Oilersnation Radio

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' first-round exit, what changes to expect in Edmonton, line combinations, injury updates, and more.
We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether the boys were more frustrated or sad after the Oilers got kicked out of the playoffs in the first round. After making it to the Stanley Cup Final the past two seasons, it's hard to make sense of what went wrong for a team that had much higher expectations for itself. As a second delicious debate, the boys discussed whether Kris Knoblauch will be behind the bench when the 2026-27 season kicks off.
Shifting gears, the boys looked at some of the decisions the Oilers made throughout the year, and how some of the moves turned out okay, while others have been complete disasters. Starting with the coaching, the boys wondered whether Kris Knoblauch will be behind the bench when the next season kicks off. Given that there are some quality coaches currently available, would the Oilers want to pull the trigger on that move early to leave their options open? Or will they bring back for another tour, given that his contract extension just kicks in this year?
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 playoffs firmly underway, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, most related to the Oilers' off-season, some not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

Oilersnation Radio is back with another episode as the guys break down a massive moment for the Edmonton Oilers and try to make sense of where things have gone wrong.

It starts with a delicious debate before diving into the blame board — who deserves the most heat right now? From injuries to inconsistent goaltending and coaching decisions, nothing is off the table.

The conversation also touches on the emotional side behind the bench (because what coach doesn’t get upset with the refs?), while giving credit where it’s due — you can’t disrespect the Ducks and the way they’ve been playing.

Despite the situation, there’s still some belief. The Oilers haven’t quit, and this is a team that’s battled back before. The challenge now? Finding the right angle, picking the right starter, and managing ice time properly.

They also go around the league, get into some betting talk, and wrap things up with score predictions.

Devan Dubnyk is back with the first playoff edition of Ask Dubey, breaking down the Edmonton Oilers’ start to the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
After a split in the first two games against the Anaheim Ducks, Dubey dives into what he’s liked, what needs to improve, and why there’s still another level coming from this Oilers team. From Connor Ingram’s steady play in net, to Leon Draisaitl stepping up, and Connor McDavid still searching for his top gear, there’s plenty to unpack early in this series.
Dubnyk also answers your questions on the biggest differences between regular season and playoff hockey, how Anaheim has managed to slow down Edmonton’s stars, and whether there’s any chance of a change in goal.
The playoffs are just getting started—and if the Oilers can clean things up, things could get scary for the Ducks.

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' first two games against the Anaheim Ducks, what needs to change in Game 3, line combinations, injury updates, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how concerned everyone is about the Oilers' inconsistent play through the first two games of the series. While there have absolutely been moments where the team looked solid, the moments where Edmonton's play has dipped have been brutal. It's those lulls when the Oilers' play falters that have been the biggest problems the team has so far.

Shifting gears, the boys took a few minutes to talk about the dude who threw the chicken/duck on the ice during the third period, and how it was one of the dumbest decisions anyone could have made. Not only was it dumb to throw something on the ice during the play, but doing it at a moment when the Oilers were buzzing was basically unforgivable. From there, the boys looked at the special teams disaster through the first two games and what the team can do to try to remedy that problem.

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 playoffs firmly underway, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, most related to the playoffs, some not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

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' Game 1 win over the Anaheim Ducks, Jason Dickinson's brilliant playoff opener, and more.

We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether the Ducks can hang with the Oilers after the visitors dominated the second period. While the Oilers had a fantastic start to the game, they really took their foot off the gas in the middle frame and nearly allowed the Ducks to steal one. While no one wanted to disrespect Anaheim, the boys thought the Oilers showed why their experience matters.

Shifting gears, the boys dug into the details from last night's game, and how it was almost a tale of three games, depending on which period you're talking about. Starting with Edmonton's power play struggles, it was strange to see the boys struggle as mightily as they did with the full group back together. The good news is they'll likely be better than in Game 1. The guys also discussed Anaheim's settling into a hybrid trap system that wasn't really what they were doing for most of the season.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with a look at a run of different stories, including Adam Henrique going down in the first period, and what that means for the lineup going forward. The boys also looked around the NHL at the other playoff series and picked out some of the biggest storylines through the first few games.

Whether it's some of the upsets in Game 1, likelihood of rebounding, or anything in between, there was a lot to discuss on the Tuesday episode of ONR.
