Oilersnation Radio: Connor McDavid gets to 60, the World Cup of Hockey, and the Oilers magic number

The Oilers won five in a row, they have a huge run of games coming, and that means we’ve got plenty to talk about on the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio. This week, we’re talking about Connor McDavid’s 60th goal, the NHLPA survey results, and a whole lot more.

To kick off the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio, we got started with a debate about whether or not Stuart Skinner should garner consideration for the Calder Trophy. Seeing as Stu is basically saving Edmonton’s season, does it not make sense for Skinner to get some love for the Calder based on how this year would be a total disaster without him? Changing gears, we looked back at Wednesday’s win over the Coyotes and specifically Connor McDavid’s 60th goal that came in overtime on a beautiful pass by Leon Draisaitl. For all of us, having Connor score on a feed from Leon was the way this goal had to come along, and it was incredible to see how those two keep connecting on milestones all over the place. Sticking with McDavid and Draisaitl, we also ran through the NHLPA’s player survey that just came out this week and how those two were all over the list when it comes to the league’s best. Changing gears, we then looked at the World Cup of Hockey after Connor McDavid talked about how the players have wanted this to happen for years now, but the NHL just can’t seem to pull it together. Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ON Radio with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold performers to look at the lighter side of the game.
