This Week On Oilers Hockey: 3

Not the best week for the copper blue and orange, not how a fan would like to start the season with a six-game home stand, but there were some positives to look at. As funny as it is to keep seeing Brett Kulak trip on ice, leading to breakaways, it is impressive that he’s the […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 2

A first period. My kingdom for a first period. Only two games into the season, 80 games left, nobody panic. That being said, this team still has yet to move on from shaky starts. Not starting games on time has plagued the Oilers as much as other things for quite a few years and was […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 1

🎵It’s the most wonderful time of the year. McDavid is speeding, La Bamba is playing, so be of good cheer. It’s the most wonderful time of the year🎵 Preseason ended, and now the real hockey begins. I’ll be doing this sort of article every week before the first game of each new week. This will […]

Oilers: The Chychrun Chatter Is Back

As we all know, Jakob Chychrun is still a member of the Arizona Coyotes. TSN’s Darren Dreger recently reported that the Oilers’ interest in Chychrun grew and that the team was a front-runner.

The Next Brendan Perlini?

NHL hockey is back; how nice is that to say? Not the 82 game schedule yet.

With the preseason just getting underway, may we have another scenario where […]

As high as Oilers fans felt and still feel about their team’s recent run to the Conference Finals, it also comes with much higher expectations with just […]

Ryan Murray Is An Oiler… Ten Years Later

Rewind back to the 2011/2012 season, FAIL FOR NAIL! The Edmonton Oilers were continuing their phase of finishing at the basement of the NHL standings to land a very high first-round draft pick every season. Nail Yakupov was the projected #1 overall pick in that draft. But after selecting Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins first […]

Yes, I Will Also Talk About Patrick Kane And The Oilers.

Like many other Oilers fans, I’ve had my heart palpitate, and my eyes roll at news centering around the Blackhawks superstar and the rumours of interest that Edmonton has in his services. No one will shut up about it, and it makes Oilers fans more anxious to just get on with or without it already. […]

Oilers: Saying Goodbye To Ben

Coming off the recent funeral for the Oilers super fan Ben Stelter on a Friday morning last week, it felt unthinkable jumping into a weekend after having just buried a six year old. There are things in life we can never explain or fathom. You can’t hear about cancer impacting the health of someone who […]
