This Week On Oilers Hockey: 21

Except for Saturday’s loss, this past week looked like a statement week for the Oilers. They held their own against the Bruins, the best team in the East. That night’s physical element made the Mattias Ekholm trade a perfect fit. Then, against the Maple Leafs and the first of that back-to-back against the Jets, they […]

Nikita Kucherov Reaches 700 Career Points

There was one bright spot in a game the Tampa Bay Lightning would like to forget. Star winger Nikita Kucherov reached 700 points in a 7-3 beatdown against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Edmonton Oilers Must Take Advantage of McDavid’s Historic Season

When you have Connor McDavid on your team, you are always going to be a contender. McDavid’s heroics have continued, as he is now up to 46 goals and 109 points in 59 games. He is at a 150-point pace for the 2022-23 season and is showing no signs of slowing down. Outside of him, […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 19

Lots of hype from some of Edmonton’s hockey media regarding trades. That hype ultimately led to nothing. Erik Karlsson was just about the only thing Oilers fans could talk about. After it’d been reported that McDavid and Draisaitl went to Ken Holland and stated that they wanted him to get a puck-moving defenseman, Holland made […]

I hope my fellow Oilers fans had a nice week just to get away from the never-ending emotional rollercoaster that is our hockey team. The All-Stars had their fun, and now we can go back to the real hockey business. Edmonton is currently holding onto the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, three […]

Campbell Must Turn Around His Game for the Oilers

When it comes to the Edmonton Oilers, they are all offense all of the time. With guys like Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Evander Kane, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Zach Hyman, and Kailer Yamamoto, the puck will go in the net. The team’s offense has never really been a problem. It’s the goaltending that has hurt the Oilers. […]

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 […]

Ducks Blown Out Again

The Ducks followed up a 7-1 massacre at the hands of the first-place Boston Bruins Sunday night with a 6-2 blowout against the Edmonton Oilers. The last time these two teams met, Ducks’ top goalie prospect Lukas Dostal stopped 46 of 49 shots and stole a win from Edmonton 4-3, even though the Ducks were […]
