Connor McDavid Out With Upper-Body Injury

The Edmonton Oilers announced that Connor McDavid will be out one to two weeks with an upper-body injury that was sustained during the final five minutes of the third period in Saturday’s overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets. There is no doubt that the injury to McDavid is a massive blow to the Oilers moving […]

Oilers Game 5: Winnipeg Jets

Who had Jay Woodcroft dropping an F-bomb on their hockey season bingo card? A calmer, more optimistic coach had to lose his patience at some point. The sky is not falling, and there are still 78 games left to play. But for a team that said it’s “Cup or Bust,” they seem to be more […]

Goalie Choice Was the Difference Tuesday in DFS

Tuesday night was the right night to start the journey from $0-$500. Unfortunately, it also was a night of poor decisions and inaccurate gut feelings. Before heading to work Tuesday morning, while enjoying a coffee, I opened up to see what the Vegas lines were for the night and the over/under for each game. Right […]

Oilers Game 4: Philadelphia Flyers

Oilers fans are sane again, splendid. Lose the first game by seven goals, then the next game by one goal, and win the next game by five goals. It’s just as the hockey gods intended. I didn’t realize this until the first goal was scored, but Leon Drasaitl is now Edmonton’s franchise leader in powerplay […]

Opinion: The Oilers Defence is a Mess…Again

All offseason, we heard the same old story from the Oilers organization. “We learned lessons”. “Defence is a priority”.

And offer a solution at the end, specifically meant for the ears of Ken […]

Oilers Game 3: Nashville Predators

At least the second game was better than the first game. You know hockey season is back when Oilers fans lose their minds on Twitter/X. Edmonton seemed perfectly in control just a minute into the game when they’d already made it 1-0. Then momentum shifted, and Vancouver kept taking the lead back whenever the Oilers […]

Oilers Game 2: Vancouver Canucks

If you’re an Oilers fan living in Vancouver or an Oilers fan who traveled to Vancouver and attended Wednesday night’s game, I am so terribly sorry. Every word I could use to describe Edmonton’s season opener would be an understatement. To put it politely, they just did not show up. Jack Campbell and Stuart Skinner […]

Oilers Game 1: Vancouver Canucks

We’re back. We’re finally back. It’s Christmas in October, and we can cheer and rant about hockey games again. The Edmonton Oilers season opener starts on the road against a team vastly different from them with regard to leaguewide view. In one corner, we have a team with the biggest Stanley Cup aspirations in Canada. […]

Keys To The Oilers Success In 2023-2024

Heading into Thanksgiving weekend, let’s all be thankful that NHL hockey is coming back. Every offseason feels too long, and every first week feels like Christmas in October. Much has been said about how much hungrier Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are to have their names engraved on the Stanley Cup. Last year’s second round […]

Ghosts Of Oilers Past: Nail Yakupov
