Goaltending drama, young players finding their game, and big-picture concerns — it’s another loaded episode of Ask Dubey on Oilersnation. 🏒

Dubey checks in from the Cayman Islands but still dives headfirst into a busy week surrounding the Edmonton Oilers — where the spotlight once again lands on the crease.

The episode opens with a discussion around Connor Ingram being officially named the team’s starter and why that decision raised eyebrows despite his strong play. Dubey breaks down whether Ingram has truly separated himself as a playoff-calibre number one, what the move might signal behind the scenes, and how this impacts Tristan Jarry moving forward.

From there, it’s classic Ask Dubey — tackling your questions on:

• Whether Ingram has proven he can carry a team into the playoffs

• Why naming a “starter” publicly may have been unnecessary

• How long does it really take young players like Matt Savoie to adjust to the NHL

• Why development isn’t always linear (and why patience matters)

• If the Oilers’ recent inconsistency is a systems issue or execution problem

• And whether long playoff runs are finally catching up to stars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl

Dubey also touches on the absence of Draisaitl, why it could actually benefit the team long-term, and what really matters as the Oilers push toward the postseason.

The takeaway? It’s not about being perfect right now — it’s about getting hot at the right time.

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' moves at the NHL Trade Deadline, previewed Friday's game against Carolina, line combinations, trade targets, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about why the Oilers just cannot seem to win a third game in a row. Despite having 12 opportunities to do so, the team has only won three times in a row once all season. While there's no specific explanation for the stat, Baggedmilk asked the boys to try to figure things out and put their finger on the problem anyway.

Shifting gears, the guys looked at Leon Draisaitl's injury and wondered whether he'll be ready to go before the initial timeline. According to Stan Bowman, the team is hopeful that Draisaitl will be able to return before the end of the regular season and will not require surgery, but as you'll hear, the boys are cautiously optimistic. Either way, it will be fascinating to see how the final month or so of the season has played out.

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 2025-26 season quickly winding down, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

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 their first impressions of Edmonton's new friends, the latest Oilers goalie drama, previewed Tuesday's matchup against the Avalanche, and much more.

We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how the Oilers can survive the remainder of their regular season schedule without Leon Draisaitl. The Oilers announced this morning that the star forward would miss the remainder of the regular season with a lower-body injury. No word on what will happen for the playoffs, but this was obviously not the news Oilers fans wanted to hear this morning.

Changing gears, the guys discussed Connor Ingram being named the Oilers' starting goaltender and how surprising it was that Kris Knoblauch admitted what we were all thinking. Either way, what's clear is that the team and coaching staff believe Ingram gives the chance the best chance to win right now, and it's going to take a lot of work for Jarry to rebuild that trust. Will it be the right decision? Only time will tell.

Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Tenable, followed by Baggedmilk's Trivia. With Liam's game uniting the fellas for one common goal, the guys wrapped up the show with another round of Sharks-related Baggedmilk Trivia questions. Think you know your Oilers vs. Sharks history? This round of trivia was for you. Did the quizmaster have to step in? Did Baggedmilk get his questions right? You'll have to listen to find out for sure.

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' moves at the NHL Trade Deadline, previewed Friday's game against Carolina, line combinations, trade targets, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Jake Walman's struggles and what it will take to get him back on his game. Given that the coaching staff has already moved him on every pairing on the back end, the options for getting him back up and running are extremely limited. As you'll hear, the boys were actually short on ideas for what Knoblauch and co can do with their newly extended d-man.

Shifting gears, the guys looked at the last couple of games on the Oilers' schedule and how the results could not have been more different. Starting with Nathan MacKinnon getting tossed for running into Connor Ingram, the boys shared their take on the penalty and whether Nate should have been kicked out. From there, we looked at the loss in Dallas, and how it was an incredibly frustrating night after two of Edmonton's best games of the year kicked off the road trip.

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 2025-26 season well into the stretch drive, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

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 their first impressions of Edmonton's new friends, the latest Oilers goalie drama, previewed Tuesday's matchup against the Avalanche, and much more.

