What If Jack Campbell Came Back To Edmonton?
Before you start typing your comments, note that this is only a hypothetical question. Whether or not it happens is not set in stone. Even when your team keeps winning, there’s nothing wrong with entertaining possibilities or pondering scenarios. The turnaround that the Oilers have seen in their goaltending has been astronomical. Stuart Skinner went […]

Eberle Or Perron: Who Would Edmonton Take Back?
For the record, I don’t want the Edmonton Oilers to pursue another forward. I’d rather see them spend their trade assets on a bigger area of need for the roster. But I’ve recently heard Jordan Eberle and David Perron as options that were tossed around Edmonton. This is a pretty interesting discussion to have. Both […]

NHL Game Recap: Edmonton Oilers vs. Nashville Predators | 01/27/2024
1st Period: There were lots of infractions by both teams that the referees let go. But the Oilers would get a powerplay at 6:38 when Jeremy Lauzon held down Leon Draisaitl.

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Nashville Predators | 01/27/2024
I’m running out of positive things to write about this team. The Edmonton Oilers won again- great. 15 in a row- fantastic. There’s your coverage; moving on. It was easier and more depressing to write about the Oilers when they were losing. That feels like a year ago now, and we’re only a month into […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Chicago Blackhawks | 01/25/2024
When things are going well, you’ll even grab a win that you don’t deserve. The first and second periods on Tuesday night brought me back to Oilers hockey from the beginning of the season.

It was a real thrill for all […]
