Today In NHL History - Longest Road Trip
On January 27th in 2010, the Vancouver Canucks set out on the longest road trip in NHL history. The 46 day sojourn sent them to 13 cities (Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Boston, Tampa, Sunrise, St. Paul, Columbus, Detroit, Chicago, Nashville, Denver, Phoenix) for 14 games. The hellish trip was required to accommodate the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, marking the first time since NHL players
Today In NHL History - Sullivan's Fan Revenge
On January 26th in 2001, Steve Sullivan of the Chicago Blackhawks was belittled by an out-spoken Avalanche fan as the forward left the ice upon having his nose bloodied by an Alex Tanguay highstick, resulting in a dozen stitches. Sullivan returned to score two shorthanded goals and see the same fan struck by an errant puck from a Patrick Roy clearing attempt. Revenge was sweet for Sullivan who
Today In NHL History - Burke's Twitter Imposter
On January 26th in 2009, Down Goes Brown blogger Sean McIndoe opened a Twitter account in the name of Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke and proceeded to parody a witty fictional inner-monologue of the brash bossman.

Today In NHL History - Erik Johnson's Own Goal
On January 26th in 2011, the top pick from the 2006 NHL Draft, St Louis Blues blueliner Erik Johnson, scored an own goal firing a rebound past backstop Ty Conklin on a failed clearing attempt five minutes into the opening frame.

Today In NHL History - Ted Leonsis Attacks Fan
On January 25th in 2004, Washington Capitals owner and AOL executive Ted Leonsis attacked season ticket holder Jason Hammer, grabbing his neck and throwing him to the ground, in response to the fan's game long heckling and insulting sign "Caps Hockey; AOL Stock -- See a Pattern?". Embarrassed by the outburst Leonsis apologized to Hammer the next day and the pair agreed to move past the melee.
Flashback Friday: Looking at Ben Scrivens’ 59-save shutout over the Sharks in 2014
The Edmonton Oilers were not good during the Decade of Darkness. Aside from being in the playoff conversation in 2007-08 and 2012-13 (mainly because of the lockout), the Oilers were almost always at the bottom of the league. From 2006-07 until 2015-16, the Oilers didn’t make the playoffs once, hence the nickname the “Decade of…

Oilers Thoughts: Bouchard’s clutch gene, Kapanen’s top line promotion, Samanski making strides, McMann trade talk and Roslovic’s proposed extension
With the Edmonton Oilers’ first three-game win streak of the season and the excitement packed into those games, if you could bottle all that energy into a morning drink, coffee companies would be out of business. The Oilers pulled off their first comeback from a three-goal deficit in the third period since 2022 with a…
Former Oiler Derek Ryan says depth players need ‘a role’ on current team
A recently retired Edmonton Oiler offered his critique of the team, saying they need to find ways to give depth players roles.

A Pacific Division Trade Deadline Preview
The Pacific Division is in an interesting spot with 30 games to go in the regular season.

The…

The Day After 55.0: Oilers fend off up-and-coming Sharks to end winning-streak curse
The tenth time’s the charm. With a 4-3 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, the Edmonton Oilers finally put together their first three-game winning streak of the 2025-26 season. They had won back-to-back games nine times earlier this year, only to watch each potential heater stall in the third game. For a…
I'm looking for your submissions to Nickname Court
As we know, modern NHL nicknames are terrible, with most of them either just being a player's name with an -er or -y ending tacked on, or something based on player initials that features zero creativity. Let's fix that. How it works: Readers send in nicknames for players (or lines or pairings or whatever), and a small group of us rule on whether they were good or not. We're be looking for either of two kinds of submissions: - Brand new nicknames that you came up with, or that are perco...
The Oilers’ rough first period, third period comeback, and is Kris Knoblauch using his bench enough
It’s wild to think that we’re in late January and still in the hunt for the Oilers’ first three-game win streak of the season. I don’t know why they haven’t been able to do it, but it’s a story that came up once again ahead of Thursday’s matchup with the San Jose Sharks. This was…

Pagnotta: Maple Leafs’ Bobby McMann a ‘prime target’ for Oilers
We are deep into silly season, so names are being thrown around among NHL fan bases like they’re going out of fashion.
