Oilers @ Blues Post Game Review: Oilers-2 Blues-4

So I guess it was rust… not near the best performance as Oilers start flat and end flat, losing to the Blues 4-2. It wasn’t a strong game for many. The Oilers played slow, not physical, and looked very lazy. The Blues, on the other hand, looked anything but that, as they were flying, and […]

Three Defensemen the Oilers Could Target by the Trade Deadline

In 2021, the Oilers made a ton of moves, both offensively and defensively. Picking up players such as Zach Hyman, Cody Ceci, Warren Foegele, and Duncan Keith.

Week five of the fantasy season is now over, and one of our usual suspects is back with some surprise company. Leon Draisaitl returns with the company of Charlie McAvoy and MacKenzie Blackwood. I have to admit that seeing Draisaitl continue to outperform Connor McDavid in the statistics will be something to watch as the […]

A Look Inside Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ Incredible Playmaking Run

An Apple a Day If you had told me before the season started that after 13 games, the Edmonton Oilers would have the NHL leader in assists on their team and that the player wasn’t named Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl, I would have called you a lunatic. And yet here we are, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, […]

Is Leon Draisaitl Underrated?

Leon Draisaitl is off to an incredible start to the 2021-22 season, with 23 points in his first 11 games. He is currently tied with Connor McDavid for 1st in league scoring and has been a considerable part of the Oilers’ powerplay that sits at a mind-boggling 46.9% success rate. Leon already has a Hart […]
