The Evan Bouchard snub, Connor McDavid deserves the Hart Trophy, and the Oilers making trades
The Oilers’ offseason is barely underway, and I already have plenty to yell about.

Guests: Dan Robertson and Grant McCagg.
Exactly As Designed
Winnipeg's last remaining professional hockey team was facing elimination in Game Four on the road tonight, so the Manitoba Moose needed a big effort to keep their season going. Twice they had fought off elimination against the Milwaukee Admirals, but the Grand Rapids Griffins were an entirely different monster. The Moose took advantage of the Griffins not having played for a week in Game One, but Games Two and Three looked very much like the Western Conference's best team was ready to roll. C...

The Edmonton Oilers entered 2025-26 with high expectations following two straight trips to the Stanley Cup Final.

NHL Notebook: Tiers of the off-season goaltending market and Hurricanes’ historic playoff push

Why firing Kris Knoblauch won’t fix the Oilers’ defence and the McDavid-Draisaitl dilemma
Lord Byron once said, “The best prophet of the future is the past.” Byron was an English poet in the early 1800s, and his quote connects to many aspects of life, including sports. This quote should be front and centre in the Edmonton Oilers management office as they decide what direction to head this off-season….

Bouchard says Norris Trophy snub ‘stings’, but he won’t let it bother him
Evan Bouchard admits there are many great defencemen in the National Hockey League. But for the Edmonton Oilers blueliner to finish outside the top three in Norris Trophy voting, despite leading the league in points by a defenceman with 95, and playing huge minutes on the penalty kill — that does sting. “When I saw…

Five problems that contributed to the Oilers’ unfulfilling 2025-26 season
The term “Cup or bust” gets thrown around a lot for the Connor McDavid-led Edmonton Oilers team, meaning every season they don’t win the Stanley Cup is considered unsuccessful. The Oilers lost in the Stanley Cup Final in each of the last two seasons, but this past season felt especially unfulfilled after they were knocked…

Stan Bowman’s misses should cost him his job as Oilers general manager
The game of hockey is won and lost at the margins. It’s the ability to dig deep, bury that rebound, chip that puck out, win that faceoff, or any of the superlatives that contribute to wins on the ice. But in order for a team to be in a position to win on the ice,…

Why Evan Bouchard deserved to be a Norris Trophy nominee
Few players are more polarizing across the hockey world than Edmonton Oilers‘ defenceman Evan Bouchard. The offensive D-man dazzles fans with slick passes and ‘Bouch Bombs’ from the point, but also makes them pull their hair out with the occasional cartoonish blunder. When the NHL announced its nominees for the 2025-26 James Norris Memorial Trophy…
Which Oilers raised their stock in 2025-26?
The Edmonton Oilers had a disappointing season in 2025-26, falling well short of expectations in both the regular season and the playoffs.

For some, it comes as a surprise that Evan Bouchard wasn’t nominated for the Norris Trophy. For others, it’s completely understandable.
