Oil Rig Radio: Hockey This Fortnight ·

2025/11/09

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 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 We recorded on December 15, so everything is out of date.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.

2024/12/01

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.

Avry also said something mean, so stay tuned for that!

2024/10/20

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.

2024/05/08

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.

Oil Rig Radio: Hockey This Fortnight ·

2024/04/14

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.
