Is there anything better than a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to recap Canada’s win over the USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off while also previewing tomorrow’s return for the Edmonton Oilers? I didn’t think so. On this week’s podcast, we discussed Connor McDavid’s game-winner over the USA, how excited we are for the Olympics, previewed Saturday’s Oilers game, and much more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a delicious debate about the Canadian Olympic team since we’re only a year out from the next best-on-best tournament and what adjustments we would make to the lineup. Obviously, Team Canada put together an all-star team for the 4 Nations tournament, but does that mean there isn’t room for improvement? As you’ll hear, the boys had different ideas about which adjustments they’d make ahead of next year’s tourney.

Sticking with the 4 Nations Face-Off final, we discussed how the NHL couldn’t have gotten a better two weeks of action despite this being a one-off tournament. Not only did our beloved Connor McDavid win it for overtime, but the engagement surrounding these last two weeks was off the charts. After such an exciting two weeks of hockey, it’s almost going to be a bit of a comedown to get back to the regularly scheduled NHL programming. Even though the regular season won’t be nearly as feisty as what we got from the best-on-best tournament, all of us hope that some of the people who got into hockey because of the tournament will stick with it.

Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk ahead of tomorrow’s contest between the Oilers and Flyers, some Ask the Idiots questions that were all over the board, and finally our Hot and Cold Performers of the week. As always, the final chunk of the podcast was all over the map with an array of topics and side quests.
