Howe Making Yale's Transition Easier, and a Tougher Decision
When Keith Allain made the surprise decision to retire in early August, it was much too late for Yale to go out and hire externally for a head coaching position...
Sunday Scramble: Flaws exposed in loss to Calgary, Ingram a total bonus, and Canada’s World Junior faux pas
Crossbar. Bar. Bar. Post. That and some disengaged second-period play cost the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night against their arch-rival Calgary Flames in a 3-2 loss. And wouldn’t you know it — for the seventh time this regular season, the Oilers failed to win a third consecutive game. It’s not hard to see why. If…
The Case for Zach Hyman to make Team Canada
Canada’s roster for the 2026 Olympics in Milan will be revealed in just a few days on Dec. 31st. Connor McDavid was already named as one of the first six players on the roster back in June, but today I want to talk about another Oiler who is a dark horse to make the team….

He skipped practice today after sustaining a late 3rd period hit last night.
The Rundown - The Playoff Picture
We are firmly entrenched in the holiday season, exams are over, players are preparing for the second half of the season, and teams will be looking at their schedules when it comes to where they need to make up ground, win key games, and potentially lock up playoff spots. The Canada West season has given us just one team who already knows they'll be playing in late February, so there are opportunities for eight other teams to make a push in this second half. Today, we'll look at what each team ...
Oilers place forwards Noah Philp, David Tomasek on waivers
On Sunday, the Edmonton Oilers announced they have activated forward Noah Philp off LTIR and placed him on waivers. Additionally, as previously reported, forward David Tomášek has now officially been placed on waivers for the purpose of contract termination. The #Oilers have placed forward Noah Philp on waivers, in addition to placing forward David Tomasek…

How Vasily Podkolzin has emerged into Leon Draisaitl’s go-to winger
Throughout the past two regular seasons at five-on-five, Leon Draisaitl’s most common forward linemate has not been Connor McDavid. It has not been Ryan Nugent-Hopkins or Zach Hyman either. Instead, the forward who has most often ridden shotgun with the 2025 Rocket Richard winner is Vasily Podkolzin. The Edmonton Oilers initially brought in Podkolzin in…
Oilers can’t win three in a row, Flames take the rematch, and Connor Ingram’s third straight start
It’s always fun when the Edmonton Oilers square off against the Calgary Flames, and with a second Battle of Alberta happening only four days after the last one, it would be the understatement of a lifetime to say I was excited about Saturday’s rematch. And as hoped, the emotions were high, the pace was steady,…
The Day After 39.0: Connor Ingram’s case to be Oilers backup grows stronger
Connor Ingram started his third game for the Edmonton Oilers Saturday night. The overall result wasn’t what the team was hoping for, losing 3-2 to the Calgary Flames on a night where the Turkey Legs slowed the Oilers, but one promising result was Ingram’s play. He turned aside 29 of 32 shots for a .906…

Turkey legs slow Oilers in post-Christmas break loss to Flames: Recap, Reaction and Highlights
Well, that was a let down. Not only did the Edmonton Oilers lose 3-2 to the Calgary Flames on Saturday evening, but it was a rather docile affair in terms of chipiness. Let’s take a look at what went on in this game. Seven minutes into the first period, the Flames got on the board…
An Alleged Felon Or A Cry For Help?
I have spent the last couple of days reading up on all the happenings in the ECHL's current labour battle with games having been postponed as of yesterday afternoon. Admittedly, I think Jason and I hit on all the topics on The Hockey Show on Thursday, and I know I wrote a lot about what seemed to be the major points of contention on Monday. Today, though, a new wrinkle emerged in the ownership ranks as it seems one team owner might be in a lot of hot water legally, and this could certainly aff...
Avoiding All The Malls
I've never understood the need to go shopping the day after Christmas. Boxing Day is normally when a lot of stuff, including boxes, makes its way out to the recycle bins and garbage bins, but the idea of going to get more stuff after receiving gifts the day before makes no sense to me. I would hope that there are no sales bigger than Rome considering how large that city is, but there are clearly those who enjoy the rush of getting that deal that my brain just doesn't comprehend. I found it fun...
GDB 39.0: Oilers head to Calgary for Battle of Alberta rematch with the Flames (8PM MT, CBC)
The Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames are back at it tonight at the Saddledome, and for the first time in a while, the Battle of Alberta actually feels like it’s supposed to. These teams met just up a few days ago on December 23rd at Rogers Place, where the Oilers cruised to a 5-1 win…
Scenes From Morning Skate: Will bad blood boil between Oilers and Flames?
If you’re a Battle of Alberta fan, tonight’s the night. The Edmonton Oilers visit the Calgary Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome for game two, and if last game said anything, it’s that this one should be worth watching. Last game, in Edmonton on Tuesday, Leon Draisaitl scored a hat trick — all three goals on…
Terminating Tomášek’s contract a win-win for player and Oilers
David Tomášek is set to join the legion of overseas free agents signed by the Edmonton Oilers who just didn’t work out. He’s not the first — following suit with the Gaetan Haas’, Joakim Nygard’s and Mikko Koskinen’s of the world — and he likely won’t be the last, and above all, he wasn’t a…

A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Pre-Scout: Will the Oilers and Flames have jump or turkey legs in Battle of Alberta rematch?
Do you have memories of Christmas where you and your brother would wrestle in the basement? Maybe over a game of mini-sticks, stealing a gift, or just because? Well, that’s what the Edmonton Oilers game against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday reminded me of — an older brother doing the ol’ ground-and-pound on the scrappy…
Two weeks later, the pros and cons of the Stuart Skinner for Tristan Jarry trade
So I’m sure by now you’ve seen that the Oilers actually pulled the trigger on a Tristan Jarry trade with Pittsburgh, sending Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round draft pick. I feel nostalgia for the offseason of 2016 again. Back then, the Oilers made a blockbuster trade of a one-for-one in Taylor Hall…
