Congrats to NHL referee Kyle Rehman for officiating his 1000th game on Thursday night. Leon Draisaitl gave him some congratulatory taps before the opening face-off, with the Sportsnet broadcast jokingly quipping that the sentimental would wear off right after the game started, and it did. Not that it matters anymore after your team wins by […]

Stuart Skinner stirs the “oil” in Edmonton during the regular season, but can it carry over into the Stanley Cup Playoffs?

NHL Game Preview: Edmonton Oilers vs. Washington Capitals | 03/13/2024
In Edmonton’s second blowout win against the Penguins this season, Darnell Nurse had himself a really good bounce-back game after some shifts in Buffalo that I wasn’t a huge fan of.

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 […]
