Use Your Words

As someone who has been doing radio for a number of years, I tend to listen to commercials more than I should probably admit. It's not the messaging that I'm interested in nor the product being sold, but it's how the commercial is selling the product that catches me. I say this because hockey games on the radio have a lot of time where commercials can be run, and companies need to have effective messaging for their advertisement to be catchy. In preapring commercials for sponsors of the 2026 F...

Upcoming Radio Events

If there's one thing that I enjoy more than anything when doing radio, it's participating at live events. Live radio has a certain unpredictability to it that is unlike anything else except for live television, and it's that unpredictability that makes covering events a bit of a thrill. It is with great honour that UMFM has been invited to cover the 2026 Female World Sport School Challenge once again, and we are proud to working with the great people at Balmoral Hall School to bring these broa...

Oilersnation Radio: Have the Oilers solved their goaltending issue?

It’s Tuesday afternoon, and there’s a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today’s episode, the guys discussed Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ 1000th game, back-to-back shutouts, Kasperi Kapanen’s injury, and much more. We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a…

NHL trade rumours: Canucks could trade Elias Pettersson before Olympic break

While we’re less than two months away from the NHL Trade Deadline, one of the game’s most skilled players might be on the move in the near future. When appearing on Sportsnet 590 The FAN on Monday, NHL insider Frank Seravalli reported that multiple teams have expressed interest in Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson, with the Swedish…

Top 100 Oilers: No. 55 — Fernando Pisani

Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Fernando Pisani comes in at No. 55 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 55 on Brownlee’s original list. Fernando Pisani is mainly remembered for one thing in his tenure…

NHL News: Golden Knights acquire Rasmus Andersson, Panthers to activate Matthew Tkachuk, and more

We’ve got ourselves a couple of trades between Pacific Division rivals. On Sunday, the Calgary Flames dealt defenceman Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for defenseman Zach Whitecloud, defence prospect Abram Wiebe, a 2027 first-round pick, and a conditional 2027 second-round pick. The second-round pick will become a first-round selection if the…

Monday Scramble: The Oilers need to decide on a goalie for forward flexibility

How long can Stan Bowman continue the three-goalie charade while forwards are required?  That’s the biggest question coming out of the week that was in Oilersnation, a week that all things considered, fared better than I expected (my lowly prediction was 2-2-1 after all).    Connor Ingram has shattered any doubt in his ability to…

Monday Musings: Oilers Shutouts, Hyman and RNH’s Impacts, and some Trade Talk

The Edmonton Oilers finished a five-game-in-seven-day trek in style with back-to-back shutouts over Vancouver and St. Louis. The Oilers won 6-0 in Vancouver on Saturday and 5-0 at home last night. It was only the third time in franchise history that they posted consecutive shutouts by different goalies. Tristan Jarry stopped all 31 shots in…

Curtis Lazar has earned an everyday role for the Oilers

This summer, the Edmonton Oilers parted ways with several veteran bottom-six forwards and acquired younger replacements. Andrew Mangiapane and Jack Roslovic carried the most name value out of the new additions, and David Tomášek provided plenty of intrigue coming off a big year in Sweden. A player who might’ve gone under the radar amongst all…

The Day After 50.0: Oilers dominant in both games of weekend back-to-back

For the ninth time this season, the Edmonton Oilers are on a two-game winning streak. Not once have they managed to stretch one of these streaks to three games during the 2025-26 season, but this looks like a prime opportunity. The Oilers were dominant in both legs of last weekend’s back-to-back, first winning by a…
