Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to be enjoyed. On today’s podcast, the fellas discussed the Edmonton Oilers’ series win over the Dallas Stars, depth scoring, Pete DoBoer yanking Jake Oettinger, a Florida Panthers rematch, and much more.
We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about why this year will end with a different result than last year. Whether it’s their experience in these moments, better depth scoring, and an increase in defensive puck movement, everyone on the podcast thinks this team isn’t particularly close to being the same club that faced Florida a year ago. As bullish as everyone is about the Oilers’ chances, we also paid our respects to a Florida club that is undoubtedly very good.
Looking back at Game 5, we started the recap conversation from the series win over Dallas with a chat about Pete DeBoer’s decision to pull Jake Oettinger and then sewer him in his post-game presser. Are those the actions and words of a coach that will be back next year? From there, we discussed the Oilers’ depth coming through again in Game 5 and how it represents a major upgrade in the postseason over anything we’ve seen before.
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. After punching their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode talking about why we should feel confident heading into this rematch against Florida, and how the Oilers are a much different hockey team this time around.
