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. This is a terrible start for a team that is supposed to contend for the Stanley Cup this season. If you […]

Oilers Game 1: Vancouver Canucks

We’re back. We’re finally back. It’s Christmas in October, and we can cheer and rant about hockey games again. The Edmonton Oilers season opener starts on the road against a team vastly different from them with regard to leaguewide view. In one corner, we have a team with the biggest Stanley Cup aspirations in Canada. […]

Goaltending Will Be Key to Oilers’ Success in Upcoming Season

When it comes to the Edmonton Oilers, one word comes to mind – offense. The Oilers had the league’s best offense last season. They scored 325 goals and averaged close to four goals per game (3.96) in the regular season last year. With the likes of Connor McDavid (153 points), Leon Draisaitl (128 points), Ryan […]

Leafs Goalies Jack Campbell and Frederik Andersen

The Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Franchise Goalies

In the first round of the 2005 Entry Draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs selected a goalie with the 21st overall pick. This goalie would go on to become the winningest goalie in franchise history, leading them to 3 Stanley Cup Finals and 1 Stanley Cup victory while also winning a Vezina Trophy and William M. […]

Bargain Bin: Oilers, Jets, Flyers, Bruins, NHL Draft

It feels like there’s not a lot going on, but so much at the same time in the National Hockey League. In Saturday’s edition of Bargain Bin, I focused on a lot of rumour-based stuff and some news. Today, I’m going to focus on some more news and less of the rumour-based stuff without straying […]

What’s next for the Oilers?

You could’ve made a drinking game out of all the times Ken Holland used the word “devastated” when talking about the mood of the Oilers franchise in this week’s end-of-season press conferences. Instead of starting Round 3, they cleaned out their lockers earlier than they wanted. Three 100+ point players, including Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for the […]

Jack Campbell and Stuart Skinner on the ice for the Edmonton Oilers

Poor Goaltending Sinks Oilers Once Again

It is always the same story, different day for the Edmonton Oilers. Led by generational talents and superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, the Oilers had a great regular season and looked like Stanley Cup contenders. The team scores a lot of goals, plays good enough defense, and gets the goaltending they need in order […]

Oilers Playoffs: Round 2 – Game 4 Preview

I couldn’t sit and watch Game 3 on Monday night. I could only check the score on my phone every once in a while. I was out of the house that whole evening but did make it home on time to watch the third period if I wanted to. But I felt there was no […]

Oilers Playoffs Preview: Round 2 – Game 1 Preview

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl scored goals in an elimination game on Saturday night, as you expect superstars to do in big moments. And yet, it’s not even their goals that were talked about. It was evident throughout the first round that the Edmonton Oilers no longer fit the one- or two-man team narrative they’ve […]

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 […]
