It's game day for the Edmonton Oilers as they continue their eastern Canadian road trip, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio.

The guys started the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio with a delicious debate about what is the most concerning aspect of the Oilers' struggles right now. Whether it's goaltending needing to improve, concerns about the defence, or the forwards being unable to score, the debate about what's actually the biggest problem was all over the map. Needless to say, the boys all had different opinions about what's the biggest problem right now, but at the same time, they all seem to connect somehow.

Changing gears, we looked at the Oilers' defensive situation with Darnell Nurse on the shelf for 5-10 days after taking that brutal hit from Ryan Reaves. With Nurse out of the lineup, the defensive issues have gotten worse and it certainly doesn't help that Evan Bouchard is struggling mightily and directly responsible for so many mistakes over the last handful of games. No matter how you slice it, the defensive coverage has been an adventure lately and it's not all that surprising the boys focused on it for a healthy chunk of time.

Finally, the squad wrapped up the Tuesday podcast with some betting talk, keys to victory for beating the Senators, and offered up a score prediction ahead of tonight's game at the Canadian Tire Centre. Given that the Oilers and Senators are both working through varying inconsistencies, their first of two meetings on the season could be prove to be a big one. That said, if the Oilers plan to win this one then they'll need a much better effort than what we got on Monday in Montreal.

Friday afternoon means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is ready to carry you through the weekend. This week, we discussed Connor McDavid's 1,000-point night, Darnell Nurse's big game, Jeff Skinner's struggles, and much more.

The fellas kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about our favourite Connor McDavid moments and how Thursday's 1,000th point ranks among his current achievements. Whether it was the way he started his career with goal No. 1 against the Stars, hitting 100 assists in a season as he did last year or his first 60-goal season, there's little doubt that it was a special moment for everyone who's been along for the ride.

Looking back at last night's 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators and how that victory gave the Oilers their first three-game win streak of the season. And even though everyone understandably wanted to talk about Connor McDavid's milestone night, some underrated storylines came out that the boys wanted to talk about. From how Calvin Pickard swept the season series against Nashville to Darnell Nurse's three-point night that still wasn't good enough for some people, last night's win was an exciting result.

Finally, we wrapped the podcast up by answering your questions with another round of Ask the Idiots that covered some Oilers talk and some nonsense mixed in there too. From there, the fellas dove into Hot and Cold Performers to recap everything that's happened over the last seven days in terms of good and bad news. Needless to say, this week's episode had plenty of Connor McDavid talk mixed with a little bit of nonsense.

It's game day for the Edmonton Oilers with the New York Islanders in town, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Tuesday episode of Oilersnation Radio. On today's podcast, we looked at the Oilers' 7-3 win over the Canucks, what to expect from the New York Islanders, Brett Kulak's strong start, and more.

We started the Tuesday podcast episode by discussing which team we enjoy watching the Oilers beat the most and why. Whether it's laughing at Canucks fans because of how annoying the fanbase can be or Toronto for the way they think they're better than everyone else, it was fun to try and figure out which team is the most annoying. Flipping the question, are there any teams that the boys don't mind losing to?

Moving along, we looked back at the anniversary of Jay Woodcroft being fired and Kris Knoblauch coming in. Seeing as the boys were in Seattle on a Nation Vacation when Woodcroft was fired, everyone gave their take on what life's been like in the year since that coaching change. Back to the current team, the boys also spent some time talking about Evan Bouchard's struggles and how Oilers fans are looking for a whole lot more from their first pairing defenceman.

Finally, the squad wrapped up the Tuesday podcast with some betting talk, keys to victory for beating the Islanders, and offered up a score prediction ahead of tonight's game at Rogers Place. Given that the Oilers and Islanders are both working through varying struggles, their first of two meetings on the season could be a low scoring affair. That said, this game could also be one where the special teams play a major factor given that both sides are struggling on both the PP and the PK.
