It's Tuesday afternoon and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the NHL regular season is just around the corner because we're back to two podcasts per week. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' first road trip of the year, Baggedmilk's trivia, season predictions, and much more.

Oilers heading out for first road trip of the NHL season

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about what the Oilers need to do on their first road trip of the season to call it a successful run through the East. Given that the Oilers are supposed to be one of the best teams in the NHL, the guys all had very different ideas of what the Oilers need to do to be considered a success. The tricky part of predicting results on an early road trip like this is that teams are still so sloppy early in the year, creating opportunities for unexpected results.

Changing gears, the guys looked back at the Oilers' 3-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks, and how that game was far more lopsided than the score probably suggested. As much as it was frustrating in the moment, it was hard not to be impressed by how well Thatcher Demko played and how he was the only reason this wasn't a blowout. The guys also discussed the $2500 fine issued against Tyler Myers for sticking Connor McDavid in the pills, and how a value like that is meaningless for a player who's made $90 million in his career. We also discussed the new line combinations that are set for Tuesday's matchup vs. the Rangers.

Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of season predictions for the 2025-26 NHL season, including some additional goal totals, head-to-heads, and anything else we could think about to build out what we started last week. From team goal predictions to Pacific Division standings to how many starts Stuart Skinner will make this season, the end of the first Tuesday episode of ONR was as fun as it was all over the map.

It's Saturday Morning, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' season opener, Friday's matchup against the Canucks, line combos, and much more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about why the NHL doesn't have any games scheduled on the first Friday of the schedule. While this delicious debate was mostly to annoy Liam, it did give him the opportunity to rant about his hatred of the schedule. As for the real delicious debate, Tyler wanted to know what everyone's take was on Stuart Skinner's season opener after the Oilers' goaltender finds himself back in the crosshairs after a tough finish against the Flames.

Changing gears, the guys discussed everything that's happened over the last few days, starting with Mattias Ekholm's three-year contract extension. Despite everyone being excited that Big Viking Daddy is sticking around, they did have a healthy conversation about whether the term for someone his age is too long or not. They also discussed the other extensions that have happened around the league this week, and whether Bill Guerin looks at some of those deals and regrets the big ticket for Kirill Kaprizov.

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. With the start of the 2025-26 season under way, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode discussing a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that’s what happens at this stage of the new year.

Ask Dubey episode 17 is live!

With the NHL season kicking off, Devan breaks down the start of the Oilers season and what Connor McDavid's extension means to the NHL and the Oilers.

Dubey gave his thoughts on the impact of a goalie tandem and how it can change, how long it takes to design a mask and who Dubey has worked with, why stopping a lot of low quality shots will always be easier than one high quality shot, and was Jordan Eberle's goal the nicest first NHL goal he's ever seen?
