Edmonton Oilers Game 1 Thoughts

Was Edmonton’s preseason bad? Yeah. Am I concerned? Not really. We’re talking about practice. During the Decade Of Darkness, the Oilers sometimes had much better preseasons than regular seasons.

NHL Playoffs: Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings | Round 1, Game 4 | 04/28/2024

Game 3 was the type of game we need to see from Evander Kane on a more consistent basis. He made a nifty setup for a goal; he was a net-front presence for a goal of his own, he held his own physically and got into a scrap. When you’re as streaky a player as […]
