WWYDW: How can the Oilers acquire a top goaltender?
Let’s detach from the real world for a second and look to solve the goaltending issues of the Edmonton Oilers in a vacuum. Pretend we can drive to the grocery store, and there’s a flash sale on goalies. This store is motivated to sell, and they’ve ensured these goalies will agree to coming to your…
Better Lait Than Never: The Oilers rollercoaster goes zoom Pt. 3084
It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all.

GDB 18.0: Oilers still searching for consistency (5:30 PM MT, SNW)
The dance of mediocrity is often one step forward, one step back, or two steps forward, two steps back. It’s not where you want to be, and this season the Oilers reside in mediocrity. They have enough skill and talent to rise above the mushy middle, but through 17 games, they’ve struggled with consistency. Their…

‘Definitely soon… maybe tomorrow’: Knoblauch’s ambiguity around Hyman’s return continues
“Unfortunately, not ready for tonight.” “Definitely sometime this week.” “Maybe tomorrow, if we’re really lucky.” “Definitely by Saturday.” If you were looking for an answer as to when Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman will return to the lineup, that’s the best Kris Knoblauch has to offer, as his ambiguity around injury news continues. It’s not…
Oilers’ Evan Bouchard responds after being benched by head coach Kris Knoblauch
Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch gave the fans screaming for accountability on Evan Bouchard an early Christmas gift on Monday night. With just over eight minutes left in the first period, Knoblauch had seen enough of his $10.5 million defenceman and parked him on the bench until the second frame. Bouchard took an unnecessary…

Pre-Scout: Spotlight on struggling Michkov as Oilers arrive in Philadelphia
There seem to be two schools of thought with the Philadelphia Flyers right now: either fight like hell to stay in the fight, or sort out the major issues, finish where you may, and continue to collect assets so the rebuild isn’t done in half measures. The Flyers’ record of 8-5-2 is smack dab in…
A guide to this year's Leafs season for Blue Jays fans who are just tuning in now
If you’re a Toronto sports fan, you’ve had a busy fall. You watched the Blue Jays stumble down the stretch in September, only to find their footing just in time to win the AL East on the regular season’s final day. Then you watched them handle the Yankees in the ALDS before coming back to beat the Mariners in a thrilling Game 7 classic in the ALCS. That led to one of the greatest World Series ever played, with the underdog Jays giving the fat cat Dodgers all they could handle before losing a h...
Why Jack Roslovic has been an excellent fit for the Oilers
In general, the Edmonton Oilers have had yet another underwhelming start to the season. In particular, their offensive play has been highly disappointing thus far, as the team ranks at a lowly 28th place in the NHL in 5-on-5 goals per hour. However, there has been one pleasant surprise amongst Edmonton’s forward group, and that…

A Kalamazoo Tradition
I have to admit that I don't partake in ice cream all that often in the winter, but it's something that I only enjoy occasionally in the summer. It's not that I don't like ice cream, but finding a flavour that one likes or wants to indulge in every once in a while might be the hardest thing about ice cream. The probably means that there are some good flavours out there that I'm missing like "Unicorn Toots" or "Moon Mist" , but ice cream comes in all sorts of flavours and colours. Food dyes pla...

NHL Notebook: Former Oilers winger Kent Nilsson predicted to be named to 2026 Hockey Hall of Fame class
Kent Nilsson wasn’t in Edmonton for long after being acquired in March 1987, but the impact he made was massive. He would score five goals and 17 points in 17 games in the end of the regular season before going on a playoff run that saw him score six goals and 19 points in 21…
Five important questions ahead of Oilers’ lengthy road trip
Love them or hate them, there’s never a dull moment when it comes to the Edmonton Oilers.

‘It’s nice to have him on your side’: Oilers players react to Connor McDavid’s two-goal game

Monday night could’ve gone really bad for the Edmonton Oilers. Down 3-1 in the dying seconds of the second period to the Columbus Blue Jackets, the boo birds were out in full swing, and rightfully so. The team had just stunk Rogers Place out two nights prior, and it looks like the Oilers were well…

Finally
News broke early today as the PWHL decided to announce the dates and locations of their 2025-26 Takeover Tour stops. I received an email in my inbox that arrived approximately 30 minutes before the official social media blitz began, but the announcement that the PWHL was coming to Winnipeg to play at the Canada Life Centre felt like a big "finally" had been lifted off this city. Until this year's tournament in April 2025 in Czechia, the IIHF Women's World Championship attendance record had bee...
