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 […]

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.
