Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is ready to carry you through the weekend. This week, we discussed Friday’s win against the Predators, Noah Philp’s NHL debut, and a whole lot more.

The boys started the Friday episode of ONR with a conversation about last night’s win against the Nashville Predators and how it was an incredible effort by the McDavid-less Oilers at a moment when they needed it. Starting with how Leon Draisaitl handled his business, life without the captain gets much easier if their second-best player can step up the way he did. The guys also discussed the fisticuffs that happened with Podkolzin and Emberson, each dropping the mitts, and how those fights did a great job of sparking the team.

Sticking with last night’s win, the boys gave their first impressions of how Noah Philp looked in his first NHL game and how great it was to see him pick up his first assist. Yet, even though everyone loves how he played, it’s important to remember that he’s an older prospect and that the ceiling may not be as sky-high as some people think. If he can stick in the lineup and lock down the 4C spot, wouldn’t that be good enough?

Finally, we wrapped the podcast up by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots that covered some Oilers talk and some nonsense mixed in there as well. From there, the fellas dove into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that’s happened over the last seven days. Needless to say, this week’s episode had plenty of hockey talk mixed with a little bit of nonsense.
