It’s Friday afternoon, the trade deadline has passed, and now it’s time to recap everything the Edmonton Oilers got done or didn’t get done at the NHL’s annual swap ‘n shop. On today’s show, we discussed the final 10 games of the regular season, team toughness, and much more.

The guys kicked off the podcast with a 15-minute argument about traffic circles as the boys tried anything possible to avoid talking about the Oilers. As you’ll hear, the boys got passionate after calling Jay into the room to share his theory on a specific traffic circle tactic in the west end. Do you agree with Jay’s hack, or are you a traffic circle purist like Baggedmilk?

Turning the show to the Oilers, the guys discussed the final 10 games of the season and how much we care about the results in this final stretch. If the team doesn’t go 0-10, how much does it matter relative to the Oilers’ need to get the team healthy? We also touched on Olivier Rodrigue’s NHL debut that happened on Thursday against the Kraken and how it was a strong performance by the young man despite being thrown in the net in dire circumstances.

Changing gears, we touched on Stuart Skinner’s injury and whether the team in front of him responded adequately. Despite being a throwaway comment by Baggedmilk, the ensuing argument about the lack of team toughness got spicier than expected. As you’ll hear, the boys all had very different ideas about the approach to those situations, and it was fascinating to hear everyone work through the angles.

Finally, we wrapped up the episode with another round of betting talk, Ask the Idiots questions, and our Hot and Cold Performers. Even though the topics were all over the map, the conversation ended up getting a little bit spicier than you’d imagine from our usual Friday segments.
