Welcome, citizens, to a brand new episode of Oilersnation Radio! This week, we had a lot to discuss as the Oilers find themselves in first place in the Pacific Division as we head into December, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' injury and what that means for the roster, and what the hell is going on with the NHL referees.
To start off episode 64 of the podcast, we kicked things off
with a look back at the former first overall pick from 2012, Nail
Yakupov, and what we remember about our former friend now that he's
been playing in Russia for the past couple of years. With the trip
down memory lane out of the way, we turned back to the current
Edmonton Oilers and what they're going to do if Ryan
Nugent-Hopkins' hand injury is more severe than we initially
anticipated. Would an extended stint on the shelf for RNH add more
pressure on Ken Holland to find another centreman? In the meantime,
is there someone from the Condors that should be called up and
given a chance in his absence? From there we looked back at
Wednesday's game against Colorado and the ridiculous sequence that
saw the Oilers losing both Alex Chiasson and Adam Larsson in a
matter of seconds. We were all in agreement that the hit on
Chiasson was a clean one, but the conversation got a lot more
heated when discussing the strange decisions made by Steve Kozari
and the officiating team. Lastly, we finished up this week's show
with a look at the Edmonton Oilers sitting atop of the Pacific
Division as we head into December and whether or not that means
this team is truly for real. As always, it was another jam-packed
episode of ON Radio and a wonderful massage for your ear feelings
as we head into a huge weekend for the boys.
