Oilers fan in Toronto. Staying up past my bedtime for Western games since the mid 2000s.

Does Tarasenko Make Sense For The Oilers?

You may not have expected the rebuilding Ottawa Senators to be ready to clinch a Playoff spot just yet. But they were expected to take some strides in the 2023/2024 season. 8th place in their division and 28th place league-wide, to put it lightly, are not strides. There are talks of them selling some key […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs St. Louis Blues | 02/15/2024

Until the third period, Tuesday night’s game didn’t feel like an 8-4 blowout. The Oilers had a two-goal lead twice but went into the second intermission tied. Give credit to Detroit, they’re a very fast team to play against. This is why it was so careless of Edmonton to fall asleep in the second period […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings | 02/13/2024

I hope none of you went back to panicking after this past week. The first week of February wasn’t nice, but the Oilers are still good. The months of December and January were so good that the team was bound to have a game or two like Saturday night. What I can take away from […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs Los Angeles Kings | 02/10/2024

After a game like the one played last night, I normally roll my eyes about the Oilers once again playing down to their opponent’s level. This time, after news of Edmonton’s coaching staff making hysterical changes to the line-up, it’s a tad more understandable. The second line of Evander Kane, Leon Draisaitl, and Corey Perry […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Anaheim Ducks | 02/09/2024

It was a really fun ride while it lasted. Of course, it would’ve been great if Edmonton tied the league record for the 17th straight win on Tuesday night. I do feel bad for the Oilers fans who traveled to Vegas and attended the game, possibly traveling to Anaheim for that game as well, hoping […]

Edmonton Oilers: Lineup Changes At Practice

Oilers TV reporter Tony Brar tweeted out the lineup during practice this afternoon in Coachella Valley as they prepare for Friday night’s game against the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center. There were some pretty amusing changes made by head coach Kris Knoblauch. It doesn’t always mean that will be the roster that’s iced, but […]

NHL Game Recap: Edmonton Oilers vs. Vegas Golden Knights | 02/06/2024

Edmonton Oilers fans waited ten days for this one. Edmonton picked up 37 of a possible 38 points during their streak. First Period Summary: This was the start of a three-game road trip for the Oilers. But when the anthem singer was singing the Canadian national anthem, hearing all of the Oilers fans in the […]

Edmonton Oilers: Heading Into The Second Half

Who would’ve thought in mid-November that Edmonton would be in this position? The Oilers were in the basement of the standings, recreating their yearly first-overall pick phase in the early 2010s. They had only 3 wins in the first month a half of the 2023/2024 season and are now 26-6 since their coaching change. I’m […]
