The Edmonton Oilers look like they are prepared for the first round of the playoffs. Since two underwhelming matchups vs the Leafs and Senators, Edmonton has rattled off three straight wins. It is how they have won those games that matters the most. Edmonton played a strong game against the Jets, he...
Tonight in a bit of a surprising move, Calvin Pickard and not Stuart Skinner will be starting in net. Many expected that Skinner would get the start tonight and likely on Friday against the Avalanche while Pickard would get the easier matchup against the Flames on Saturday. Instead Knoblauch has see...
Last night the Oilers were embarrassed by the Dallas Stars. Dallas sent line after line at the Oilers and Edmonton simply had no answer. Some of the players that put up points for the Stars last night included Wyatt Johnston (age 20 - drafted #23 in 2021), Logan Stankoven (age 21 - drafted #47 in 20...
The Edmonton Oilers had Sunday off followed by Monday and Tuesday off before facing the Golden Knights at home on the 10th. That starts a 4 game homestand that sees the Oil play 4 games in 6 6 days. Then they have one day off before making a quick two game road trip to face the Coyotes and Avalanche...
Tonight the Oilers and Golden Knights will face off in what could be a first round matchup in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. If the playoffs started today, Vegas would be facing off against the Dallas Stars but the Golden Knights are just one point back of LA for 3rd in the Pacific and have a game in han...
Last night the Edmonton Oilers absolutely dominated the Vegas Golden Knights. High Danger Chances were 12-9 in favor of the Oilers and Edmonton outshot the Golden Knights 21-16 at 5 on 5 and 25-18 in all situations. One of the best players for the Oilers last night was Dylan Holloway. In my game...
Tonight the Edmonton Oilers play against the soon to be Utah Somethings. After years and years of "will they won't they," it looks like the Phoenix, Arizona, Scottsdale, Somebody Please Find Us A Real Arena To Play In Coyotes will be moving out of the desert. I feel for the dozens of fans in Ari...
Tonight the Oilers play the Sharks. Cool. Thanks for reading! Okay fine, I suppose I should write a bit more than that. The truth is these games don't matter in terms of the standings at least. It doesn't matter if the Oilers lose all of these games or win all of these games, they are locked...
Last night the Oilers succeeded in that nobody was injured during the game. Also the Oilers lost to a team that was playing their final game ever. Neat. Tonight's game matters even less than the one against the Coyotes last night. Some people might expect that both teams will look at this game as...
We finally know who the Edmonton Oilers will face in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and for the second (third) straight year it is the LA Kings. It was the most (not as likely) result and honestly I believe it is a good one for the Oilers. That isn't because I think Edmonton can ste...
I don't think there is an Oilers fan alive that hasn't heard the story of the Islanders 1983 Cup victory over the Edmonton Oilers. It's a story that guys like Mark Messier and Wayne Gretzky love to share. The story goes like this, the Edmonton Oilers were swept by the New York Islanders in the St...
It's nice for a change when I write a blog about the Oilers needing to prove immediately that they are the better team... and for the team to actually do it. From the moment the puck dropped, the Edmonton Oilers had a very business like attitude at how they approached the game. They made smart de...
