Scenes From Morning Skate: Maybe the Oilers just need to get embarrassed
The Edmonton Oilers are 6-5-3 and nothing has worked to fix what’s broken. Talking about it hasn’t worked. Line changes haven’t worked. Player-led meetings haven’t worked. Coaching messages haven’t worked. They keep saying the right things, then go out and blow leads, play inconsistent hockey, and drop points to teams they should beat in regulation….
Oilers load up top line with McDavid, Draisaitl, and Roslovic against Avalanche
The Edmonton Oilers are loading up their top line for Saturday night’s game against the Colorado Avalanche. Connor McDavid centred the top line with Leon Draisaitl and the red-hot Jack Roslovic on his wings, as the team looks to match them up with the potent top line of the Avalanche. “I’m sure there’ll be a…
Is It Really A Record?
Sometimes, I wonder if things are just posted to social media for a reaction. We see politicians saying things that are wildly inaccurate in the news cycle, but sports are pretty cut-and-dry when it comes to records that have been achieved because all it takes is a quick glance at history books. The man pictured to the left is Matt Salhany, and he is currently playing for the ECHL's Adirondack Thunder where he apparently set a record tonight. Having read the social media post a few times, I'm ...

Connor McDavid Discusses His Journey to 1,100 NHL Points
Connor McDavid scored his 1,100th NHL point in his 726th game this past Monday in St. Louis. He became the 69th player (nice) to reach 1,100 points and was the fourth quickest behind Mike Bossy (725 GP), Mario Lemieux (550), and Wayne Gretzky (464). McDavid is on pace to join the true elite of the…
Pre-Scout: Avalanche enter Edmonton as top team in Western Conference
Buckle in. If there’s one opponent that seems to provide entertaining hockey against the Edmonton Oilers over the years, it’s the Colorado Avalanche. In many ways, it’s the perfect Hockey Night in Canada late game, the stuff that Tim Hortons hockey cards and adolescent memories are made of. While the Oilers’ wheels seem to be…

‘It’s time we get going’: McDavid calls for more urgency with Oilers off to sluggish start
The narrative of the Edmonton Oilers‘ struggles in the month of October has bled into November, and it’s clear that another bumpy start is getting on the nerves of the team’s on-ice leader.

Ask Dubey: Favourite Oilers jersey, best road trip memories, and more
The Oilers, unfortunately, blew another couple of leads this week, but they still played some good hockey against some quality teams. The good news is that if they continue to put themselves in a position to lead, they’ll eventually start closing out those games more consistently. That’s a much better situation than constantly having to…

Oilers Prospect Update: Goaltenders Samuel Jonsson and Nathaniel Day off to dominant starts in ECHL
Back again with a weekly pipeline update. It was another busy weekend, and they won’t be slowing down anytime soon. Speaking of not slowing down, that’s exactly what Tommy Lafrenière is doing in the WHL right now, as he is up to 19 points in 17 games. One thing that is slowing down is any…
The "Rule of Cool"? Loaning stars to other teams? NHL Rules Court is back in session
It’s time for another session of Rules Court, the feature where you make the case for any kind of change that you think would improve the NHL, and a jury of three of us votes on it. Convince at least two of us, and… well, nothing happens, but you get to feel like you’re not quite so alone in the world. That’s important, right? Sure it is. This time around, we’ve got the usual jury of Shayna Goldman, Sean McIndoe, and Sean Gentille. We have seven of your proposals to consider, plus a bonus sugg...
