That was one of the weirder wins we’ll see this season. On Wednesday evening, the Edmonton Oilers began a seven-game road trip, with their first stop coming in the Brotherly Love to face the Philadelphia Flyers. For the second consecutive game, the Oilers won the game courtesy of Jack Roslovic. Let’s take a look at…

With the Edmonton Oilers experiencing another slump in the first month of the season, the focus on the team’s roller coaster start has once again been directed at the performance between the pipes. While the Oilers have started the 2025-26 campaign better than they have in the previous couple of seasons, winning seven of the…

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…

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…

“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…

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…

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…

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...

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…

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...

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…

Love them or hate them, there’s never a dull moment when it comes to the Edmonton Oilers. They had their best come-from-behind win of the season last game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, featuring their first fight of the season, magic from the captain, and big goals and saves when it mattered most. That said,…

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…
