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 round matchup against the Anaheim Ducks, recapping the 2025-26 season predictions, line combinations, injury updates, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how everyone thinks the Oilers’ first round will go against the Anaheim Ducks. Starting with our series predictions, all the boys shared their takes on how long they think this series will last and where they think the challenges will be. From maintaining their structure to getting timely goals from throughout the lineup, there are plenty of reasons to believe the Ducks will be more than a pushover.

Shifting gears, the boys recapped their pre-season predictions from back in October. As you’ll hear, the crystal balls didn’t have much magic in them this year. Despite the laundry list of options, predicting things correctly is almost impossible. Even so, the segment as a whole was a blast as the boys had to realize that they’re not all that great at predicting the future. Will their failures at predicting deter the group from trying again? Absolutely not.

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 2025-26 season wrapped up, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, most related to the playoffs, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.
