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.
