Oilersnation Radio

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.

Devan Dubnyk is back with another episode of Ask Dubey, coming to you from New Jersey as the Edmonton Oilers gear up for the Stanley Cup Playoffs 🔥

With playoff hockey right around the corner, Dubey dives deep into the Oilers’ biggest question mark: goaltending. Is Connor Ingram the clear-cut starter? Can he handle the pressure of a playoff run? And if things go sideways… who gets the call?

Dubey answers your questions and breaks down:

-Why Connor Ingram has earned the net heading into playoffs
-Whether there’s any risk of burnout down the stretch
-How much leash Ingram will actually have in the postseason
-Who would step in if needed: Tristan Jarry or Calvin Pickard
-Confidence level in Edmonton’s goaltending situation

Plus, Dubey shares his own playoff experience and what it takes mentally and physically to handle the pressure between the pipes.

With stars like Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Evan Bouchard leading the way, expectations are high in Edmonton… but it all comes down to what happens in net.

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 matchup against the Anaheim Ducks, recapping the 2025-26 season predictions, line combinations, injury updates, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how everyone thinks the Oilers' first round will go against the Anaheim Ducks. Starting with our series predictions, all the boys shared their takes on how long they think this series will last and where they think the challenges will be. From maintaining their structure to getting timely goals from throughout the lineup, there are plenty of reasons to believe the Ducks will be more than a pushover.

Shifting gears, the boys recapped their pre-season predictions from back in October. As you'll hear, the crystal balls didn't have much magic in them this year. Despite the laundry list of options, predicting things correctly is almost impossible. Even so, the segment as a whole was a blast as the boys had to realize that they're not all that great at predicting the future. Will their failures at predicting deter the group from trying again? Absolutely not.

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 wrapped up, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, most related to the playoffs, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.
