  • Oilers get record-setting production from their defence
    Jan 27 2026

    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' record-setting run by defencemen, Josh Samanski's NHL debut, and much more.

    We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Josh Samanski's NHL debut, and how everyone thought the undrafted centre fared in his first game as an Oiler. While he played only 7:43 in TOI, Samanski was noticeable in his first game in the bigs, and the boys spent a few minutes talking about how he didn't look out of place. Given that he played two years of pro hockey in Germany, it definitely looked like he was comfortable playing in that third-line role.

    Changing gears, we looked at how the Oilers set two NHL records in Monday's game against the Ducks. Starting with the four goals by defencemen in a span of only 3:49, it was wild to see Edmonton's d-men getting into the rush with that much space as often as they were. From there, we looked at the back-to-back hat tricks by Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm, and how it was the first time in NHL history where two defencemen scored hat tricks in consecutive games.

    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 Devils-related Baggedmilk Trivia questions. Think you know your San Jose Sharks history? This game 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.

  • Why the Oilers Are Finally Getting Elite Goaltending + Is Canadian Goaltending Falling Behind?
    Jan 24 2026

    Ask Dubey is back, and Episode 28 dives into elite goaltending, goalie development, and some big-picture questions around the Edmonton Oilers’ crease.


    Devan Dubnyk kicks things off by breaking down Tristan Jarry’s unreal highlight-reel save, why athletic “street hockey” moments still matter for goalies, and what makes that play so special from a goalie’s perspective. From there, Dubey tackles fan questions ranging from rebound control and goalie pad technology to the state of Canadian goaltending and what the Oilers should do with their goalie situation when everyone is healthy.


    In this episode of Ask Dubey, Devan breaks down:

    • Why Tristan Jarry’s save against New Jersey was so impressive — and how it compares to saves Dubey made in his own career

    • The idea behind modern goalie pads, rebounds, and whether big rebounds are actually a problem

    • Why elite goaltending pipelines seem to be shifting away from Canada

    • The differences in goalie development between Canada, Europe, and the U.S.

    • What the Edmonton Oilers should do with their goalies at full health

    • Why carrying three goalies could actually benefit Edmonton down the stretch


    If you’re a goalie, a die-hard Oilers fan, or someone who loves the details behind how the position is evolving, this episode is for you.

  • Are the Oilers blowing their homestand?
    Jan 23 2026

    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' loss to the Islanders, the end of Connor McDavid's point streak, Edmonton's goaltending dilemma, line combos, and more.


    We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the Oilers are blowing their January homestand. Given that they've lost twice as many home games as they've won, it's hard not to think that Edmonton is dropping the ball on a golden opportunity to make up some ground in the standings.


    Shifting gears, the guys looked at last night's loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins and wondered how much of that loss the boys hung on Tristan Jarry, given that he allowed six goals on the night. While no one is saying Jarry was very good, the reality is that the skaters in front of him were just as bad, if not worse. We also discussed Leon Draisaitl's return to the lineup, and how it was a valiant effort by Drai, considering the heavy week he had and the long travel back from Germany.


    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 stretch drive well underway, 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.

  • Have the Oilers solved their goaltending issue?
    Jan 20 2026

    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 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' 1000th game, back-to-back shutouts, Kasperi Kapanen's injury, and much more.


    We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about when the Oilers might consider talking to Connor Ingram about an extension. Given that our new friend has been playing incredibly well since his recall from Bakersfield, it's fair to wonder whether or when the organization might start thinking about keeping him around for a while. Is it too soon? How much would the boys be willing to offer the goalie in a new contract?


    Changing gears, we looked at Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' 1000th game that happened at Rogers Place on Thursday night, and how the team did a fantastic job paying tribute to their longest serving player. From the pre-game ceremony to scoring the eventual game winner, it was a wonderful night at Rogers Place and one the guys were thrilled to discuss. Changing gears, the boys looked at the Andrew Mangiapane situation and whether or not there's any way the Oilers can save the relationship. Is that even in the cards?


    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 Devils-related Baggedmilk Trivia questions. Think you know your New Jersey history? This game 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.

