Oilers look for a new win streak, silly szn rumours, and Knoblauch's new line combos

Oilersnation Radio

It's Friday afternoon, and that means we've got a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio all set, edited, and ready to take you into the weekend. This week, we spoke about the Oilers' loss to Vegas, previewed tonight's game against the Ducks, and dove into some of the silly szn rumours that are circling our favourite hockey team.

Kicking off the podcast, we got started with a delicious debate about the Oilers' new line combinations. Not only did Coach Knobby shuffle his forward lines, but he also changed up the defensive pairings, which had a lot of Oilers fans scratching their heads. Of course, Knobby has made a lot of good lineup choices since he's taken over, but these new d-pairings will certainly take a minute to get used to seeing.

Looking ahead at the trade deadline, we dove into some of the rumours and names that the Oilers have been tied to lately and whether any of those players are realistic options. Depending on what the team's biggest need is, there are plenty of suitable names that the Oilers could chase but are any of them worth the cost of acquisition?

Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots and Hot and Cold performers to recap the week, take in your feedback, and offer up our score predictions for what will be a very important weekend for the Oilers. As always, the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio was as busy as it was random.
