Will the Edmonton Oilers Depth Be Enough in the Playoffs?

As of late, the depth of the Edmonton Oilers lineup has shown up in a big way, especially in the past two games. The Edmonton Oilers clinched a playoff berth on Friday night against the Colorado Avalanche with a 6-2 win with depth scoring from Evander Kane and Corey Perry. In the final Battle of […]

Connor Brown celebrates his first goal of the season

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Colorado Avalanche | 03/16/2024

Hell froze over, and pigs were flying. On Wednesday night, Connor Brown finally scored a goal for the Edmonton Oilers. In his 55th game of the season, he got the monkey off his back, or as he put it, full-blown gorilla. His last goal before that was scored on March 24th, 2022, almost exactly two […]

PHOTOS: Washington Capitals vs. Edmonton Oilers – 03/13/2024

EDMONTON, AB – Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals traveled to Edmonton Wednesday to take on the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place.

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 […]

Will Connor Brown Ever Score Again?

A goal, my kingdom for a goal. Assuming Connor Brown is a fan of Shakespeare, that’s probably what he screams in his head every time he misses a scoring chance. We have seen the Edmonton Oilers turn the biggest corner they’ve ever turned. Oilers’ Twitter is a happier place to log onto since late November. […]

Oilers Game 10: Nashville Predators

Well, I can’t give the usual rant I have about the Oilers losing due to a lack of effort. They were the better team on Thursday, just really unlucky. Evan Bouchard had a hat trick of goalposts hit, and too many fluky bounces didn’t find their way into the net. But they couldn’t get a […]

Opinion: Building The Oilers’ Bottom Six

Redoing the bottom six. It seems to be a yearly occurrence for the Edmonton Oilers, whose heavy cap situation leaves them in a constant state of bottom six turnover. This year’s approach ended with GM Ken Holland using a couple of player tryout contracts, a clever signing, and some rookie development. Here is what I […]

Capitals Set to Rebound From Disappointing 2022-2023 Season

In the 2022-2023 NHL season, the Washington Capitals found themselves missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in nine seasons. Poor coaching choices, injuries, and a lack of discipline on the ice left the team with a 35-37-10 record, finishing the season 6th in the NHL Metropolitan Division. As the 2023-2024 season quickly […]

What is “Robidas Island”?

On Wednesday, it was announced by the Toronto Maple Leafs that Matt Murray and his whole $4.867 million cap hit would be placed on LTIR, essentially meaning it won’t count against the Leafs cap hit in the coming 2023-2024 season (It’s a little more complicated than that, but for the sake of ease, that’s what […]

Oilers: What Can Brown Do For You?

Connor McDavid gets reunited with an old Ontario Hockey League teammate. 29-year-old Connor Brown signed a one-year, $4M contract with the Edmonton Oilers on Free Agent Frenzy. Calm down; not all of the $4M is counting against Edmonton’s salary cap this coming season. He’s only signed to make $775K, with $3.25M in performance bonuses. Brown […]
