There’s nothing better than spending your Friday afternoon with a fresh dose of Oilersnation Radio, the podcast dedicated to giving you a weekly hour of all things Edmonton Oilers. This week, we’re discussing Wednesday’s loss to the Stars, new line combinations, the Oilers’ record vs. playoff teams, and more.

Kicking off the podcast, we started with a delicious debate about Wednesday’s loss in Dallas and whether we should be concerned about the way things went against a legitimate Stanley Cup favourite. Seeing as losing 5-0 is a tough pill to swallow at the best of times, but having the boys look so disorganized against a team as good as Dallas was endlessly frustrating.

Changing gears, we looked at the new line combinations that Kris Knoblauch put down at practice today and wondered how the bottom line would fare with McDavid and Draisaitl together on the first line. With the nuclear deterrent now available at the top of the order, it will be hugely important for the rest of the roster to find ways to contribute.

Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a handful of Ask the Idiots questions submitted by listeners, some betting talk for Bet99, and another round of Hot and Cold Performers before winding things down with some score predictions ahead of tonight’s matchup with the Colorado Avalanche.
