The Oilers are taking on the personality of their head coach

Let me start this by saying I’m not calling for Kris Knoblauch’s head.  I have a gripe with the head coach that’s been gnawing at me for a while. It isn’t the biggest issue with the Oilers right now. *ahem something something goaltending and the team can’t defend aheeem*  It’s not even the systems debate…

Oilers Prospect Update: Isaac Howard’s impressive start in Bakersfield

With the Edmonton Oilers getting healthier, the organization found themselves in a dilemma. Somebody had to be sent down, and most people saw the news coming. Troy Stecher found himself on the waiver wire, and Ike Howard was sent to the Bakersfield Condors on November 14. Since then, Ike Howard has done nothing but put…

NHL Rumors: Oilers May Avoid Trading for Tristan Jarry for One Reason

The cries for the  Edmonton Oilers  to make a goalie trade are only intensfying more and more, and naturally  Tristan Jarry ’s name has popped up.  Between ESPN’s Kevin Weekes reporting that Jarry is drawing “significant interest” from Edmonton and the Pittsburgh Penguins ’ crowded crease, the connection makes a lot of sense on paper.  Jarry has rebounded from last year’s waiver drama with a strong start in Pittsburgh, posting a .914 save percentage and 2.53 goals-agai...

Examining trade options for the Oilers

To say the Edmonton Oilers are struggling defensively would be kind. They are 31st in goals against/game at 3.72. They are 31st in goals against/game 5×5 at 2.64. They have allowed the most slot area scoring chances (71) in the NHL via Clear Sight Analytics. They rank at the bottom of most scoring chances, after…

Trades, traditions, and jean shorts: A reason to be thankful for all 32 NHL teams

It’s Thanksgiving, at least among some of the lesser hockey countries. So today, I’m going to list a reason that I’m thankful for each NHL team. That’s it. No gimmicks, or clever twists. I promise I’m not even going to do the “Thanks for reminding us it could always be worse” backhanded compliment thing to anyone. Just one sincere, if slightly bizarre, reason to say a quick thanks to every team. >> Read the full post at The Athletic (Want to read this post on The Athletic for free? Sign u...

Report: Penguins' Tristan Jarry Named Prime Trade Target for Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers need a new goaltender, and by the sounds of it, a trade could be coming in a matter of days, not weeks.  After the Oilers crumbled on Tuesday night, their superstars called out just about every aspect of the team, including their goaltenders, and admittedly the team hasn't helped them at all this season. Both Stuart Skinner and Cal Pickard are pending unrestricted free agents, and considering the results so far this season, it's become quite obvious the Oilers are look...

Report: Blues & Oilers Linked to Blockbuster Trade

Keep an eye on the Edmonton Oilers and St. Louis Blues on the trade market, as both teams have been linked to making a blockbuster move together.

It's become obvious to the Oilers brass that their goaltending situation, as it's currently constructed, is not going to get the job done. Binnington...

Pain continues for the Edmonton Oilers, and a massive thank you

I’ll never forget the wise words my friend, a recovering alcoholic, said after Edmonton’s 9-1 loss to Colorado, where he heard many suggest that was rock bottom for the Oilers: “It can always get worse. Until you choose and commit to change, rock bottom can keep happening over and over again,” he said. Edmonton lost…

After surrendering another eight goals on Tuesday in an 8-3 loss to the Dallas Stars, the Edmonton Oilers ' goaltending situation is once again the hot topic of conversation around the team.  Is a change in the Stuart Skinner/Calvin Pickard tandem needed?
