They scored 325 goals and averaged close to four goals per game (3.96) in the regular season last year. With the likes of Connor McDavid (153 points), Leon Draisaitl (128 points), Ryan […]

Why Eichel Is Going to Go Off Next Season

There is always pressure when you are a high pick in the NHL Entry Draft. As soon as you come into the league, you are expected to be the team’s savior. You are expected to help your team win, produce, and be one of your team’s best players. You are supposed to do these things […]

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.

Jack Eichel Wins A Stanley Cup Before Connor McDavid

Jack Eichel might have been drafted second overall in the 2015 NHL draft, but he’s the first from North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, to win the Stanley Cup. While the Buffalo Sabres would initially draft Eichel, time passed, and he was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights. A small town that could’ve just continued to do what […]

What’s next for the Oilers?

You could’ve made a drinking game out of all the times Ken Holland used the word “devastated” when talking about the mood of the Oilers franchise in this week’s end-of-season press conferences. Instead of starting Round 3, they cleaned out their lockers earlier than they wanted. Three 100+ point players, including Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for the […]
