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 losing four of their last five games they should have won, Darnell Nurse chatter, Paul Coffey, playing soft, line combos, and much more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about which Nation staffer you would trust to perform surgery if a surgeon were unavailable. As you’ll hear, a lot of the staff would trust Baggedmilk to get the job done. As for the real delicious debate, the guys looked back at the losses from the week and tried to figure out how much frustration everyone is feeling about the results.

Shifting gears to the Edmonton Oilers, the guys started the discussion with a look at goaltending and how it’s impossible to praise the goaltender when they play well, given how the season has gone so far. While Calvin Pickard played well against the Tampa Bay Lightning, there were still a bunch of Oilers fans who did not give him any credit despite his best performance of the season.

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 more than 25% complete, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode discussing a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that’s what happens when the team is playing as poorly as they are right now.
