Kane The Oiler, One Year Later
With no Oilers games on all week, it does give us a chance to revisit a signing that came with controversy just a year ago. Edmonton, holding onto the first Wild Card spot with 60 points in the standings heading into the All-Star break, finds themselves in a slightly better position than at this same […]

That game against the Lightning was fun, eh? The Oilers only play Tampa Bay twice a year, but you’d think they were long-time rivals with how heated and emotional the players on both sides got. We’re halfway through the regular season, and game 47 was a playoff-caliber game against the back-to-back-to-back Eastern Conference Champions. Not […]

As an Oilers fan who lives in Toronto, it feels nice to move on from a week of hockey that had me staying up until 1am or 1:30am four nights out of seven. Edmonton comes back to Rogers Place for a two-game homestand, having won three straight games. The LA game aside, it was a […]

“Patience has an expiration date.” That was a quote from Jay Woodcroft after his team’s 5-2 loss against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night. It’s also been the general consensus on Oilers Twitter even before it was said outside of a screen. It can be referencing players on the team that need to help contribute […]

Happy New Year, everybody. 2022 was up and down like a toilet seat in Oil Country, and we hope to follow up a fun playoff run with another trip past the first two rounds. But before the Oilers can attempt that, they have just one half of regular season hockey left. They’re in the 1st […]

I hope my fellow Oilers fans had a joyous Christmas holiday, even though the record that the team comes back with is not the ideal Christmas present. They sit with an 18-15-2 record in the standings. As stated in a tweet by Daniel Nugent-Bowman, this is the same record that the Oilers had last season […]

Oilers Christmas Wishes? Nice Or Naughty?
Merry Christmas, Oilers fans. A holiday that will either distract you from how our team plays or a time to share your strong emotions with family members right beside you. I’ll be taking on the role of Santa Claus for this one. What do I have on my nice list, and what do I have […]

A disappointing Oilers week this time around. A “scheduled” loss against a team they always get owned by, a “scheduled” win against a team they’ve started owning, and only one out of a possible four points against teams that are below them in the standings, one of them being the second last place team in […]

While enjoying six wins in eight games, some interesting trade rumors surround the Edmonton Oilers. The first one is Joel Edmundson, from Montreal. The “playoff defenseman” would be a decent addition for the Oil and their third pairing. But I’m not keen on trading a first round pick for him. Nor would I want to […]

A 3-1 stretch in Week 8 with a depleted lineup ain’t bad. While the lack of scoring depth this season is still a concern to be addressed, having McDavid, Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins and Hyman outscore the team’s flaws and playing more toilet seat roller coaster games always makes for a grand time sitting on your couch.
