In this episode of Homestand Sports, we dive deep into the heated debate surrounding the Edmonton Oilers' puzzling 2-8-1 start to the NHL season. We dissect the factors at play and explore who's to blame for their shaky performance. Is it Jay Woodcroft, Connor McDavid, Stuart Skinner or all of the above? (01:09)

We also unpack the thrilling Toronto Maple Leafs' 6-5 victory over Tampa Bay, shedding light on Ilya Samsonov's rollercoaster ride and Matthew Knies' outstanding performance on the top line alongside Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner. (14:47)

And we're handing out early NHL awards and predicting which Hughes brother, Jack or Quinn, will snag more accolades as the season progresses. And can Connor McDavid still win the Hart or Rocket Richard trophy? (26:03)
