Description

Another work week is in the books and that means another episode of Oilersnation Radio is here to get you set up for the weekend. This week, we looked at the Oilers road trip that just wrapped up, Josh Archibald's two-year extension, line combinations, goalie talk, and a whole lot more.    To kick off this week's podcast, we fell down an accidental wormhole of looking at the Asian Hockey League for some reason. Whilst down there, we found out that there are a couple of former Oilers playing in that league, including Alex Plante who was a player drafted with one of the picks acquired in the Ryan Smyth trade to New York. Back to business, we started our Oilers talk with a discussion about Josh Archibald's new contract and how Ken Holland seems to be taking care of his to-do list as early as possible. We also looked at the salary cap supposedly going up for next season and how that will affect some of the Oilers' decisions moving forward. Sticking with the future, I made an impassioned plea for Edmonton to re-sign Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to an extension this summer so that the core can be locked up long term. From there, we switched gears to some goalie talk, including who should get the start in tomorrow's game against the Blue Jackets and wondered why Dave Tippett seems to handle his two keepers so differently. Sticking with the coach, we also looked at some of the line combinations he ran with on the road trip and wondered if there could be a shuffle coming after a couple of lacklustre performances against the Stars and Blackhawks. Lastly, we finished up this week's show with some score predictions for tomorrow night's game against the Blue Jackets along with the Hot and Cold Performers of the Week. Hosted on Acast.
