Sometimes we go for a much wider view here on OilersNation Radio. We invite guests who write about other teams and players from around the league. We think it makes us seem somehow more refined, more cosmopolitan…

Not this week baby. It’s pretty much all Edmonton, all the time. Allan talks with a numbers of influencial Edmonton bloggers on a variety of topics including advanced stats, Ales Hemsy and the recent Gilbert trade.

This is Nation Radio.

Pat McLean of the ever popular Black Dogs Hates Skunks blog talks the Hemsky signing, Sheldon Souray, Tom Gilbert and Maple Leafs coaching.

In part two this week, David Staples of the Cult of Hockey reports from the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics conference.

Dennis King of MC79hockey drops by to discuss Hemsky’s value to the Oilers, Jordan Eberle and to add his perspective to the Gilbert swap.

Dennis’ blogmate Tyler "Toronto Lawyer" Dellow adds his thoughts on advanced stats, Eberle, Gilbert and Leafs coaching.

Rod Peterson, former PbP voice of the Regins Pats (and current voice of the Rough Riders) talks Marincin, the WHL and the possibility of NHL in the Sashatchewan.

Allan goes solo and shares his thoughts on defense.

The whole two hours.
