NHL Playoff Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Dallas Stars | Round 3, Game 1 | 05/23/2024

I often see a commercial on the Hockey Night In Canada broadcast for Truly Hard Seltzer drinks. In it, two women are at a bar watching a Playoff game. There is a close-up shot of one of the women wearing an Oilers jersey and screaming for joy. On Monday night, when Game 7 was over, […]

Jake Debrusk on the Move to Edmonton?

Jake Debrusk’s future with the Boston Bruins is uncertain following their elimination from the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Florida Panthers in Round 2 last week. The left-winger has been with the Bruins for 7 seasons and was a standout player, leading the team with 5 goals and 6 assists (11 points) in this year’s […]

NHL Playoff Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks | Round 2, Game 7 | 05/20/2024

That was a good feeling for Stu, as he had to come back eventually. Stuart Skinner made his return to the net for the Edmonton Oilers. He hadn’t played since being pulled in Game 3 against the Vancouver Canucks. Kris Knoblauch had the cohones to start him in a Do-Or-Die elimination game after how he […]

NHL Playoff Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks | Round 2, Game 6 | 05/18/2024

Calvin Pickard deserved to win, the Edmonton Oilers deserved to lose. Our team actually came out strong in the first period. But then, in the last 40 minutes, the Vancouver Canucks wanted it more. They were clearly the better team on the ice. Edmonton looked better in the third period and was way more than […]

EDMONTON, AB – The Edmonton Oilers walked away with a dramatic 3-2 victory over the visiting Vancouver Canucks in Game 4 of the second round of the NHL Playoffs. On the heals of a Game 3 loss where Edmonton played good enough to win but fell victim to another poor showing by Stuart Skinner between […]

NHL Playoff Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks | Round 2, Game 5 | 05/16/2024

Playoff hockey can be defined by two words: intense and stupid. A series between two Canadian franchises, two very passionate fanbases, and some of the best players in the league turned into a battle of the AHL goalies overnight. Calvin Pickard, a 32-year-old NHL journeyman, finally got his first start in a postseason game on […]

NHL Playoffs: Who Should the Edmonton Oilers Start in Net in Game 5?

In his first-ever Stanley Cup Playoff start, Calvin Pickard led the Edmonton Oilers to a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks, evening the series at 2-2 on Tuesday night. The sold-out Rogers Place rallied behind him throughout the game, and he consistently made crucial saves despite heavy traffic in front of the net. Although two […]

NHL Playoff Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks | Round 2, Game 4 | 05/14/2024

After Game 3, Stuart Skinner now has the worst Playoff save percentage of any NHL goalie, with at least 20 games played since the 2005 lockout. A calculated .881 SV% on a Cup-contending team, .796 SV% in this series, is a challenge to defend. I don’t want to be too hard on Skinner, I really […]

Edmonton Oilers Plan to Start Calvin Pickard in Game 4

In what will be his first-ever Stanley Cup Playoff start, Calvin Pickard has been chosen as the starter over the primary starter Stuart Skinner for Game 4 of the Second Round against the Vancouver Canucks. This will be Pickard’s second career Stanley Cup Playoff game after making his debut in Game 3 making this a […]

NHL Playoffs: Edmonton Oilers vs. Vancouver Canucks | Round 2, Game 3 | 05/12/2024

“Game Time Decision” Of course, Leon Draisaitl was going to play in Game 2. Hockey is a magical sport where athletes pretend that they’re not injured. He scored on the powerplay, added 3 assists, and even took a face-off on a penalty kill. Did any of that look like a hurting player to you? All […]
