Edmonton Oilers Pregame Thoughts
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 […]

A Playoff type of game in early December, that’s pretty cool. Edmonton failed to sweep their three game road trip, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. 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.

Brett Kulak is on pace for a 21 goal season. I just thought that was a fun thing to say. The way the second period ended brought flashbacks of last year’s second round, when the Oilers had a 3-0 nothing lead in the third period of Game 7 against the Canucks and nearly blew it. […]

At least the captain is back, that’s cool. Although Connor McDavid didn’t get a single point in his return on Wednesday, he did have two pretty good rush chances. In his first game back from an injury last season, he had two shots then as well, along with an assist and two blocked shots. I […]
