Last night&#8217;s game against the New Jersey Devils was a tough one for the Edmonton Oilers, which meant an irritated cast on the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio. On today&#8217;s podcast, we looked at Connor McDavid&#8217;s recovery, Monday&#8217;s shutout loss to the Devils, a minor-league trade, and more.
We started the Tuesday podcast with a delicious debate about the letter grade everyone would give the Oilers after three games without Connor McDavid in the lineup. With a 2-1-0 record without their captain, the fellas gave their notes on what&#8217;s been happening over the last three games and why they assigned the grades they did.
Changing gears, the conversation turned toward the Oilers&#8217; special teams and how they&#8217;re losing games because of areas where they&#8217;ve been solid historically. Put another way, if ever you were going to make a list of the issues the Oilers might have during the 2024-25 season, there&#8217;s no way anyone would have included the power play.
Getting into the news from the week, we started with a discussion about when Connor McDavid will return to the lineup after being cryptic about whether or not he&#8217;ll be available for Saturday&#8217;s game in Vancouver. Is McDavid coming back the reason that the team loaned Drake Caggiula to the Condors? If McDavid does come back for Saturday&#8217;s game, does that mean Derek Ryan might hit the waiver wire?
Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR by looking ahead to tomorrow&#8217;s matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. One of the weirder things about Vegas&#8217; season is that they&#8217;re currently undefeated at home but have yet to win on the road. It&#8217;s one of the stranger stats you will ever hear, but the goal of the podcast is not just to entertain but also to teach the audience a few things from time to time.