We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the latest round of Oilers goalie drama, after some quotes from Bob Stauffer circulated on social media suggesting there was some frustration on the ice at practice. While some folks really believe this on-ice back-and-forth 0n the ice is a major issue, while others think getting into it is healthy when things aren't going so well. Either way, the only way to stop the noise would be for the team to start winning.

Changing gears, the guys discussed their first impressions of the Oilers' new friends now that they all have a couple of games under their belt. Starting with Connor Murphy's ability to defend, it's been refreshing to watch a guy take care of his own end first. They also spoke about Jason Dickinson's defensive abilities, and how he actually moves better than everyone expected. While the Oilers only won one of the two games played, it was nice to see the new guys finding ways to contribute.

Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk's Trivia. With none of the other boys coming up with a game of their own, the guys went back to old faithful with a round of Avalanche-related Baggedmilk Trivia questions. Think you know your Oilers vs. Avs history? This round of trivia was for you. Did the quizmaster have to step in? Did Baggedmilk get his questions right? You'll have to listen to find out for sure.

The Oilers are scoring goals — but keeping the puck out of the net has been the bigger challenge lately.

On this week’s episode of Ask Dubey, Dubey opens the show by breaking down Edmonton’s recent stretch of games following the Olympic break, including a massive comeback win over Ottawa and a monster performance from Leon Draisaitl, who put up five points in the victory.

But the bigger conversation quickly shifts to what Oilers fans are watching closely right now: goaltending and team defense. Dubey explains why defensive inconsistencies and goaltending struggles are showing up at the same time — and why it’s something the team needs to clean up before the playoffs.

From there, Dubey answers listener questions on everything from the decline in NHL save percentages to the challenges goalies face in today’s high-skill, offense-driven league.

The episode also dives into:

• Why scoring chances in today’s NHL are more dangerous than ever

• Whether Dubey could realistically come out of retirement for a playoff run

• Tips for minor hockey coaches trying to help develop young goalies

• Who should start Game 1 of the playoffs for Edmonton

• Why both the team and the goalies share responsibility for defensive struggles

As always, it’s a mix of goalie insight, Oilers talk, and behind-the-scenes perspective from someone who’s been in the crease at the NHL level.

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' moves at the NHL Trade Deadline, previewed Friday's game against Carolina, line combinations, trade targets, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about whether or not the Oilers got enough done at the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline. Given that Stan Bowman's work all got done in the days leading up to the deadline, it's fair to wonder whether the Oilers added enough to keep up with the rest of the Western Conference. At the same time, one could argue that Bowman addressed some major roster holes despite the deals being relatively minor.

Shifting gears, the guys looked at what is going to be a very tough handful of games for the Oilers, as they kick off a run of four against the Hurricanes, Golden Knights, and Stars. If ever there was a run of measuring stick games on the post-deadline schedule, this next week has to be it. While many Oilers fans were hoping for more, it's hard to argue that Bowman didn't pull trigger on a handful of players who could help plug some holes.

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 2025-26 season entering the stretch drive, the guys spent the bulk of the podcast moving through a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that’s the way things go on the Friday episode of ONR.

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 Connor Murphy trade with Chicago, the Oilers' goal troubles, previewed Tuesday's matchup against the Senators, and much more.

We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how many other trades Stan Bowman can get done between now and Friday's trade deadline. While the Oilers may not have a ton of cap space available, the Connor Murphy trade showed that Bowman can get creative when it comes to moving his money around, and he'll need to do more of that in the coming days if he plans to find further upgrades.

Changing gears, the guys looked at some of the news and transactions that have happened over the last week, including Andrew Mangiapane and Alec Regula clearing waivers. Seeing the Bread Man go through waivers is an unbelievable plot twist on what has been a rough go between the player and organization, and it will be fascinating to see what/if anything happens with him over the coming days. The guys also discussed the Oilers' dreadful run of defensive play over the last couple of games and wondered how much our new Connor can help stop the bleeding.

Finally, we wrapped up the episode of ONR with another round of Baggedmilk's Trivia. With none of the other boys coming up with anything new, the guys went back to old faithful with a round of Senators-related Baggedmilk Trivia questions. Think you know your Oilers vs. Senators history? This round of trivia was for you. Did the quizmaster have to step in? Did Baggedmilk get his questions right?
