Connor McDavid

Kane The Oiler, One Year Later

With no Oilers games on all week, it does give us a chance to revisit a signing that came with controversy just a year ago. Edmonton, holding onto the first Wild Card spot with 60 points in the standings heading into the All-Star break, finds themselves in a slightly better position than at this same […]

Campbell Must Turn Around His Game for the Oilers

When it comes to the Edmonton Oilers, they are all offense all of the time. With guys like Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Evander Kane, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman, and Kailer Yamamoto, the puck will go in the net. The team’s offense has never really been a problem. It’s the goaltending that has hurt the Oilers. […]

It’s Anyone’s Game in the Pacific Division

When looking at the NHL standings this season, there are a lot of exciting races going on. Will the New Jersey Devils, who currently (Tuesday, January 31) have 68 points, find a way to catch the Carolina Hurricanes (72 points) for first in the Metropolitan Division? Will this be the year that the Buffalo Sabres […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 16

That game against the Lightning was fun, eh? The Oilers only play Tampa Bay twice a year, but you’d think they were long-time rivals with how heated and emotional the players on both sides got. We’re halfway through the regular season, and game 47 was a playoff-caliber game against the back-to-back-to-back Eastern Conference Champions. Not […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 15

As an Oilers fan who lives in Toronto, it feels nice to move on from a week of hockey that had me staying up until 1am or 1:30am four nights out of seven. Edmonton comes back to Rogers Place for a two-game homestand, having won three straight games. The LA game aside, it was a […]

Reasonable Expectations for the Edmonton Oilers

If we turned the calendar back exactly a year, we’d see the Edmonton Oilers in a glaringly similar position as they are today. A 6-4 loss at home against the lowly Ottawa Senators on January 15 dropped the Oilers’ record to 18-15-2, and the season’s outlook would seem even more grim after fans watched their […]

Mid-Season Odds For Rocket Richard Trophy Winner

Halfway through the season, there is no clear favorite to win the Rocket Richard Trophy. This year’s competition features some of the league’s best young stars and veterans the NHL has to offer. As it stands right now, the top three goal scorers in the league are Connor McDavid (37), David Pastrnak (33), and Tage […]

Pastrnak In the Hunt For His Second Rocket Richard Trophy

In a contract year, David Pastrnak has not disappointed for the Boston Bruins. The beloved Czech forward is once again doing what he does best, score goals. Since coming into the league during the 2014-15 season, Pastrnak has tallied 272 goals in 550 games. This includes six 30-goal seasons over his nine-year career. At 26 […]

Tage Thompson On Pace To Win His First Rocket Richard Trophy

Tage Thompson has quickly risen to stardom early on in his career. Prior to last season, the now 25-year-old had a career-high of eight goals. After coming over from the St. Louis Blues in a trade to the Buffalo Sabers, they had hoped the young 6’6″ forward would blossom into the star the Blues had […]

Ducks Blown Out Again

The Ducks followed up a 7-1 massacre at the hands of the first-place Boston Bruins Sunday night with a 6-2 blowout against the Edmonton Oilers. The last time these two teams met, Ducks’ top goalie prospect Lukas Dostal stopped 46 of 49 shots and stole a win from Edmonton 4-3, even though the Ducks were […]
