The Oilers sign John Klingberg on the heels of two big comeback wins
It's the Friday afternoon after a pair of huge Oilers comeback wins, which meant the boys had plenty to talk about on the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio. This week, the guys discussed the John Klingberg signing, Connor McDavid's goal heater, Noah Philp being recalled, and much more.We started the podcast with a delicious debate about John Klingberg signing a one-year deal with the Oilers this morning and how he fits into the Oilers' lineup. Given that he hasn't played in well over a year, we also wondered what's fair to expect from him as he works his way back into playing shape. We've seen plenty of examples of players missing time early in NHL seasons and taking plenty of time to get back up to speed.Changing gears, we looked at the two comeback wins over the Wild and Avalanche. Obviously, it's great that the Oilers could erase their early deficits and ultimately win the game. Still, it's undoubtedly a problem that they're giving up so many early goals, and they have got to clean up those details and mistakes. Another angle on the issue is: Are the Oilers having an issue with slow starts, or is there something to be said about the ridiculous travel schedule they've had lately?Looking at some of the individual performances that have happened over the last few games, and how some key players are coming up with clutch goals when we need them most. Given that we've always been gagging for secondary scoring, having the Oilers get goals from throughout their lineup is a blessing the team hasn't had in forever. Finally, the boys wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot that featured some Oilers questions about topics you never expected to hear. Needless to say, the boys were all over the map. As always, the fellas gave their best advice whether they were qualified or not. Last but not least, everyone gave their best and worst moments from the last week in another round of Hot and Cold Performers.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Connor McDavid's birthday goal powers Oilers to victory over the Kings
It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the Edmonton Oilers' biggest stories. On this week's podcast, we discussed the NHL playoff format, Monday's win over the Los Angeles Kings, and a whole lot more.We kicked off the Tuesday podcast with a delicious debate about the NHL playoff format and whether it's time for the league to revisit how the post-season is set up. With the current setup in place, the NHL clearly focuses on playoff rivalries more so than if everyone got re-seeded. Still, a conversation at Nation HQ made Baggedmilk wonder if it's time to re-visit the current format, which ultimately prompted the discussion.Returning to the Oilers, we looked back at last night's 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings and how it was one of Edmonton's best defensive outings of the season. Given that only one goal was scored all night, it was crucial to manage the puck carefully to avoid costly errors, and the guys discussed why the Oilers could do that successfully. We also discussed Connor McDavid scoring the game-winner on his 28th birthday and how an incredible second effort by Leon Draisaitl made the whole play possible.Sticking with the news from the past few days, we revisited Jeff Skinner being healthy scratched again and whether there's something to that lineup decision or if Kris Knoblauch went 11/7 to add some size to the lineup with Josh Brown. Given that Skinner was starting to play better, it was surprising for some Oilers fans to see him taking a spot in the press box again. We also looked at the rumour from Darren Dreger that the Oilers could be one of the teams interested in John Klingberg, who is reportedly nearing a return to the NHL.Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about another tough stretch in the Oilers' schedule that's coming up this week. The Oilers were able to handle the last difficult week of the schedule quite well the last time, but it will be much tougher to beat some of those teams for a second time. Either way, we gave our keys to victory regarding what the Oilers need to do to beat the Wild/Avalanche, and what habits they need to flex to make sure it's doable. Either way, the boys were feeling bullish.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365. Whatever the moment, it's Never Ordinary at bet365.

The Oilers stunk in Pittsburgh, Evander Kane got another surgery, and trade rumours
The Oilers suffered a tough loss last night in Pittsburgh, which meant there was plenty to discuss on the Friday episode of ONR. On today's podcast, the boys covered Evander Kane's surgery news, trade deadline rumours, Thursday's loss to the Penguins, and much more. We started the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Evander Kane undergoing another knee surgery. This will delay his rehab from former injuries and the timeline for his return to the lineup. While discussing the Kane situation, the boys became incredibly confused about the cap implications as none of them had a real idea of how this works. So, the question became whether the Oilers played this situation right or not. Did they screw up the whole situation?Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the boys covered a range of topics that have popped up over the last week. From trade rumours starting to pop up to wondering who Stan Bowman may chase at the deadline to reliving the Mattias Ekholm trade, the second segment of the Friday podcast was all over the map. Did the fellas solve anything? Not really. Did they argue about meaningless topics and moments? Absolutely yet. Finally, the boys wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot that featured some Oilers questions about topics you never expected to hear. Needless to say, the boys were all over the map. As always, the fellas gave their best advice whether they were qualified or not.

Trade Targets, new Oilers line combinations, and an eastern road trip
It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the biggest stories relating to the Edmonton Oilers. On this week's podcast, we discussed potential Oilers trade targets, Lauren Kyle opening a new bar in Edmonton, and much more. We kicked off the Tuesday podcast with a delicious debate about Frank Seravalli's new Trade Targets list, which dropped this morning at DailyFaceoff.com. We discussed whether there are any players listed that the Oilers should be interested in acquiring. Given that many Oilers fans would prefer that Stan Bowman acquire some defensive help is that the best approach to the deadline with few trade assets available? Are there any included forwards in Frank's list that would be worthy of exploring?From there, we dove into the past few days around Edmonton and recapped the Oilers' two big wins over the Anaheim Ducks and Seattle Kraken. Given that both teams are below them in the standings, it was interesting to see how much trouble the Ducks keep giving the Oilers even though our side ultimately won the rematch. Does it matter how the wins come if you're collecting two points? We also looked at other topics du jours, including Lauren Kyle's new business venture, Matt Savoie's recent AHL success, and a retirement announcement from an Oiler friend. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about tonight's game against the Boston Bruins. The Oilers were able to beat the Bruins in their first matchup of the season, but it will be much tougher if they're going to sweep the season series. Either way, we gave our keys to victory regarding what the Oilers need to do to beat the Bruins, and what habits they need to shed to make sure it's doable. Either way, the boys were feeling bullish. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

New year, same team, new line combos, and same Edmonton Oilers podcast
The holiday season is behind us, which means it's time to get back to work with a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio. On this week's episode, we discussed Canada's failure at the World Juniors, new line combos at Oilers practice, and much more.Kicking off the Friday episode of ONR, the guys started with a delicious debate about Canada at the World Juniors and how they failed to make it past the quarter-finals for the second straight year. Was it a problem with roster construction? Was it the team's lack of discipline at key moments? Was there bad luck mixed in because no one on the team could score? Was the coaching staff to blame for the lack of accountability? Needless to say, there is plenty of blame to go around after another disappointing season.Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, we discussed the New Year's Eve win over Utah and how refreshing it was to see the Oilers rebound after a pair of tough losses in California. Not only was it an important game to avoid a three-game losing streak, but it was also crucial for the Oilers to put down a statement effort against a team they should probably beat more often than not. That led us to discuss the new line combinations from practice yesterday and whether we think Kris Knoblauch will stick with these new trios for any length of time.We then talked about the recent report that the Oilers will be looking to extend Ty Emberson before the season ends after losing a two young players last summer to offer sheets. Clearly the Oilers want to learn from their mistakes in how Holloway and Broberg were handled means losing young guys can't happen again. Given how Emberson has progressed through the first 35 games of the season, locking him up now makes a world of sense.Finally, the boys wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot that featured some Oilers New Year's questions. As always, the fellas gave their best advice whether they were qualified or not. Last but not least, everyone gave their best and worst moments from the last week in another round of Hot and Cold Performers.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
