Eberle Or Perron: Who Would Edmonton Take Back?

For the record, I don’t want the Edmonton Oilers to pursue another forward. I’d rather see them spend their trade assets on a bigger area of need for the roster. But I’ve recently heard Jordan Eberle and David Perron as options that were tossed around Edmonton. This is a pretty interesting discussion to have. Both […]

Oilers Game 7: New York Rangers

Rather than calling this Game 7 of the regular season, we should call it Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Maybe if Edmonton pretends that’s what it is, we won’t see third periods like the one on Tuesday night. Jack Campbell was statistically bad, allowing 6 goals on 31 shots. But he was bailing […]

Oilers Playoffs: Round 1 – Game 5 Preview

“Up and down like a toilet seat.” Monday night was the return of Ken Holland’s famous words for the first time in these Playoffs. Whatever was said in the Oilers locker room after that first period worked. Down 3-0 after 20 minutes, they started the game looking deflated. They looked like they were too afraid […]

Line Over the Boards Apr 24th: All Knotted Heading Back to Edmonton 2-2

Last night’s game was more of the same for the LA Kings, with a few wrinkles. Kevin Fiala returned for the Kings and made an immediate impact with two assists in the 1st period, where the Kings came out and. built a 3-0 lead after one. However, LA showed up flat in the 2nd period […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 25

A week without a single loss. Kane, Draisaitl, and McDavid all reached 300 career goals. Draisaitl recorded his third 50 goal season. Back-to-back shutouts from both goalies after not having even one all season long. And the Edmonton Oilers are officially a playoff team in 2023 after Saturday night’s win. Yes, this was a very […]
