The Oil Rig Podcast
The Oil Rig Podcast is the official Edmonton Oilers outlet of The Oil Rig (theoilrig.ca).
Hosted by TOR’s Faiz Virji and Greg Babinski, this isn’t your average Oilers show. This is for the fans who live for the pursuit of the Stanley Cup; those who recognize that for this version of the Oilers, true greatness is the only acceptable standard.
Join Faiz and Greg for unfiltered analysis, deep dives into roster construction, and the high-stakes passion that defines Oil Country. If you believe that Edmonton's window is wide open and refuse to settle for anything less than glory, you’re in the right place.
