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 Team Canada going to the gold medal game, Connor McDavid's new record, line combinations, trade targets, and more.

We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about Team Canada's two tight wins in the elimination games and whether facing that adversity will help them in the gold medal game. Given that the team has needed consecutive comebacks to beat Czechia and Finland, the boys wondered if grinding through those two games would better prepare them for what's to come on Sunday morning.

Shifting gears, the guys looked at Team Canada's comeback win over Finland after the boys fell 2-0 early in the game, forcing a wild comeback over the final half. Starting with Connor McDavid setting an Olympic record with NHLers in the mix, it's been incredibly to watch No. 97 do his thing at such a high level. Even so, there was still controversy about the late penalty on Nathan MacKinnon that ultimately ended the game for Canada.

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 past the midway point, 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.
