Baggedmilk on #theLOCKERROOM: A slow post-break start for the Edmonton Oilers

Happy Wednesday, Internet friends, and welcome to yet another chapter of your ol’ pal Baggedmilk’s adventures in radio. As I do every week, I jumped on the air with the boys on The Locker Room for a quick segment to talk about the Oilers while also offering my takes on anything else that’s going on in the world.

To kick off this week’s segment, we jumped in with a look at last night’s loss to the Vegas Golden Knights and how the Oilers looked like they weren’t really prepared to play. In all three zones on the ice, the Oilers were sloppier than they have been over the last week or so and that made for a frustrating evening for those of us that were watching. Last night’s game also raised the question about whether or not Mike Smith can stay healthy as the veteran netminder appeared to injure himself towards the end of the second period. With no word from the Oilers yet about what happened, we could have yet another goaltending issue on our hands if Smith is out again, but we’ll just have to wait and see what actually went down there. Lastly, we wrapped up the segment with a look at the schedule and whether playing more often will allow the Oilers to finally get into a rhythm after having so many extended breaks as a result of COVID postponements.
