Season 1 · Episode 10

Friday, June 27, 2025 • Duration 50:36

On this Oilers-focused episode of the Fuel and Fire podcast, Faiz and Greg commiserate over another ultimately devastating Stanley Cup Final run. They kick things off with a wellness check, exploring the emotional aftermath for fans and the team alike.

The discussion dives into the team's performance in the Final, particularly their inability to score despite good chances, and whether the Panthers were simply a superior opponent.

Greg and Faiz also tackle the persistent narrative surrounding Stuart Skinner, debating his role for next season and potential goaltending improvements. They don't shy away from the divisive topic of Darnell Nurse's contract and his place on the team, while also looking at the Oilers' impressive defence corps.

The conversation shifts to Connor McDavid's recent comments and what they might signal for the team's future, touching on the ongoing quest for a Cup and the unique dynamic between McDavid and Draisaitl.

Finally, they look ahead to the offseason, discussing potential forward reloads, including insights on pending free agents like Mattias Janmark and Connor Brown, and ponder how Stan Bowman might leverage cap space to strengthen the roster.

Oilers Trending Up, Flames Trending Down

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, December 3, 2024 • Duration 36:43

Episode 3 of Fuel and Fire sees the NHL exiting its first quarter as the American Thanksgiving benchmark is now behind us. Both the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames held the two Western Conference wild card spots with 28 points apiece, however, one team has trended up while the other team has trended down. Hosting the episode are Joshua (The Win Column) and Faiz (The Oil Rig).

The hosts get right into the NHL standings and also make some reasonable 4 Nations Face-Off roster predictions for the Flames and Oilers. Making its rounds on The Win Column’s social media, plenty of debate was had on Flames player career squares to look at who started good/okay/bad and ended good/okay/bad. Follow along on The Oil Rig socials to participate in voting for the Oilers' career squares!

Finally, the Dig In Right Now segment returns with Josh and Faiz picking new players they think need to dig in, right now as well as looking at how things have gone with Daniil Miromanov and Darnell Nurse. And of course, the first-ever Fuel and Fire bet gets an update as injuries to the players in the bet have made the unexpected drama to close out 2024. Josh bet that Anthony Mantha would have more goals than Zach Hyman by January 1, 2025. Did Josh accept Faiz’s olive branch to switch out Mantha for an active player or did he double down and stick to his initial bet despite Mantha being out long-term?
