Goaltending drama, young players finding their game, and big-picture concerns — it’s another loaded episode of Ask Dubey on Oilersnation. 🏒
Dubey checks in from the Cayman Islands but still dives headfirst into a busy week surrounding the Edmonton Oilers — where the spotlight once again lands on the crease.
The episode opens with a discussion around Connor Ingram being officially named the team’s starter and why that decision raised eyebrows despite his strong play. Dubey breaks down whether Ingram has truly separated himself as a playoff-calibre number one, what the move might signal behind the scenes, and how this impacts Tristan Jarry moving forward.
From there, it’s classic Ask Dubey — tackling your questions on:
• Whether Ingram has proven he can carry a team into the playoffs
• Why naming a “starter” publicly may have been unnecessary
• How long does it really take young players like Matt Savoie to adjust to the NHL
• Why development isn’t always linear (and why patience matters)
• If the Oilers’ recent inconsistency is a systems issue or execution problem
• And whether long playoff runs are finally catching up to stars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl
Dubey also touches on the absence of Draisaitl, why it could actually benefit the team long-term, and what really matters as the Oilers push toward the postseason.
The takeaway? It’s not about being perfect right now — it’s about getting hot at the right time.

Creating Drama is the Oilers way 😔
I think there is a feeling by the coaching staff/team, that Jarry is now working hard, he's not training hard. Maybe sending signals that he doesn't really care or try to improve. Just my perception of it.
McDavid took less money, for this 😂
That dude is long gone when this extension runs out.
Oilers need an upgrade at GM!
JarDog 🫙🐩
Ingram is OFFICIALLY #1
There's no debate! It sucks!
No.
Ingraham hasn't been doing that well.He's been letting in 4 goals.Just the Oilers are getting five or six
Piss off the gambling sponsors.
They announced Ingram as the starter so the public knows who’s expected every game going forward. Probably less harassment towards management from the public about who’s expected to start every game. Why would they leave the public asking if dog Jarry is playing every game for the rest of the season. Pretty simple stuff Devan.
im from the cayman islands
Oilers should’ve drafted Tkachuk and Walsted!
Jarry knows he has no defense in front of him! That’s why he was shaking his head in disbelief when last pulled…
We have a defense man who can’t skate or defend! Goalies who can’t stop the puck! Forwards that can’t forecheck or backcheck! Any wonder we can’t keep the puck out of the net?!
I'd bet that Las Vegas is wishing they had grabbed Calvin Pickard off the waiver wire.
I always thought how good pickard did in goal in the playoffs and finals last year but they just keep him as backup
I wouldn't make Jarry a #1 on a pee wee team at this point.
