Elvis Merzlikins celebrates a shutout victory over the Vancouver Canucks

Should the Edmonton Oilers Acquire Elvis Merzlikins?

While the Edmonton Oilers enjoy their rise in the NHL standings these last couple of months, it’s not a bad idea to discuss a position that is always a hot-button topic in Oil Country, even before this season. Below-average goaltending was Edmonton’s biggest plague between October and November. A team that was viewed by many […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Ottawa Senators|1/6/2024

Connor McDavid had a five-point game on Tuesday night, the most productive game we’ve seen from the Edmonton captain all season long, 35 games in. He also became the fifth fastest player to reach 900 points behind Wayne Gretzky(385 games), Mario Lemieux(463 games), Mike Bossy(582 games) and Peter Stastny(599 games). Before McDavid’s injury, some fans […]

Oilers Game 28: Florida Panthers

Lose one after winning eight, and a lot of people lose their minds again. You’ve just got to love Oilers Twitter. But there’s still nothing wrong with analyzing why Thursday night’s game sums up the entire Oilers season thus far. It was probably one of the more entertaining losses I’ve ever sat through. Edmonton was […]

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 […]

Goaltending Continues to Be a Problem for the Oilers

It may be a new NHL season, but the Edmonton Oilers are already displaying the same problem that has plagued them repeatedly over the last few seasons. The Oilers are 1-4-0-1 through six games.
