NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Boston Bruins | 02/21/2024

Back-to-back wins for the first time this month. That’s a nice change from the “win one, lose one” streak they had going on for a couple of weeks. I don’t know how I can review Monday night’s game because it’s the exact same thing I’d been talking about in my previous recaps and previews recently. […]

NHL Trade Rumors: A Look At The Columbus Blue Jacket’s Only Pending UFA

As alluded to in the headline, there is only one pending UFA for the Blue Jackets right now, and that is Jack Roslovic. For those who may not know all of the lingo or what it means, generally when a player’s contract expires they become a ‘free agent’ and are usually referred to as ‘unrestricted’ […]

Edmonton Oilers: Lineup Changes At Practice

Oilers TV reporter Tony Brar tweeted out the lineup during practice this afternoon in Coachella Valley as they prepare for Friday night’s game against the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center. There were some pretty amusing changes made by head coach Kris Knoblauch. It doesn’t always mean that will be the roster that’s iced, but […]

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 […]

Wild Put Defenseman on LTIR, Recall Defensemen/Forward from Iowa

The Minnesota Wild have recalled defensemen Dakota Mermis and Daemon Hunt and forward Vinni Lettieri from the Iowa Wild and placed defenseman Jonas Brodin on Long Term Injured Reserve. This came after the unexpected news that the Assistant GM was leaving the front office. Jonas Brodin was injured on a controversial hit from behind delivered […]

Stars Hold off Oilers 4-3 in Edmonton

The Dallas Stars continued the three-game Canadian road trip with a Thursday night game against the Edmonton Oilers. The Stars held off the Oilers for a 4-3 win at Rogers Arena. Dallas improved to 7-1-1, while Edmonton fell to 2-6-1. Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner made 23 saves in a losing effort. The Stars’ starting lineup […]

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 […]

Evander Kane Leaving the Hockey Diversity Alliance

Evander Kane is in the news again this Summer, this time leaving the Hockey Diversity Alliance. Otherwise known as the HDA, it was initially founded by a group of former players and hockey icons to help promote diversity within hockey and, most importantly, combat racism in the sport we love. The HDA has been controversial […]

Golden Knights Pietrangelo and Oilers Nurse both suspended 1 game

The NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced the suspension on Thursday. The Vegas Golden Knights will be without their best defenseman in Game 5, with their second-round series against the Edmonton Oilers hanging in the balance. Alex Pietrangelo was suspended for one game Thursday by the NHL Department of Player Safety for his slash on Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl […]

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 […]
