Bakersfield Condors goaltender #36 Jack Campbell and defenseman #5 Philip Broberg

What If Jack Campbell Came Back To Edmonton?

Before you start typing your comments, note that this is only a hypothetical question. Whether or not it happens is not set in stone. Even when your team keeps winning, there’s nothing wrong with entertaining possibilities or pondering scenarios. The turnaround that the Oilers have seen in their goaltending has been astronomical. Stuart Skinner went […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Nashville Predators | 01/27/2024

I’m running out of positive things to write about this team. The Edmonton Oilers won again- great. 15 in a row- fantastic. There’s your coverage; moving on. It was easier and more depressing to write about the Oilers when they were losing. That feels like a year ago now, and we’re only a month into […]

Elvis Merzlikins celebrates a shutout victory over the Vancouver Canucks

Should the Edmonton Oilers Acquire Elvis Merzlikins?

While the Edmonton Oilers enjoy their rise in the NHL standings these last couple of months, it’s not a bad idea to discuss a position that is always a hot-button topic in Oil Country, even before this season.

Edmonton went into the Christmas break with back-to-back third period comeback wins. Last Friday’s game against the Rangers cloned their win against the Devils the night prior to. […]

Oilers Game 28: Florida Panthers

Lose one after winning eight, and a lot of people lose their minds again. You’ve just got to love Oilers Twitter. But there’s still nothing wrong with analyzing why Thursday night’s game sums up the entire Oilers season thus far. It was probably one of the more entertaining losses I’ve ever sat through. Edmonton was […]

Oilers Game 18: Carolina Hurricanes

Connor McDavid had his first two goal game of the season on Monday night. Yes, that does sound weird to say. No, I didn’t make that up. That’s how odd of a season it has been, along with every other issue plaguing the Edmonton Oilers. McDavid is currently on pace for 80 points in 80 […]
