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’ disastrous wrap to their pre-Olympic schedule, Leon Draisaitl’s coaching comments, line combos, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Paul Coffey rumours after some rumblings came over the last handful of days that the Oilers could be considering bringing the Hall of Famer back behind the bench. Given how successful the defence was under Coffey’s tenure, the boys on the podcast all believe it would make perfect sense to bring him back and see if he can work magic again.

Shifting gears, the guys looked at the Oilers’ horrible finish before the break and how incredibly frustrating it was to watch them finally land their first three-game win streak of the season, only to give those games right back immediately. That led the boys to wonder if there are more coaching issues than just what’s happening on defence. We also discussed the losses to Toronto and Calgary and how frustrating both results were, given Edmonton’s opportunity to pick up points against struggling teams.

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 past the midway points, 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.
