Joaquin Gage, Benny Thomson, and YouTube Trev are back on the desk to talk all things Oilers and NHL hockey on The Oil Stream, on Edmonton Sports Talk!
Main Camp is officially underway at Rogers Place, and the ice is buzzing! The fellas break down the line combinations and defensive pairings from today’s practice session. Who is skating alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl? What do the early bottom-six lines look like, and how are the new blue-line faces fitting into the mix?
Then, the boys react to head coach Mike Babcock’s comments after his first formal media availability since he was hired. The fellas dissect his tone, his message to the locker room, and what he expects out of this group as exhibition action approaches.
Next, the boys dive into a juicy hot take from insider Frank Seravalli, who said he wouldn’t be surprised if Devon Levi becomes a more pivotal factor for Edmonton this season than Tristan Jarry. Gager, Benny, and Trev debate the goaltending dynamic, workload expectations, and who ultimately anchors the net down the stretch.
Finally, the fellas zoom out to check on the ongoing situation surrounding Connor Hellebuyck in Winnipeg. With the Jets’ General Manager addressing the media today, the boys react to his latest comments and examine what it means for the rest of the Western Conference!