  • Connor McDavid's 20-Game Streak is INSANE + Career-Best Saves Breakdown
    Jan 17 2026

    Ask Dubey episode 29 is here and Devan Dubnyk is diving into some awesome stories and NHL insight. This week, Dubey talks about what it’s really like playing in drastically different hockey markets, relives some of his career-best saves, and reacts to Connor McDavid’s insane 20-game point streak.


    From the pressure of Canadian markets to the vibe in smaller NHL cities, Dubnyk breaks down how market size changes everything for players, goalies, and teams. He also walks us through a few of his most memorable saves and what’s going through a goalie’s mind in those high-pressure moments.


    Then, it’s all about Connor McDavid. Dubnyk gives a goalie’s perspective on trying to stop a player on a 20-game point streak, what makes McDavid so dangerous every single night, and how rare this kind of run really is in today’s NHL.

  • Oilers get goalie'd, goaltending decisions, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' 1000th game
    Jan 16 2026

    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' loss to the Islanders, the end of Connor McDavid's point streak, Edmonton's goaltending dilemma, line combos, and more.

    We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' goaltending situation and tried to figure out how the team will solve it. Given that carrying three goaltenders is less than ideal, the organization will eventually have to make a decision. Given how well Ingram has played since being recalled, it seems completely unlikely that Connor Ingram will be the one to go, but it's clear that the organization still respects what Calvin Pickard has done in his time here.

    Shifting gears, the guys looked at last night's loss to the New York Islanders, and Ilya Sorokin absolutely robbed them of two points by standing on his head. Given how well New York's goalie played, it's almost impossible to be too upset about the result, but that didn't stop the boys from being slightly annoyed anyway. They also discussed Andrew Mangiapane being a healthy scratch again and looked at what it will take to get him either in the mix or out of the market.

    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 now past the halfway mark, 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.

  • "You can't win if you don't lead"
    Jan 13 2026

    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 Connor McDavid's heater, Tristan Jarry and Jake Walman's return, Quinn Hutson's new contract, and much more.


    We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about why the Oilers can't seem to win three games in a row, despite having eight chances to do so. While it's not a big deal because the team is winning more games than it loses, it is bizarre that the Oilers can't seem to string wins together. For an additional delicious debate, we looked at Edmonton's goaltending situation and took a few swings at when the three-headed monster situation will be resolved.


    Changing gears, we looked at last night's 4-1 win over Chicago and gave Connor Ingram the flowers he deserves for a fantastic performance between the pipes. Despite the scoreline ending as a three-goal Oilers win, the result would have been much different without Ingram's brilliance. We also discussed Connor McDavid's 19-game point streak and how this run has been so dominant that every other team is dying to find out how to stop him.


    Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk's Trivia. With Dan on vacation and none of the other boys coming up with anything, the guys went back to old faithful with a round of Predators-related questions. Did the quizmaster have to step in and get involved? Did Baggedmilk get his questions right? You'll have to listen to find out for sure.

  • Inside a Goalie’s Mind: Pro Athlete Mental Struggles & Dealing With Anxiety
    Jan 10 2026

    Ask Dubey episode 28 is here, and we’re going deep into the mental side of being a pro athlete. Devan Dubnyk opens up about the real mental struggles of being an NHL goalie, how anxiety shows up in high-pressure moments, and what finally changed the way he approached the game between the ears.


    Dubnyk also weighs in on Connor McDavid’s ridiculous post-Christmas heater and how the Edmonton Oilers have been playing since the break.


    In this episode of Ask Dubey, Devan breaks down:

    • The moment that completely changed how he approached the mental side of goaltending

    • How his mindset shifted after his time in Edmonton and how his game grew because of it

    • The reality of performance anxiety as a goalie and why it hits different in the crease

    • Practical ways players and goalies can deal with anxiety and pressure on and off the ice

    • Why mental preparation, routines, and self-talk matter just as much as physical training

    • His thoughts on Connor McDavid’s major heater and the Oilers’ play after the Christmas break


    If you’re a goalie, a player, or just a fan who’s curious about what’s really going on behind the mask, this one’s for you.
