The Edmonton Oilers gutted out a 3–1 win over the Winnipeg Jets last night, doing so without forward Andrew Mangiapane, who was a healthy scratch. Perhaps the scratch was simply a reflection of his recent play, or it could signal something more. As Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman noted on a recent episode of the 32 Thoughts…

Noah Philp is a 27-year-old who has only appeared in 30 career NHL games, and most of those games were far from memorable. Losing him on waivers is far from the end of the world. It is, however, an example of what I view as a relatively large organizational flaw that the Edmonton Oilers have…

I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that Saturday’s loss to the Flames was one of the more disappointing outcomes we’ve had lately. The Oilers were outplayed for stretches, hit posts en masse, and ultimately came up a goal short of picking up at least a point in the first game…

If you look at the picture to the left, there's something significant about that image. That picture was taken with 5:18 to play after Sparta Praha went up 2-1 on Canada when Filip Chlapík scored from former Winnipeg Jets forward Kristian Vesalainen, and you may notice that there's only one white jersey in the entire picture. Far be it for me to suggest that's how Canada played this entire Spengler Cup tournament, but scoring just two goals in two losses when they had a chance to earn the bye ...

Matt Savoie is back with Leon Draisaitl and Vasily Podkolzin on the second line, while Jack Roslovic is centring the third line between Mattias Janmark and Trent Frederic. Who knew Roslovic playing centre was even an option? Apparently, Knoblauch…

You could call it a freefall. In the span of a few months, the Winnipeg Jets have gone from a first-place President’s Trophy regular season to today, where on December 29th, they sit just one point out of 32nd place. A miserable November has turned into a ghastly December, even with the return of Hart…

On the latest episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman spent a few minutes talking about Andrew Mangiapane and how his time with the Oilers might be winding down. According to Sportsnet’s insider, Mangiapane might be willing to waive his no-trade clause if Edmonton can find him a bigger role elsewhere. Needless to say,…

With three nights off last week, we didn’t have as many games as usual this week. That means that our rankings won’t move all that much from last time. And more importantly, it means fewer opportunities to learn anything new. That’s bad news for me, because there are a handful of teams where I need all the information I can get, because I just can’t figure them out. I’m not clueless about absolutely everyone. I know that the Avalanche are good, and that the Blackhawks are bad, and that all of ...

Saturday night was one where hard work defeated skill as the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames collided for the second time in a week. The Flames’ fourth line ran the Oilers’ show, as Edmonton’s bottom-six may as well have stayed at home to eat leftover Christmas dinner. While the stars did show up for the…

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…
