when you get two points? Also, no... maybe.

We started the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a delicious debate about the Oilers' new defensive pairings from practice this morning. Although Kris Knoblauch doesn't mix up his D-pairings very often, this morning's practice showed a significant shift away from the status quo. Do you like the new pairings? Do you hate them? Are you confused by the change like Baggedmilk? The answers were all over the map.

Changing gears, we looked back at Thursday's win over the Bruins and how the Oilers secured the victory despite not playing their best game. A big part of that win was Leon Draisaitl's seventh consecutive multi-point night, which gave him 50 on the year and 900 points in his career. We also discussed Viktor Arvidsson's return to the lineup and how a devastating hit in the corner arguably punctuated his first night back on the ice. 

Finally, we finished the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk, and Hot and Cold Performers to wrap up the week. With all of the serious Oilers talk out of the way, it's always nice to wind down with a little bit of shenanigans, and there was plenty of that in the second episode of the week. As for what next week's schedule looks like, we'll be taking Tuesday off to enjoy Christmas Eve before getting right back on it for the Friday episode of the pod.

The Edmonton Oilers had their five game win streak snapped last night against the Florida Panthers.

It was a chaotic game with neither team playing well but, unfortunately, it was the Panthers that found the sixth goal before the Oilers did. Liam, Rick and Nation Dan will talk you back through that game discussing the performance of Evan Bouchard, Stuart Skinner and Zach Hyman. Additionally, they talked about the controversial decision to allow Matthew Tkachuk's power play goal stand after there was a discussion if he kicked the puck or not.

Furthermore, after that defeat, head coach Kris Knoblauch shuffled up the line combinations with Jeff Skinner and Connor Brown switching spots. There were also comments about when Viktor Arvidsson could return to the lineup.

You can expect all of that and more on today's episode of Oilersnation Radio.

The Edmonton Oilers have steamrolled through their competition over the last week, which meant there was plenty to discuss on the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio.

The guys kicked off the Friday episode of the podcast with a delicious debate about whether Ryan Hartman should be suspended for his dirty hit on Evan Bouchard in Thursday's game against the Minnesota Wild. Given that Hartman has a history of being fined and suspended for dirty plays, the conversation was a little more split than you may think. After watching the video a handful of times, the guys' thoughts were all over the map as they tried to figure out what the right move was. 

Changing gears, we looked back at last night's 7-1 win over the Minnesota Wild and how it was one of the most dominant performances the Oilers have had in quite some time. Not only was it a total beatdown, but to do it against one of the best teams in the league was a surprise that none of us saw coming. From Calvin Pickard playing lights out between the pipes to Leon Draisaitl taking over the game with a dominant performance, the Oilers got big performances from key players on their road to victory.

Given how the Oilers are playing right now, there are going to be some very interesting roster decisions to make as the team gets healthy. As an example, who comes out of the lineup when a guy like Viktor Arvidsson comes back? What about down the line when Evander Kane comes back? Needless to say, this is a very good problem for the team to have and one that we haven't really experienced before. When you're a strong hockey club like the Oilers are, the team has a chance to get even better and that's a fantastic to think about.
