If you ever have spare time when an Oilers game isn’t on, watch a Habs game on TSN. I don’t think there’s a blunter colour commentator than Craig Button.  Both Evan Bouchard and Stuart Skinner needed that Overtime win more than anybody else in Edmonton. Skinner hadn’t won a game in a month, has been […]

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, […]

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 […]
