Oilersnation Radio

The Oilers are scoring goals — but keeping the puck out of the net has been the bigger challenge lately.

On this week’s episode of Ask Dubey, Dubey opens the show by breaking down Edmonton’s recent stretch of games following the Olympic break, including a massive comeback win over Ottawa and a monster performance from Leon Draisaitl, who put up five points in the victory.

But the bigger conversation quickly shifts to what Oilers fans are watching closely right now: goaltending and team defense. Dubey explains why defensive inconsistencies and goaltending struggles are showing up at the same time — and why it’s something the team needs to clean up before the playoffs.

From there, Dubey answers listener questions on everything from the decline in NHL save percentages to the challenges goalies face in today’s high-skill, offense-driven league.

The episode also dives into:
• Why scoring chances in today’s NHL are more dangerous than ever
• Whether Dubey could realistically come out of retirement for a playoff run
• Tips for minor hockey coaches trying to help develop young goalies
• Who should start Game 1 of the playoffs for Edmonton
• Why both the team and the goalies share responsibility for defensive struggles

As always, it’s a mix of goalie insight, Oilers talk, and behind-the-scenes perspective from someone who’s been in the crease at the NHL level.

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' moves at the NHL Trade Deadline, previewed Friday's game against Carolina, line combinations, trade targets, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the Oilers got enough done at the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline. Given that Stan Bowman's work all got done in the days leading up to the deadline, it's fair to wonder whether the Oilers added enough to keep up with the rest of the Western Conference. At the same time, one could argue that Bowman addressed some major roster holes despite the deals being relatively minor.

Shifting gears, the guys looked at what is going to be a very tough handful of games for the Oilers, as they kick off a run of four against the Hurricanes, Golden Knights, and Stars. If ever there was a run of measuring stick games on the post-deadline schedule, this next week has to be it. While many Oilers fans were hoping for more, it's hard to argue that Bowman didn't pull trigger on a handful of players who could help plug some holes.

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 entering the stretch drive, 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.

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 Connor Murphy trade with Chicago, the Oilers' goal troubles, previewed Tuesday's matchup against the Senators, and much more.
We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how many other trades Stan Bowman can get done between now and Friday's trade deadline. While the Oilers may not have a ton of cap space available, the Connor Murphy trade showed that Bowman can get creative when it comes to moving his money around, and he'll need to do more of that in the coming days if he plans to find further upgrades.

Changing gears, the guys looked at some of the news and transactions that have happened over the last week, including Andrew Mangiapane and Alec Regula clearing waivers. Seeing the Bread Man go through waivers is an unbelievable plot twist on what has been a rough go between the player and organization, and it will be fascinating to see what/if anything happens with him over the coming days. The guys also discussed the Oilers' dreadful run of defensive play over the last couple of games and wondered how much our new Connor can help stop the bleeding.

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 Senators-related Baggedmilk Trivia questions. Think you know your Oilers vs. Senators 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.

Olympic heartbreak, goaltending pressure, and the Oilers’ search for consistency — it’s all on this week’s episode of Ask Dubey.

In this post-Olympic edition, Dubey opens with his thoughts on Canada’s loss in the gold medal game. From running into Connor Hellebuyck to the coin-flip nature of three-on-three overtime, he breaks down what went wrong — and why the lack of secondary scoring was the biggest surprise. Despite the disappointment, Dubey explains why Canada still played a dominant game and why Jordan Binnington did exactly what he was brought there to do.

From there, it’s classic Ask Dubey, diving into your questions about the Oilers’ goaltending situation and the rest of the NHL season.

This week’s topics include:

• Why some goalies thrive after leaving Edmonton
• Whether a reunion with Stuart Skinner is realistic
• The pressure of playing net in a market like Edmonton
• What a “successful” remainder of the season looks like for the Oilers goalies
• The importance of timely saves vs. highlight-reel stops
• Why consistency has been missing compared to past seasons
• And whether this team just needs one big heater to feel dominant again

Dubey gives honest insight into the mental side of goaltending, how narratives build in Canadian markets, and why sometimes a change of scenery is exactly what a player needs.

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' post-Olympic return, Connor McDavid's latest 100-point season, the NHL Trade Deadline, line combinations, trade targets, and more.
We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether Thursday's 8-1 win over L.A. helped everyone get over the 6-5 loss to the Ducks the night before. Aside from Rick feeling fine about both results, the rest of the boys were notably upset about the blown opportunity against Anaheim. That said, the Oilers are so inconsistent right now that it's hard to imagine how back-to-back games could end so differently.

Shifting gears, the guys looked at Tristan Jarry's struggles between the pipes and how his first couple of months as an Oiler have been anything but uplifting. That led to a conversation about how Kris Knoblauch should handle his goaltending rotation. Should the Oilers lean on Connor Ingram in the short term as the starter while Jarry works his way back up to form? We also ran through some of the Edmonton-related rumours heading into the trade deadline and whether any names tied to the Oilers might make sense.

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 entering the stretch drive, 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.
