Oilers wins, goalie interference, and what's going on with PP1
10/18/24 • 81 min
It's the Friday afternoon after a big Oilers win, which meant the vibes were excellent on the second episode of Oilersnation Radio of the week.
We kicked off Friday's episode of the podcast with a delicious debate about the Oilers' power play and, specifically, whether or not Kris Knoblauch should make any changes to the PP1. Even though the power play is struggling so far, it's also very early to make changes to a line that has been one of the best the league has ever seen in years.
Looking back at the last two games, we dove into the Oilers' first two victories of the year and how the win over Philly prevented Tyler from having to eat cat food again. Yet, despite talking about the game for 30 seconds, the conversation quickly fell off the rails with a way-too-early debate about Warren Foegele vs. Viktor Arvidsson.
Changing gears entirely, we looked at the Oilers' willingness to drop the mitts over the last two games and how those fights sparked the team in a very real way. That's not to suggest that fighting is the key to success in the NHL — no one is saying that — but it's hard to ignore the impact those three scraps had on the team at the moment.
Returning to last night's win over the Predators, we spent a few minutes talking about Nashville's struggles to start their season. Does it make sense that a team with so many new players should be afforded some extra time for everyone to get comfortable, or are they simply underperforming where they should be?
Finally, we wrapped the podcast up by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots before diving into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days. Needless to say, this week's episode had plenty of hockey talk that we've had in a while, and it feels good to know that the NHL is back in full swing.

Previous Episode
Deja-Vu in Oilers land after another rough start to the season
We're back to two episodes of Oilersnation Radio per week, and unfortunately, that meant we had to spend the first episode of the week talking about the Oilers' disastrous start to the year. Even though going 0-3 isn't the worst thing to happen in the big picture, that doesn't mean anyone should be happy about how the Oilers have started.
We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about what has been the most challenging or disappointing aspect of the first three games. Whether it's the lack of scoring from the top six, the lack of overall execution, or the inability to get going to start the year, there are plenty of reasons to be disappointed in the Edmonton Oilers. However, only time will tell how long it takes the team to figure things out.
Getting away from everything that's gone wrong, we looked at the news from the past week and walked through the ups and downs of the news wire. Starting with the Corey Perry no-goal from Sunday night, the fellas got into the call and how ridiculous it is that the NHL doesn't seem to have any standard regarding goaltender interference. From there, we dissected the new line combos that the Oilers iced this morning at practice.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with some keys to victory to ensure they snap their losing streak. Whether it's upping the urgency, respecting the blue lines, or getting production from their big guns, the boys had plenty ideas on how to snap the skid. With the armchair coaching out of the way, the guys offered up some score predictions for what they think will happen tonight against the Flyers.

Next Episode
Oilers' scoring woes, the special teams, and new line combos
We're back to two episodes of Oilersnation Radio per week, and unfortunately, that meant we had to spend the Tuesday episode of the podcast talking about why the Oilers can't seem to score goals right now.
We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Stuart Skinner and whether or not the hate he's getting online is deserved. While there's no doubt that Skinner needs to be better, there's also an argument to be made about how the skaters in front of him aren't playing their best either. The more significant point for all of us, however, is that it's tough to win hockey games when you don't score goals.
Changing gears, we reviewed the news from this past week, including Knoblauch's new line combos, key players' lack of scoring, and the Oilers' special teams. Starting with the lack of power play success, we looked at what the Oilers might change tactically to try and get back on top. Outside of changing up the personnel, would it make sense for the Oilers' to simplify the approach a little bit with more shots and crashing the crease? We also looked at the scoring totals and how there are some key players without having any points on the board. Are the goals coming, or are we looking at a cold streak we think will continue?
Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a game preview ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Hurricanes and offered up our keys to victory for how the Oilers can lock in their third win of the season. We then wrapped up the show some betting talk ahead of tonight's matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes. Despite losing their last game against Dallas, the Oilers are favoured against Carolina, and we took our best guesses at the betting lines ahead of what will be a pivotal matchup.
