Struddy's World - Got Yer Back

Struddy's World - Got Yer Back is daily-feeling Oilers talk with a former-player edge and a very local pulse. It starts fast. The show often opens with a lineup hook, an injury worry, a defensive question, or a fresh result that has already started an argument. Jason Strudwick brings the conversation back to what happens on the ice: how a defense pair handles pressure, why a goaltender looks calm or chaotic, what a third line can absorb, and where the penalty kill has to be cleaner. The language is casual, but the hockey is not vague. It cares about structure. It cares about feel. It also cares about the strange little emotional swings that come with following a contender through the final third of a schedule, the trade deadline, and the playoffs. The show can be funny and self-deprecating, then suddenly practical about a dirty hit, a bad angle, or a team that cannot defend the same way twice. Zuby appears as a familiar presence, and the episodes bring in named voices such as Darren Drager, Ryan Rashog, Jack Michaels, Jamie McClendon, and Mark Connolly when the conversation needs broader NHL, broadcast, or tournament context. Oilers topics dominate, but the frame stretches to Olympic updates, Canada matchups, Maple Leafs trade complications, major awards ballots, and general league movement. It is not an explainer for someone learning what a blue line is. It is for fans already living with the team, checking injury news, weighing line stability, and wondering what the next game says about the bigger run. The appeal is the mix: locker-room familiarity, radio-style pace, and enough practical hockey sense to turn a fan complaint into a sharper question.
