Tuesday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is set to massage your ear feelings. On the Tuesday edition of the podcast, the guys discussed the Edmonton Oilers’ series comeback, what to expect from Game 5, Leon Draisaitl’s dominance, and much more.
The boys started the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about Rick Tocchet being out as head coach in Vancouver after the team released a statement that said they’ve parted ways, only a year after he won Coach of the Year. Getting into the regularly scheduled programming, we looked back at Kris Knoblauch’s decision not to challenge Warren Foegele’s goal in Game 4. As you’ll hear, the boys were split on the play.
Looking back at Game 4, we started the review by discussing Leon Draisaitl’s brilliance. Not only did he register four points in a critical game, but he also extended his postseason point streak against the Kings to 18 games. In that stretch, Draisaitl has amassed an unbelievable 35 points. The guys also discussed Evan Bouchard’s incredible run of postseason offence, which ranks him second only to Bobby Orr in league history.
Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a run of betting talk for our friends at bet365, Knoblauch’s decision to roll with Calvin Pickard, keys to victory in Game 5, and offered a few reasons why everyone should believe the Oilers can get the job done. As you’ll hear, the boys are feeling bullish about the Oilers’ chances to get the job done, but that will only happen if the boys can bring the same effort that saw them take over Game 4.
