Should The Edmonton Oilers Pursue Anthony Mantha?

On a recent episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman entertained the idea of the Edmonton Oilers making a trade with the Washington Capitals for forward Anthony Mantha. He sighted Ken Holland’s history with Mantha, selecting him 20th overall in the 2013 NHL Draft when he was the general manager of the Detroit Red […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings | 02/26/2024

I like the Battle of Alberta better when we win. Instead, we went back to watching October and November style hockey from Edmonton against the worst possible opponent. The Flames came prepared to play, and the Oilers did not; it was as simple as that. Evan Bouchard and Mattias Ekholm have been a great pairing […]

Edmonton Oilers Interested In Henrique and Carrick?

On last night’s Hockey Night In Canada broadcast during the second intermission of the Maple Leafs and Avalanche game, Elliotte Friedman gave his Saturday Headlines segment. One of those headlines was the Edmonton Oilers being connected to forwards Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick from the Anaheim Ducks. Related Post: Could the Oilers Switch Kulak For […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Calgary Flames | 02/24/2024

They went from having awful second periods and great third periods to having a great second period and awful third periods. Talk about pulling a complete 180. Actually, it’s not even that the third period was bad. Edmonton outshot Minnesota 24-7 in the final frame, but Filip Gustavsson did what Calvin Pickard could not. Coming […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Minnesota Wild | 02/23/2024

That was certainly a fun way to start a homestand. Of all the teams to come back from three goals down against, I would never expect it to be the Boston Bruins. But that’s why hockey games are played on the ice, not on paper. Corey Perry is exactly as advertised when he came to […]

Bruins Win Their Second Straight Game 6-5 in Overtime vs. Edmonton Oilers 2/21/2024

The Bruins pulled through after they blew a three-goal lead, and Charlie McAvoy won it in overtime for the 6-5 final against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday, February 21st at Rogers Place. Boston recovered after a four-game loss streak that began after they shutout the Vancouver Canucks on February 8th. They won in a shootout […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Boston Bruins | 02/21/2024

Back-to-back wins for the first time this month. That’s a nice change from the “win one, lose one” streak they had going on for a couple of weeks. I don’t know how I can review Monday night’s game because it’s the exact same thing I’d been talking about in my previous recaps and previews recently. […]

Mark Hunter: The Next Oilers GM?

Ken Holland, the current general manager of the Edmonton Oilers, is leaning towards retirement at the end of the 2023/2024 season. This is not news, it was a thing we learned about last season. Who his replacement could be is the question we ponder. Elliotte Friedman spoke about this on the 32 Thoughts podcast, the […]

Should The Edmonton Oilers Pursue Chris Tanev?

Trade with the rivals? What sort of blasphemy is this? Yes, I am absolutely contemplating the Edmonton Oilers making a deal with the Calgary Flames. Vancouver Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal reported that Edmonton was making a push for Tanev’s services. It wouldn’t be the first time the two Alberta teams decided to be friends in […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Arizona Coyotes | 02/19/2024

The day before yesterday’s game, someone on Twitter asked if Edmonton’s recent stretch in February was a cause for concern. They cited stats in the comments section that were comparing their current play to what it was during their 16 straight wins. My take? There is no concern, at least not a massive one. I […]
