Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall, and Megan Fowler as they talk (a lot) about the Oilers 9-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, how the Penguins are beating expectations, why Team Canada's Olympic jerseys are garbage (except that they make Crosby's grey hairs pop), how wild it is that two MLB pitchers threw away their entire careers for $12000, and what rule change (in any sport) they'd like to see reversed.
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they talk about the two most recent stinkers the Oilers played, discuss the problems of a McDrai combo, take a trip around the league, and (of course) get a mention of Sidney Crosby in there.
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler for the first episode of the 2025-26 NHL season. We talk about Jake Walman, Connor McDavid, the Montreal Canadiens, the San Jose Sharks and, of course, Sidney Crosby.
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they talk their way around Canada's demise at the WJHC, try to figure out what (if anything) the Oilers need to do to get better, what's going on with the Canucks, and whether or not Ovechkin is the best goal scorer ever.
So...... this is late because *someone* forgot to publish it. We recorded on December 15, so everything is out of date. We are recording today too, so that one will be current.
Join hosts Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they talk about the Oilers' depth scoring woes (it's bad, friends. Real bad.), discuss the goaltending issues, figure out why they like Podkolzin so much, and discuss how to find a puck mover (where a very familiar name pops up). Steven's Highly Personal Question isn't controversial, but it's a good one.
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they take a look at the Oilers early problems (scoring, special teams, goaltending) and propose solutions (Dante Fabbro?), take a trip around the league for the good (Crosby and Ovechkin having resurgences somehow, the Jets) and the bad (the Penguins, Jennifer Botterill's haters), ad decide which fictional worlds they'd inhabit if possible. Avry also said something mean, so stay tuned for that!
Join Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler (and the ghost of Steven Darnell) for a belated preseason prediction episode. We talk about why the Oilers are off to such a slow start and how their cap situation won't make that better, what might happen elsewhere in the league as the season progresses, how the Bruins really misread the Swayman situation, and whether or not Ottawa is a playoff team.
Join Steven, Avry and Megan for the last offseason episode of 2024, as they take a look at the Broberg and Holloway offer sheets, Draisaitl's contract extension, a quick look around the league and decide which social norms must be followed for fear of capital punishment.
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler for a brief look at what's gone on since the draft. There hasn't been a lot, but at the same time there's been a LOT. Plus, Steven gave Megan some homework for the next episode, so there's that.
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler for an Oilers playoff post-mortem, a discussion of what they need to make another deep Cup run, and a quick review of some things about the Draft (though the bigger discussion will come next episode).
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler for a recap of the conference finals, a deep dive into the Stanley Cup Final, and a mention of Sidney Crosby that wasn't from Megan. Is the Corey Perry curse real? Let's find out together.
Join Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler for their Round 2 recap, Round 3 predictions, and a rant or two or three. Did we talk about Sidney Crosby? Yes, yes we did.
Join Steven, Avry and Megan for a quick recap of their round 1 predictions (why, yes, Megan DID pick Boston to win in OT in Game 7, why do you ask?), a brief tour through the biggest surprises of the first round, their second round predictions (we are so much closer to a 2011 rematch than people are thinking about), and listen for a drive-by of Jose Altuve and the Astros.
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler for a quick playoff prediction episode. You'll never guess which teams Megan wants to see swallowed by a sinkhole.
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they discuss the playoff picture in each conference, whether or not dragging a team into the playoffs is enough to get Hart trophy votes, what the Oilers should do with Darnell Nurse, and whether or not the Oilers are going to get the goaltending they need to make a deep run. (We had some technical difficulties while recording, and as such there are a few places where the audio dropped. Sorry.)
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler for a discussion of what is right with the Oilers, what is wrong with the Oilers, what will be the biggest playoff problem for the Oilers, why the NHL is so wrong about video review, and which animal(s) they think they could fight off in the wild.
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they dissect the Oilers deadline, talk about some of the more surprising deals this year, try to figure out who will and won't make the playoffs, and decide what mundane superpower they'd like to have.
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they discuss the Oilers continuing goalie issues, try to figure out a solution to some of their other problems, discuss what the Flames could or should do before the deadline, which bubble teams might make the playoffs, and which US president they'd marry (things took a turn, choices were made).
Join Steven Darnell, Avry Lewis-McDougall and Megan Fowler as they discuss the end of the Oilers 16-game win streak, decide what the big need is at the trade deadline, examine some stories from around the league, talk a bit about the charges laid against the 2018 WJC players, and end on a lighter (if a little blasphemous) note.
