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’ coaching interviews, changes in Edmonton, the Conference Finals, line combinations, and more.
We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about which Oilers-related story is most annoying on social media right now. Whether it’s talking about the goaltending, Connor McDavid’s contract, or how the Oilers’ Cup window is closing, there is so much noise around the team that the boys are tired of listening to. But with the summer just getting started, the chances of any of this noise going away are next to zero.
Shifting gears, the boys looked at the latest rumblings in the Oilers’ coaching search, even though literally nothing has happened. With Vegas still refusing to give Edmonton permission to speak to Bruce Cassidy, the boys discussed if there are any other names that would be suitable Plan Bs if Cassidy doesn’t work out. Either way, the story lingering continues to be annoying given that it has since come out that this is the second time Vegas has done this to the Oilers.
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 conference finals underway, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, most related to the Oilers’ needs for the off-season, some not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.
