Hart Memorial Trophy Odds: Winners and Losers

With every season, we see players at the top of their game, whether they have been there for a couple of seasons or this is their breakout year. These players get recognized for this hard work and top of the gameplay that they demonstrate over an 82-game season by winning the Hart Memorial Trophy, the […]

Comparing the Oilers to Other Teams With Generational Talent

The term “generational talent” gets thrown around far too often these days. I consider a talent to be generational when they are the clear-cut best player in the world for the majority of their careers. There may be a few exceptions, such as Crosby and Ovechkin both being generational talents at the top of their […]

Predators win streak ends at 3

Juuse Saros did everything he could for the Preds to come away with one point in Thursday night’s shootout loss in Edmonton. Prior to the season, most pundits predicted the Oilers to make the playoffs easily and for the Predators to be fighting for a chance to play in April. Fast forward to the end […]

Things Get Heated Between Draisaitl And Reporter

During an interview today, Hockey Hall Of Fame reporter Jim Matheson asked Oilers star forward Leon Draisaitl what the problem is and what the Oilers “need to get better at.”.

5 New Years Resolutions for the Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers have had their ups and down in 2021. They started the year off with a mostly stellar 2021 regular season, but were surprisingly swept in the first round of the playoffs by a Winnipeg Jets team that they had handled easily in the regular season. Finally, they capped off they year with […]

How Important Is Darnell Nurse to the Oilers?

This summer, Ken Holland extended Darnell Nurse to a controversial contract extension worth $9.25 million AAV. While I believe the contract was an overpay, it was a player they absolutely needed to sign. After losing Oscar Klefbom, Adam Larsson, and Ethan Bear over the course of two seasons, the Oilers have had to lean on […]

Oilers @ Blues Post Game Review: Oilers-2 Blues-4

So I guess it was rust… not near the best performance as Oilers start flat and end flat, losing to the Blues 4-2. It wasn’t a strong game for many. The Oilers played slow, not physical, and looked very lazy. The Blues, on the other hand, looked anything but that, as they were flying, and […]

Is Ken Holland “Peter Chiarelli 2.0?”

Peter Chiarelli will forever be an infamous figure in Edmonton thanks to a less than successful tenure as general manager and president of hockey operations for the Oilers from 2015-2019. During these four years, Chiarelli failed to surround Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl with enough talent to threaten for a Stanley Cup and was fired […]

The Oilers Bottom 6: It’s a Problem

With arguably the two best players in the NHL on their team and a talented top six, the Oilers have a great template to build a championship team around. The top six is so lethal that all the Oilers need is a half-decent bottom six to have arguably the top forward group in the league. […]
