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' season opener, Thursday's matchup against the Islanders, line combos, and much more.
We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the start of the Oilers' road trip through the first two games in New York. While the Oilers did beat the Rangers, it wasn't exactly their best performance. When it came to the Islanders, the boys made so many mistakes that it would have almost been a miracle had they been able to pull off the win. The good news is that many of the errors that led to that loss are fixable, and the boys all expect the team to be better going forward.
Continuing with the breakdown of Thursday's loss, the boys wanted to give Stuart Skinner some love for his work last night even though the stats would suggest he wasn't as good as he was. Had it not been for Skinner, that loss to the Islanders would have been way worse than it ended up. From there, we offered our first impressions on Jack Roslovic. Even though he's only played two games with Edmonton so far, it's tough to get an accurate read on the player when he's trying to get up to speed after missing training camp and the pre-season.
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 2025-26 season underway, 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.
