Oilersnation Radio: NHL DoPS ridiculousness and a Game 5 preview

The Oilers are back in Las Vegas for Game 5 after tying the series at two apiece on Wednesday night, which means we’ve got plenty to talk about on the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio.

To kick off the latest edition of Oilersnation Radio, we got started with a debate about the suspensions of Darnell Nurse and Alex Pietrangelo. As you’ll hear, while we may not all share the same opinion what is consistent between all of us is that the NHL screwed this decision up royally. Changing gears, we dug into some of the numbers from Game 4 and how it was a much better effort by the Oilers from the crease outward. Whether it was Stuart Skinner’s steady performance in net or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins picking up his first goal of the playoffs, the Oilers picked up a bunch of key performances on a night when they absolutely needed them. Next up, we looked ahead at Game 5 and what the Oilers need to do to make sure they don’t fall apart after a big win as they did in Game 3. Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold performers to recap the week and make sense of the world around us.
