Oilersnation Radio

Team Canada is rolling, Olympic hockey is officially underway, and the goalie conversations are already heating up.

On this week’s episode of Ask Dubey, Dubey kicks things off with thoughts on Canada’s dominant win over Czechia, including a look at the power play, early chemistry, and the stars doing what stars do — from Connor McDavid to Sidney Crosby. But the real spotlight quickly turns to the position everyone loves to debate: goaltending.

Dubey breaks down how John Cooper perfectly handled the goalie conversation, why comparing today’s goalies to legends of the past isn’t fair, and why confidence — not panic — is the right approach for Team Canada moving forward.

From there, it’s classic Ask Dubey, answering listener questions on:
• Why the first goalie off the ice is the starter
• Whether coaches ever try to “hide” their starting goalie
• If the Oilers could realistically make another goalie trade
• Why rushing young goalies into a Stanley Cup expectation is dangerous
• Giving Tristan Jarry time to settle in after a major trade
• How breaks can help goalies reset mentally and personally
• And the importance of patience with goalie tandems

The episode wraps with a fun, old-school hockey story as Dubey shares one of his favourite routines (not superstitions 😏) from his playing days — featuring a scale, a water bottle, and a nickname that got way out of hand.

It's Friday 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 at the Winter Games, Connor McDavid's debut, line combinations, Calvin Pickard's treatment, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Calvin Pickard getting waived unfairly after his agent spoke to Jason Gregor and suggested the team didn't make the right decision. If you take Rich Winter at his word, Stan Bowman isn't even sure that Pickard isn't the best goalie he has right now, but does that really make sense given the team's decision? The numbers would suggest not.

Shifting gears, the guys looked at Team Canada's first couple of games on the men's side and how much fun it's been to watch NHLers back on the ice representing their country. From the way Team Canada blew out Czechia in their first game to the way they're handling Switzerland today, getting to watch the best of the best squaring off for their countries is so much fun. The guys also spoke about Sidney Crosby as an elder statesmen on the team, and how Baggedmilk wishes Connor McDavid could be tethered to him for the three weeks they're away.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the 2025-26 season past the midway points, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

Oilers trade rumours and Baggedmilk's Olympic trivia
It's Tuesday afternoon, and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today's episode, the guys discussed the Oilers at the Olympics, Team Canada's line combinations, a potential trade idea for Andrew Mangiapane, and much more.

We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the L.A. Dodgers and how the odds for them to win the NL West in the MLB are so heavily skewed that it almost doesn't make sense to bet on. That led to a similar conversation about whether Canada vs. USA is a lock to meet in the men's finals, and whether being the two best teams in the tournament on paper means this will be the matchup.

Changing gears, we looked at the line combinations for Team Canada on the men's side. Given that Team Canada is pretty close to icing an all-star team, it was fun to hear the boys' thoughts on who will be playing where. They also looked at the advanced betting lines ahead of Thursday's game against Czechia and how everyone thinks the team will fare despite the different style of hockey played in international tournaments.

Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk's Trivia. With none of the other boys coming up with anything new, the guys went back to old faithful with a round of Olympics-related Baggedmilk Trivia questions. Think you know your Olympic Winter Games history? This round of trivia was for you. Did the quizmaster have to step in? Did Baggedmilk get his questions right? You'll have to listen to find out for sure.

Ask Dubey is back for episode 32!

Before diving into your Oilers questions, Dubey reacts to the wild Stadium Series matchup between the Lightning and Bruins — including an old-school goalie fight at center ice between Jeremy Swayman and Andrei Vasilevskiy. A rare sight, even rarer that both goalies stayed in the game. Dubey breaks down why moments like that fire everyone up, and why goalie fights are still such a tricky situation in today’s NHL.

From there, it’s straight into your questions. Who’s really to blame in a blowout — the goalie or the team in front of him? Can players mentally drift with the Olympics right around the corner? And of course, the big one Oilers fans are debating right now: did Edmonton make a mistake trading for Tristan Jarry?

Dubey gives a calm, honest breakdown of the Oilers’ goaltending situation, why the Skinner change needed to happen, and why fans shouldn’t be riding the emotional roller coaster on a game-to-game basis. Perspective, context, and goalie logic — all in one episode.

It's Friday 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' disastrous wrap to their pre-Olympic schedule, Leon Draisaitl's coaching comments, line combos, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Paul Coffey rumours after some rumblings came over the last handful of days that the Oilers could be considering bringing the Hall of Famer back behind the bench. Given how successful the defence was under Coffey's tenure, the boys on the podcast all believe it would make perfect sense to bring him back and see if he can work magic again.
Shifting gears, the guys looked at the Oilers' horrible finish before the break and how incredibly frustrating it was to watch them finally land their first three-game win streak of the season, only to give those games right back immediately. That led the boys to wonder if there are more coaching issues than just what's happening on defence. We also discussed the losses to Toronto and Calgary and how frustrating both results were, given Edmonton's opportunity to pick up points against struggling teams.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week that was. With the 2025-26 season past the midway points, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.
