The boys are holding it down today as Tyler is off for the rest of the week, which means it’s Liam and Bordzy running the show on this edition of Oilersnation Everyday. They kick things off by recapping last night’s 5–2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, a frustrating finish that saw the Oilers tie the game at two early in the third period before back-to-back penalties led to two goals against in a 30-second span. Edmonton ultimately drops the eighth and final game of their homestand, and the guys break down what went wrong, including some questionable calls late and a lack of discipline at the worst possible time.

The conversation then turns to Andrew Mangiapane, who was arguably Edmonton’s best player on the night before being benched in the second period after a costly giveaway that led to a goal. Liam and Bordzy discuss Mangiapane’s evolution in recent games, the decision to sit him, and whether it’s time to start asking bigger questions about Kris Knoblauch’s bench management. Is it time to have that conversation? It might be.

Jeff Marek joins the show to weigh in on Knoblauch’s decision, the ripple effects of benching a player like Mangiapane, and what the Oilers could realistically do before the roster freeze later this afternoon. Later on, Nick Alberga from Leafs Morning Take joins live in studio to give his perspective on last night’s game, Toronto’s current situation, and whether he believes the Maple Leafs could actually become sellers at the upcoming trade deadline.

To wrap things up, Liam and Bordzy shift their focus to tonight’s Battle of Alberta against the Calgary Flames, the final game before the Winter Games break. They’ll get you set with lineup combos, starting goaltenders, and everything you need to know before puck drop. The show closes with the daily Bet365 betting picks.
