The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing a goaltending crisis, forced to turn to AHL call-ups as injuries continue to mount. The Edmonton Oilers don’t have the same injury issues, but questions remain about consistency in net, even with Stuart Skinner coming off a couple of better performances.

We break down the similarities between both teams, explain why we’re still reserving judgment on Edmonton’s recent wins, and discuss whether the Oilers should continue exploring a move for a goaltender.

We also touch on the Dave Chappelle incident in Edmonton, reacting to reports of heckling during his show and what that could mean for future appearances in the city.

All that and more in Episode 11 of No Pucks Given.

Are the Edmonton Oilers really considering trading Stuart Skinner?
In Episode 10 of the No Pucks Given Podcast, Stuart and Rick dive deep into the growing concern around the Oilers’ goaltending — and whether a major move could be coming soon.

We break down what’s actually happening, what the Oilers’ options are, and whether this team can still save their season.

On the Toronto side, the Maple Leafs have been inconsistent but are showing signs of life. We discuss their latest performances, playoff hopes, and whether their roster is built for the long run.
