It’s Tuesday afternoon, and there’s a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today’s episode, the guys discussed the Oilers’ record against the best teams, Connor McDavid’s Players’ Tribune article, Calvin Pickard clearing waivers, and much more.
We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how concerned everyone is that the Oilers can’t seem to beat the best teams in the Western Conference. If you look at the six games played against Colorado, Dallas, and Minnesota, the Oilers earned only a single point out of a possible 12. As you’ll hear, some of the boys are more concerned about the trend than others, but the reality is that the numbers are the numbers, and right now they’re not very good.
Changing gears, we looked at Connor McDavid’s Players’ Tribune article and noted that the title “Dear Canada” could have been a love letter to Edmonton. Turning back to the Oilers, we looked at Calvin Pickard clearing waivers this week, and what that means for the team’s goaltending depth going forward. The guys also discussed the Artemi Panarin rumours after David Pagnotta reported on Oilersnation Everyday that the Oilers could be in the mix for the sniper.
Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk’s Trivia. With none of the other boys coming up with anything new, the guys went back to old faithful with a round of Devils-related Baggedmilk Trivia questions. Think you know your Toronto Maple Leafs history? This game was for you. Did the quizmaster have to step in? Did Baggedmilk get his questions right? You’ll have to listen to find out for sure.
