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 […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 22

After Saturday’s 7-4 loss against the Maple Leafs, Ryan McLeod and Vincent Desharnais were initially on the list of players to speak with the media. But as Oilers media members pointed out on Twitter, they had their names taken off that list; Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Evander Kane answered questions instead. As someone who attended the […]

Kane The Oiler, One Year Later

With no Oilers games on all week, it does give us a chance to revisit a signing that came with controversy just a year ago. Edmonton, holding onto the first Wild Card spot with 60 points in the standings heading into the All-Star break, finds themselves in a slightly better position than at this same […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 16

That game against the Lightning was fun, eh? The Oilers only play Tampa Bay twice a year, but you’d think they were long-time rivals with how heated and emotional the players on both sides got. We’re halfway through the regular season, and game 47 was a playoff-caliber game against the back-to-back-to-back Eastern Conference Champions. Not […]

Time to Give Ken Holland His Roses

Not even a year ago, maybe not even six months ago, I was a Ken Holland critic, but now the time has come to give Ken Holland his flowers. Many have failed as Oilers G.M over the last 15 years, from Peter Chiarelli to Steve Tambellini, the man making the moves has continually disappointed fans […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 15

As an Oilers fan who lives in Toronto, it feels nice to move on from a week of hockey that had me staying up until 1am or 1:30am four nights out of seven. Edmonton comes back to Rogers Place for a two-game homestand, having won three straight games. The LA game aside, it was a […]

Reasonable Expectations for the Edmonton Oilers

If we turned the calendar back exactly a year, we’d see the Edmonton Oilers in a glaringly similar position as they are today. A 6-4 loss at home against the lowly Ottawa Senators on January 15 dropped the Oilers’ record to 18-15-2, and the season’s outlook would seem even more grim after fans watched their […]

Ro Exotic (Robin Lehner) Files for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

It wasn’t the regular update on a player on the LTIR we expect to hear at some point during the season. It wasn’t injury related at all. Injured Vegas Golden Knights goalie Robin Lehner revealed he and his wife Donya filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy with liabilities between $10 million and $50 million in late […]
