More hockey talk as the Edmonton Oilers have struggled thus far. The Oilers boast an 8-6 record, good for 4th place in the Pacific Division. Luca and Nick debate if it's time to sound the alarm on goaltender Jack Campbell due to his early struggles. Around The Waves transitions to the NFL, where they debate the mid-season award selections, such as MVP, coach of the year, and offensive player of the year. Lastly, Around The Waves discusses the AFC playoff teams that the Kansas City Chiefs might have to compete against to reach the Super Bowl.
