Here we are on a Friday afternoon after a big comeback win with a brand new episode of Oilersnation Radio to fill your eardrums with all of the Oilers-related news and love that your heart desires. This week, we're talkin' offence, McDrai's playing time, goaltending, and a whole lot more.  

To start off this week's podcast, we jumped in a with a look at last night's ridiculous comeback win over the Washington Capitals. With the boys down 3-1 heading into the third, they needed some McMagic to get themselves back in the mix and that's exactly what happened as both Connor and Leon cranked up the intensity to a point where Washington had no answers for them. Despite their dominance, some folks wonder if McDavid and Draisaitl are playing too much, so I asked the boys for their thoughts on whether or not Tippett needs to reel back their minutes a little bit.

Sticking with Leon Draisaitl, we looked at Craig Button's comments from earlier this week when he said that people should stop comparing Auston Matthews to Connor McDavid because he's not even as good as Draisaitl. Obviously, we all had a good chuckle out of Button's point and while I thought we would discuss the merits of his comment, an argument actually broke out about whether the Leafs even have as many fans as the Canadiens. Weird, I know.

From there, we broke down the Oilers goaltending situation and offered some praise for the work Mikko Koskinen has done between the pipes so far, and whether or not he can keep this run going. Lastly, I had to come to the defence of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins whose been taking some shit in the comments section lately for being unable to score. As you'd expect, my defence of Edmonton's favourite son was passionate.
