This Week On Oilers Hockey: 8
If Saturday’s matinee game isn’t the Edmonton Oilers in a freaking nutshell, I don’t know what is. Being down 3-0 after two periods against the Rangers, it looked like they’d go winless on their three game road trip, ending it on a very sour note. When that reality looked inevitable, the team exploded with a […]

NY Rangers Game 22 Recap: Third Period Collapse Dooms Rangers
It is officially time to worry about the NY Rangers. This is fresh off what can only be described as a full-blown 3rd-period collapse against the Edmonton Oilers to lose 4-3 in regulation. The Rangers entered the 3rd period leading 3-0. It was not perfect, but an impressive performance up to that point, considering they […]

Oilers: Here We Go Again?
It seems like a yearly occurrence, doesn’t it? The Oilers go through a rough patch and seemingly find themselves in a position where everyone forgets just how good they can be.

Is Dustin Schwartz Really The Problem?

Edmonton Oilers: Credit Is Due
The inspiration for this article comes from the tweets of @mathewjdp. So far this season, it seems that Bouchard has been struggling on both the offensive and defensive sides of the game. Offensively, it has been a step down on the score sheet compared to last season, as through 15 games, Evan Bouchard has a […]

What Evander Kane’s Injury Means
If you are a squeamish person, I hope you only heard about Kane’s slit wrist during Tuesday night’s Oilers game and didn’t watch it. I hope you didn’t go on YouTube and look up the incident after missing the game. I had to for the sake of this article, and I’m not the biggest fan […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 5
The win against Pittsburgh was excellent, the loss against New Jersey resulted from a seven-second sleeper shift, and the loss against Dallas was just a no-show… That is the best way to describe this past week. I’ve talked about goaltending enough times in my last few articles. Let’s discuss secondary scoring or lack thereof. Derek […]

Not the best week for the copper blue and orange, not how a fan would like to start the season with a six-game home stand, but there were some positives to look at. As funny as it is to keep seeing Brett Kulak trip on ice, leading to breakaways, it is impressive that he’s the […]
