Opinion: The Oilers Still Have a Goaltending Problem Heading Into the Upcoming Season

There is no doubt that the Oilers have a lot going for them heading into the upcoming season. For starters, they have Connor McDavid. McDavid, 28, is a point-producing machine for the franchise as he scores goals, puts up a lot of assists, contributes on the power play, comes up big in key moments, and […]

Tkachuk called it a year ago that Florida would see Edmonton in the final this season. Both teams are a year older, a year wiser, and contain fresh blood that’s eager to earn their name on the Cup. This series is going to be a hard test of wills. Florida aims to go back-to-back, while […]
