It’s another frosty Friday afternoon here in Oilers land but
our takes HOT as a means of keeping you warm. This week, we broke
down the Oilers' current three-game winning streak, discussed Jesse
Puljujarvi being placed on COVID watch, and welcomed former
Edmonton Oiler, Georges Laraque, to help us make sense of it
all.
To kick things off, we got started with a look at the Oilers'
recent success and what is the biggest reason behind this run of
wins. Is it the goaltending? Is it depth scoring? Is it a bigger
commitment to team defence as a whole? Can you even separate those
positives seeing as they're both major contributors to wins? From
there, we took a break from the team to welcome in former Oiler,
Georges Laraque, to the show to talk about how he's enjoying the
all-Canadian Division, his time as an NHL heavyweight, his
incredible hat trick from 2000, memories from the '06 Cup run, Joey
Moss, and a whole lot more. Frankly, this was one of my favourite
interviews that I've ever been able to do, and to hear Georges
speak with such passion about the team and city was truly
remarkable. Back to the Oilers, we looked at Jujhar Khaira's
resurgence after making his way back into the lineup. From where we
podcast, our this could be one of the best runs of Khaira's career
and I think it's fair to say that we're all pulling for him that he
can keep it going. All-in-all, this was a very fun podcast to
record and we hope you enjoy listening to it.
