This Week On Oilers Hockey: 5

The win against Pittsburgh was excellent, the loss against New Jersey resulted from a seven-second sleeper shift, and the loss against Dallas was just a no-show… That is the best way to describe this past week. I’ve talked about goaltending enough times in my last few articles. Let’s discuss secondary scoring or lack thereof. Derek […]

Let’s Look At the Oilers’ Bottom-Six

With pre-season right around the corner and opening night not much farther away, the Oilers will finally have a look at the new faces on the team.

A Trade Is Going To Be Made…

It’s safe to say the off-season had been a win so far for Ken Holland, as he has made multiple great value signings this summer.

Oilers: Internal Growth is the Key to a Successful 2022-23 Season

The Edmonton Oilers have succeeded thus far in their goal of bringing back the most significant personnel that got them to the Western Conference Finals last season, thanks to the subtraction of some of their more bloated contracts.

Duncan Keith Has Called It A Career

Oilers Trade Zack Kassian to Arizona Coyotes

After another rough season for Zack Kassian in Edmonton, which saw him put up 19 points in 58 games, Kassian found his name on the chopping block again. With multiple rumors swirling around about where he could be dealt, with teams like Columbus Blue Jackets and the Ottawa Senators being named, it all came to […]

Opinion: Losing Puljujarvi Would Be a Big Blunder for Oilers

Since joining the Oilers in 2016, after being selected 4th overall in the NHL Entry Draft, Jesse Puljujarvi has had a rocky relationship with the Oilers.
