Who Should The Oilers Start in Goal in Game 5?

Coming into the first-round Stanley Cup playoff matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings, it was clear that the Oilers’ net belonged to rookie Stuart Skinner. Skinner, 24, certainly earned the starting job for the playoffs thanks to a terrific regular season. He went 29-14-5 with a 2.75 goals-against average, a .914 save percentage, […]

Line Over the Boards Apr 24th: All Knotted Heading Back to Edmonton 2-2

Last night’s game was more of the same for the LA Kings, with a few wrinkles. Kevin Fiala returned for the Kings and made an immediate impact with two assists in the 1st period, where the Kings came out and. built a 3-0 lead after one. However, LA showed up flat in the 2nd period […]

Oilers Show Resiliency in Comeback 5-4 Win

Coming into Game 4, trailing the series 2-1, this was a game the Edmonton Oilers had to win, and they fought their way to a 5-4 overtime victory after being down 3-0 in the first 20 minutes. Once the second period started, there was a clear shift in momentum. The Oilers’ power play gave them […]

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. […]

Time to Give Ken Holland His Roses

Not even a year ago, maybe not even six months ago, I was a Ken Holland critic, but now the time has come to give Ken Holland his flowers. Many have failed as Oilers G.M over the last 15 years, from Peter Chiarelli to Steve Tambellini, the man making the moves has continually disappointed fans […]

Defense and Goaltending A Problem for the Oilers

When it comes to the Edmonton Oilers, the offense is never going to be a problem. It starts with Connor McDavid. McDavid, still just 25 years of age, leads the NHL with 73 points on 33 goals and 40 assists. McDavid is the game’s best offensive player and produces just about every single night. The […]

Oilers Christmas Wishes? Nice Or Naughty?

Merry Christmas, Oilers fans. A holiday that will either distract you from how our team plays or a time to share your strong emotions with family members right beside you. I’ll be taking on the role of Santa Claus for this one. What do I have on my nice list, and what do I have […]

This Week On Oilers Hockey: 11

A disappointing Oilers week this time around. A “scheduled” loss against a team they always get owned by, a “scheduled” win against a team they’ve started owning, and only one out of a possible four points against teams that are below them in the standings, one of them being the second last place team in […]

Oilers: Here We Go Again?

It seems like a yearly occurrence, doesn’t it? The Oilers go through a rough patch and seemingly find themselves in a position where everyone forgets just how good they can be. As of now, they are going through it, as they’re precisely .500 in their record, Jack Campbell is having the worst start of his […]

Is Dustin Schwartz Really The Problem?

As the Oilers have opened up the season with a goalie controversy only 16 games in, there has been quite a bit of finger-pointing at Dustin Schwartz. Mostly negative. Most are about how new Oiler Jack Campbell has started his season with abysmal numbers. Through 10 games this season, Jack Campbell has a record of […]
