It's finally time for the Oilers' season opener

It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' 6-2 win over the Mammoth, injury updates, looked at the upcoming road trip, line combinations, and more.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of ONR is ready to wrap up the week with another round of Edmonton Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' attendance issues, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl's power-play usage, Vasily Podkolzin's impact alongside the team's superstars, and what Edmonton needs from its regulars moving forward. Plus, they looked at who could lead the NHL in goals this season and broke down some hot and cold performers around the league. We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate before diving into the Oilers' ice time and whether certain players could be seeing more minutes throughout games. From there, the conversation shifted to attendance at Rogers Place, with the guys discussing the empty seats at recent Oilers games and what the organization can do to get more fans through the doors. With ticket prices and fan experience always part of the conversation, how can Edmonton make sure the building is packed night after night? Shifting gears, the guys turned their attention to the power play and the frustration surrounding McDavid and Draisaitl not getting enough opportunities to produce. Are the Oilers taking away one of their best weapons by limiting their time on the man advantage? The guys also discussed the importance of picking your spots, the return of David Perron, and whether Podkolzin is helping McDavid and Draisaitl become even more dangerous. Plus, they looked at which regulars need to give the team more and took a look at who could finish the season as the NHL's leading goal scorer. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another edition of Ask the Idiots before getting into a discussion about the league's hottest and coldest performers. With plenty of questions surrounding the Oilers' lineup, power play, and attendance, the guys had no shortage of topics to debate heading into the weekend. As always, nothing is off the table when the boys get together for another episode of Oilersnation Radio.

It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of ONR is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' 3-1 win over the Sharks, Connor McDavid's TOI, looked at Tuesday's matchup against the Kings, line combinations, and more. We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Connor McDavid's TOI, and whether he's still playing too many minutes despite the plan being to change that. With all of the injuries in the lineup right now, it makes sense that McDavid is playing more minutes than you'd probably want. That said, it is also reasonable to assume that this total will drop once the likes of Nugent-Hopkins, Hyman, and Savoie are able to play. Shifting gears, the guys turned the podcast to how the Oilers are playing defensively these days, and how it's strange to watch them pay so much attention to the defensive details. While the non-pond hockey style they're playing might be a little boring to watch, what's most interesting is how they keep finding ways to win. As much as you'd still want a bit more offence at times, there are countless items to appreciate about the way our boys are executing. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk before wrapping up the podcast with a round of Tenable and score predictions ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Kings. With the first momnth of the 2026-27 season well under way, the boys had plenty to talk about after what was a wild ride for the Edmonton Oilers. Either way, the NHL is back and there is nothing better than the start of a fresh hockey season.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of in-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' California road trip, Tristan Jarry getting back in the net, the Saturday's matchup against San Jose, line combinations, and more. We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how the Oilers will build their lineup after guys start getting healthy. Given that there are four more players inching towards their return, the guys worked through the options and tried to figure out how the lineup will take shape. Of course, not all of these guys are going to come back at the same time, which makes the exercise a bit of a crap shoot but still fun nonetheless.

It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' 3-1 win over Seattle, injury updates, looked at the upcoming road trip, line combinations, and more. We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' upcoming California road trip, and what the team needs to do against three Pacific Division rivals. Whether it's consistent goaltending or doing a better job taking care of their own end, the most important thing the boys could do is take care of the small details. As you'll hear, the boys started on the delicious debate before being immediately distracted by Gavin McKenna's early struggles in Toronto. Shifting gears, the guys turned the podcast to the Oilers' line combos after news came out yesterday that Jason Dickinson is nearing a return. Obviously, having him back in the lineup would be huge news for Edmonton's defensive game and penalty kill, provided that he actually gets back on the ice. The guys also discussed Devon Levi's bounce back performance against the Kraken, and how that performance rightfully earned him a third straight start. The guys also looked at the trade talk surrounding the Oilers that the team is interested in trading one of their extra defencemen in a lateral move for a forward. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk before wrapping up the podcast with a round of Baggedmilk's Trivia and score predictions ahead of the California trip.

Either way, the NHL is back and there is nothing better than the start of a fresh hockey season.
