PHOTOS: Washington Capitals vs. Edmonton Oilers – 03/13/2024

EDMONTON, AB – Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals traveled to Edmonton Wednesday to take on the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place. The Oilers would get off to a roaring start, burying a pair of power-to-play goals in the opening seven minutes, but the Capitals quickly clawed their way back into the game by burying […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins | 03/10/2024

Losing a game twice feels worse than losing a game once. I wonder how both Oilers and Sabres fans who attended yesterday’s game felt like when the Overtime goal was called back for offside. Both rosters had already headed back to their respective locker rooms; I hadn’t shut off my T.V. yet, and then the […]

Bruins Lose in OT 2-1 vs. Edmonton Oilers During JVR’s 1,000th | 3/5/2024

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Boston Bruins | 03/05/2024

Heading into that back-to-back weekend for the Oilers, I felt that they should’ve played Calvin Pickard against the Kraken and Stuart Skinner against the Penguins. I shared that opinion on Twitter/X, but then had to retweet it, saying that I stood corrected. That is why I just write about hockey games and don’t actually play […]

Evgeni Malkin scored the lone goal for the Penguins in a 6-1 loss against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, March 3rd at Rogers Place.

Columbus Blue Jacket's Jack Roslovic watching Boone Jenner score against the Tampa Bay Lightning

NHL Trade Rumors: A Look At The Columbus Blue Jacket’s Only Pending UFA

As alluded to in the headline, there is only one pending UFA for the Blue Jackets right now, and that is Jack Roslovic. For those who may not know all of the lingo or what it means, generally when a player’s contract expires they become a ‘free agent’ and are usually referred to as ‘unrestricted’ […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs St. Louis Blues | 02/15/2024

Until the third period, Tuesday night’s game didn’t feel like an 8-4 blowout. The Oilers had a two-goal lead twice but went into the second intermission tied. Give credit to Detroit, they’re a very fast team to play against. This is why it was so careless of Edmonton to fall asleep in the second period […]

Red Wings Defeat Canucks 4-3 in Overtime On Jake Walman’s Griddy Penalty Shot

In their first game back from the all-star break and mandatory bye-week, the Detroit Red Wings got off to a flying start against the Vancouver Canucks. Lucas Raymond scored a sensational goal just 45 seconds into the first period. This was Raymond’s 13th goal of the 2023-24 NHL season and his seventh point in his […]

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Anaheim Ducks | 02/09/2024

It was a really fun ride while it lasted. Of course, it would’ve been great if Edmonton tied the league record for the 17th straight win on Tuesday night. I do feel bad for the Oilers fans who traveled to Vegas and attended the game, possibly traveling to Anaheim for that game as well, hoping […]
