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’ potential playoff matchups, injury updates, the final regular-season game against Vancouver, and much more.
We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about which of the five potential playoff opponents the boys would rather face in Round 1. Given the list of potential opponents, features Colorado, Anaheim, Utah, Vegas, and Los Angeles, there is a case to be made for any of those teams being the best starting point. But as you’ll hear, the boys really didn’t have a consensus on where they would want Edmonton to start.
Changing gears, the guys discussed what the schedule might look like for Round 1 and took a few guesses on whether the Oilers will start on Saturday, Sunday, or even Monday. Given that the NHL likes to split up the Canadian teams as best they can, the question is whether the Oilers kick off their run on the weekend or have to wait until Monday.
Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk’s Trivia and Tenable. With Liam’s game uniting the fellas for one common goal, the guys put their brains together to try to check off all of the items on the list. Think you know all the answers to Liam’s Tenable game? Easier said than done, friends. Did the quizmaster have to step in? Did Liam get his topic right? You’ll have to listen to find out for sure.
