Edmonton Oilers Pregame Thoughts
Sportsnet was airing an Edmonton Oilers game from the 80s on Saturday. Oh, what? It was a 2024 Oilers game? My mistake. Stuart Skinner can laugh now at his blunder that inched the Golden Knights 2 goals closer to a comeback from 5-0 down. Stopping 38 shots out of 41 is still a solid night, […]

People are liking 25 and 74 again, I think that’s nice. In his last five starts, Stuart Skinner is 4-1 with a .947 SV% and a 1.40 GAA. Only citing these games seems like a cherry pick, as his overall stats still don’t look great this season. But what matters is they are trending in […]

Zach Hyman wasn’t picked for Team Canada, and he took that personally. Thursday night was his first game back from his injury and he came up with a 2 goal performance. He was even part of a successful coach’s challenge made by the other team, that never happens. On second thought, maybe that’s why he […]

In the first two periods, both the Oilers and Golden Knights were playing a tight defensive game. Then the third period made it possibly the most entertaining […]

Who told them to play a game as good as that one? That’s unfathomable. How dare they confuse Oilers fans like that. Edmonton entered the second half of a back-to-back road trip and held it together against an elite offensive team. Though the Avalanche have been dealing with depth injuries and have had as unideal […]

They overcame the US turkey legs coming from the other side of the border. Edmonton started last night’s game playing like they’d just taken a week off. It’s normal, layoffs aren’t always kind to any team. Goals against came off of turnovers and bad line changes. A 2-0 deficit in the first period wasn’t part […]

Oilers fans are happy again… For now. Before I talk hockey, in case you missed it, Edmonton claimed forward Kasperi Kapanen on Tuesday before their Ottawa game started. He was placed on waivers by the St. Louis Blues. Picked 22nd overall by the Maple Leafs in 2014, he has played 470 NHL games, putting up […]
