Despite a McDavid goose egg Bruins fall to Oilers 3-2

A two goal performance from the top talent in the world, Connor McDavid, on February 27th was not enough for the Edmonton Oilers to skate past the Boston Bruins.

Why Aren’t We Talking About Draisaitl?

If you play for the Edmonton Oilers, then chances are that you are going to be overshadowed by Connor McDavid. This is obviously understandable.

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.

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.
