It's the Friday afternoon after a big Oilers win, which meant the vibes were excellent on the second episode of Oilersnation Radio of the week.
We kicked off Friday's episode of the podcast with a delicious debate about the Oilers' power play and, specifically, whether or not Kris Knoblauch should make any changes to the PP1. Even though the power play is struggling so far, it's also very early to make changes to a line that has been one of the best the league has ever seen in years.
Looking back at the last two games, we dove into the Oilers' first two victories of the year and how the win over Philly prevented Tyler from having to eat cat food again. Yet, despite talking about the game for 30 seconds, the conversation quickly fell off the rails with a way-too-early debate about Warren Foegele vs. Viktor Arvidsson.
Changing gears entirely, we looked at the Oilers' willingness to drop the mitts over the last two games and how those fights sparked the team in a very real way. That's not to suggest that fighting is the key to success in the NHL — no one is saying that — but it's hard to ignore the impact those three scraps had on the team at the moment.
Returning to last night's win over the Predators, we spent a few minutes talking about Nashville's struggles to start their season. Does it make sense that a team with so many new players should be afforded some extra time for everyone to get comfortable, or are they simply underperforming where they should be?
Finally, we wrapped the podcast up by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots before diving into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days. Needless to say, this week's episode had plenty of hockey talk that we've had in a while, and it feels good to know that the NHL is back in full swing.
