It’s Tuesday 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’ post-season pressers, the Dynamic Duo’s scathing comments, free agency, injury updates, and more.
We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how concerned everyone was about the post-season press conferences, given that the Dynamic Duo didn’t exactly pull punches with their answers. From the team not being good enough to even taking steps backward, the messaging from the Oilers’ best players was as blunt as you could get. Needless to say, when Draisaitl and McDavid speak as honestly as they do, Edmonton’s management desperately needs to take notice.
Shifting gears, the boys called David Quadrelli from Canucksarmy to see if they could pitch him a trade proposal live on the podcast, with the Oilers sending Tristan Jarry or Darnell Nurse to Vancouver to clear cap space. As you’ll hear, some of the boys’ ideas were well received by Quads, while others were shot down almost immediately. They also discussed the Oilers’ coaching situation after news came out of Tampa Bay that Jon Cooper isn’t going anywhere, ruining the dreams the guys started on Friday’s episode.
Finally, we wrapped up the episode of the podcast with another round of betting talk for our friends at bet365, and a round of Tenable about the World Championships to add a little levity after a very annoying week. With the playoff run wrapped up and cut short, the boys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, most related to the playoffs, some not, but that’s the way things go on the off-season episodes of ONR.
