NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Washington Capitals | 03/13/2024
In Edmonton’s second blowout win against the Penguins this season, Darnell Nurse had himself a really good bounce-back game after some shifts in Buffalo that I wasn’t a huge fan of. He did take one needless penalty in the first period that Twitter showed no mercy towards. He made up for it the rest of […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. Below-average goaltending was Edmonton’s biggest plague between October and November. A team that was viewed by many […]
