Saturday night was a measuring-stick kind of game. Hockey Night in Canada. The Edmonton Oilers hosting the Colorado Avalanche on three days rest. McDavid vs. MacKinnon. These are the kind of games you’d expect a struggling team like the Oilers to show up for. Instead, the Oilers might’ve just shown their true colours as a…

In over 30 years of doing this, I can count on one hand the amount of times I've written a whole column critiquing one particular player. And even then, it's usually not directly related to the player, but rather some rant about Hobey voters...

This is rock bottom. On Saturday evening, the Edmonton Oilers returned home to host the Colorado Avalanche. The Oilers did not win. About six and a half minutes into the game, Cale Makar scored his fifth of the season. Just over a minute later, the defenceman scored a carbon copy of the first goal to…

The 34-year-old blue liner will suit up for his 900th career regular-season game, a mark that reflects not just longevity but the kind of consistency and dependability…

As I’m sure you’re aware by now, Jack Roslovic signed a one-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers for $1.5 million, circling back after he didn’t have any big-money takers before then. He signed on October 8 and didn’t get into the lineup until October 14 against the Rangers. His contract was a bit unusual in…

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….

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 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…

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…
