Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne welcome in Sportsnet Oilers reporter Mark Spector (4:49) to discuss the feeling in Edmonton approaching the American Thanksgiving benchmark. He gets into why he's confident the Oilers will bounce back from their familiar early-season struggles, their options in the goalie trade market, and Trent Frederic failing to meet expectations of his 8-year deal. Then, he reviews Evan Bouchard's case for a spot on Team Canada at the Olympics and what Jack Roslovic's next contract might look like after a year on Leon Draisaitl's line. Later, Nick, Justin and Sam react to Mikko Rantanen's game misconduct after a hit on Isles' Alexander Romanov, Patrick Roy's fiery response, and Eetu Luostarinen's off-ice injury.

Steve Valiquette joins Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne (6:45) to chat about the fallout from the Edmonton Oilers' loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Joseph Woll's return in net for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Anthony Stolarz's regression in blocking shots and connection to a weak defence, the correlation between shot attempts being down while pucks are still getting by goalies, and Jonathan Quick taking charge in a post-game brawl. Then on Grill the Panel, Steve asks how much a goaltender can move on a left-sided faceoff, when goaltenders should start backing up on an offensive breakaway, and more. To wrap up, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee touch on Evan Bouchard's case for a spot on Team Canada.
