Oilers struggle with consistency, the #NationVacation, and more silly szn rumours

02/16/24 • 75 min

It's Friday afternoon, and that means we've got a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio all set, edited, and ready to take you into the weekend. This week, we spoke about the Oilers' up-and-down run since the all-star break, previewed tomorrow's game against the Stars, and dove into more silly szn rumours that are circling our favourite hockey team.

Kicking off the podcast, we got started with a debate about the Oilers' bottom six and, specifically, whether any of those players should be replaced by a forward from the Bakersfield Condors. Given the fact that there are so many players not scoring right now, it's fair to wonder whether these most recent changes are going to give the team their best chance to win or not.

We then looked at last night's 6-3 loss to the St. Louis Blues and how that game was one of the worst this team has played since October. From their parade to the penalty box to their inability to limit mistakes, the Oilers struggled with the basics of their game, and the result was a total disaster. For a team that's supposed to be a Stanley Cup contender, games like last night's simply cannot happen.

Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Kennedy's Quote Game before wrapping up the week with some best and worsts from the past seven days with another round of Hot and Cold Performers.

Oilers look to avoid a losing streak vs. the Red Wings, and more trade rumours

It's Tuesday afternoon and it's an Oilers game day, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is all set and ready to discuss all things hockey. This week, we recapped the Oilers' last two games, Sam Gagner being back in the lineup, silly szn rumours, and previewed tonight's matchup versus the Detroit Red Wings.

Kicking off the fresh episode of ONR, we started with a conversation about the Edmonton Oilers' trade deadline needs and whether we would prefer that Ken Holland use assets to acquire a forward or a defenceman. Does this team need more scoring, or would they be better off adding another defender who can keep pucks out of the net?

Changing gears, we looked back at the last few days since the last podcast and talked about who delivered for us despite the results not necessarily going the way we wanted. Considering that the Oilers have a bunch of players that are not playing their best right now, the list of guys that need to step their games up is growing by the day.

Next, we worked through the end of the podcast with a random collection of topics, including Woz's signature segment (Can You Clear That Up For Me), a look at some of the latest Silly Szn rumours, Morgan Rielly vs. Ridley Grieg, and offered a quick preview of tonight's matchup against the Detroit Red Wings.

It’s Friday afternoon, and that means we’ve got a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio all set, edited, and ready to take you into the weekend. This week, we spoke about the Oilers overtime loss to the Boston Bruins on Wednesday.Oilers’ up-and-down run since the all-star break, previewed tomorrow’s game against the Stars, and dove into more silly szn rumours that are circling our favourite hockey team.

Kicking off the podcast, we got started with a debate about the Nation Vacation which happened earlier this week. Unfortunately, Nation Dan didn't make the trip this time around so Tyler, Rick and Liam gave their favourite memories from what was an incredible trip down to Arizona to watch the Oilers take on the Coyotes.

Also on the show, the Vancouver Canucks are riding a four game losing streak which has really opened the door for Edmonton to take advantage. Can the Oilers do it? Well, with many games in hand, the guys discussed the possibility of that actually happening.

Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another edition of Ask The Idiots, which mostly was about trade options heading into the deadline. Finally, we wrapped up the show with Hot and Cold performers.
