NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Chicago Blackhawks | 01/09/2024

How many screenshots did you take of the NHL standings after Saturday night’s win? Oh, man. There’s still lots of hockey left, but you can’t tell me it doesn’t feel nice to finally see the Oilers logo in a Playoff position after the team’s godawful start to the season. The Coyotes and Flames even lost […]

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”. But after two embarrassing losses to the Vancouver Canucks, the Oilers are back at square one. What’s wrong? Let’s break it down. And offer a solution at the end, specifically meant for the ears of Ken […]

Bargain Bin: Oilers, Jets, Flyers, Bruins, NHL Draft

It feels like there’s not a lot going on, but so much at the same time in the National Hockey League. In Saturday’s edition of Bargain Bin, I focused on a lot of rumour-based stuff and some news. Today, I’m going to focus on some more news and less of the rumour-based stuff without straying […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 26

Happy Easter, Oilers fans. Your holiday gift, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, is a 100 point player. The longest current Oiler, who had played through many of Edmonton’s darkest seasons since being drafted, and now part of a Stanley Cup contender after 12 NHL seasons. Turning 30 on Wednesday, he still looks like an 18-year-old going first overall […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 24

Congrats to Cody Ceci for playing his 700th NHL game on Saturday night. He has notoriously been a whipping boy for the analytics community and has not played his best hockey paired with Darnell Nurse throughout most of this season. But it’s still a significant accomplishment for any player, and there’s still a lot of […]

Something To Prove For The Oilers

Finally, we have made it. The 2022-23 season is here, as the Oilers and Canucks gear up to play tonight. This is one of the best months in the hockey season; you finally get to see the new faces play in real games, and you see teams that could surprise and teams that may disappoint. […]

Ten Oilers To Watch In 2023

No, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl will not be on this list. The whole world already knows what they’re getting out of the two faces of the franchise. As high as Oilers fans felt and still feel about their team’s recent run to the Conference Finals, it also comes with much higher expectations with just […]

The Nuge Has Been Huge For Edmonton

When people talk about the Oilers, there’s a pretty high chance that they’re talking about 1) McDavid, 2) Draisaitl, or 3) McDavid and Draisaitl, and for a good reason as (and stop me if you’ve heard this before) both are having stellar seasons. Especially the new guys, like Hyman, who is one goal away from […]
