It’s Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today’s podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers’ first two games against the Anaheim Ducks, what needs to change in Game 3, line combinations, injury updates, and more.
We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how concerned everyone is about the Oilers’ inconsistent play through the first two games of the series. While there have absolutely been moments where the team looked solid, the moments where Edmonton’s play has dipped have been brutal. It’s those lulls when the Oilers’ play falters that have been the biggest problems the team has so far.
Shifting gears, the boys took a few minutes to talk about the dude who threw the chicken/duck on the ice during the third period, and how it was one of the dumbest decisions anyone could have made. Not only was it dumb to throw something on the ice during the play, but doing it at a moment when the Oilers were buzzing was basically unforgivable. From there, the boys looked at the special teams disaster through the first two games and what the team can do to try to remedy that problem.
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 that was. With the playoffs firmly underway, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, most related to the playoffs, some not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.
