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’ Pacific Division chase, Connor McDavid’s 50-goal chase, line combinations, injury updates, and more.
We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Connor McDavid, and what is more likely to happen: the captain hits 50 goals or wins another Hart Trophy. Given that Nathan MacKinnon has been the favourite all season long, everybody on the podcast seems to think it’s too late in the season for McDavid to get the attention he deserves. Even though McDavid has gone supernova, there seems to be voter fatigue about Connor winning again.
Shifting gears, Tyler went on a rant about Cole Caufield getting love for scoring a “clean 50” goals without a single empty-netter. As you’ll hear, Caufield’s milestone is being celebrated as unique, but Tyler’s research showed that it actually happens much more often than people might expect. The guys also walked through the latest injury updates for Connor Ingram and Jason Dickison, two players who are expected to be massive pieces of the Oilers’ playoff push.
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 quickly winding down, 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.
