Edmonton Oilers Playoff Thoughts: Round 1, Game 2

It’s easier to have a more rational take a day or two after that kind of game happens. They very nearly pulled off the Miracle on Manchester in reverse. In Round 2 of 2022, the Oilers blew a 3-0 lead in Game 4, but Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored the game-winning goal late and won the series […]

Edmonton Oilers Playoff Thoughts: Round 1, Game 1

Having the same Round 1 every year has gotten boring. But the games need to be played, so what can you do? The LA Kings meeting our Edmonton Oilers for a fourth straight year is similar to the late 90s and early 2000s Oilers, when they were always meeting the Dallas Stars in the Playoffs. […]

They were without two of their top 4 defensemen, and the Kings had Drew Doughty back in theirs. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was Edmonton’s only top 6 center in the lineup while LA has Anze […]

Edmonton Oilers Pregame Thoughts

The battle of the depleted lineups was amusing. Winnipeg didn’t have Josh Morrissey or Connor Hellebuyck playing last night, just for Playoff resting reasons. But they do have injuries to Gabriel Vilardi and Nikolaj Ehlers. And now, Dylan Samberg is bound to miss time due to leaving the game after blocking a slap shot. Adam […]
