December can be a boring month in the NHL. Opening night optimism is a faded memory, the deadline is still months away, the playoff picture is jumbled, and not much is happening. And then, every once in a while, we get a day like Friday. We got one of the biggest midseason blockbusters in years, with the Quinn Hughes trade to Minnesota . We got the long-awaited Oilers goalie trade, with Tristan Jarry coming over from the Penguins . Oh, and before those two deals dropped, we also found out that...

Tristan Jarry’s first game in an Edmonton Oilers jersey was a solid yet unspectacular. He made some great stops, perhaps none better than his breakaway save on Maple Leafs forward John Tavares, but a garbage-time goal by Toronto pushed his save percentage below .900 on the night. Still, he gave the team a chance to…

What a Friday it was for the NHL. You had the surprise Tristan Jarry trade early in the morning, only for it to be outdone later that night by Quinn Hughes getting dealt to the Minnesota Wild. There were certainly some smoke screens last week about a potential Jarry trade not happening due to the…

It was a deal that sent their starting goalie in Stuart Skinner, alongside defenceman Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick, to the Pittsburgh Penguins for goaltender Tristan Jarry.

The first feeling I had when I heard Stuart Skinner was traded? Relief. I’ve said this before, but part of the reason I wanted a new Oilers starting goaltender (beyond his play) is that I was sick of talking about him and sick of the discussion surrounding him.

Ouch. The Montreal Canadiens looked like they were taking the dog for a walk early on against the New York Rangers. Ahead 3-0 and cruising…and then bad stuff happened. Before you knew, the Rangers were only down one at the intermission. The Habs restored the lead to 4-2 but then gagged that away, as well,…

The helmet and stick didn’t match the jersey, but the pads certainly did. Tristan Jarry’s Frankenstein uniform was an odd sight to see between the Edmonton Oilers’ pipes Saturday night, but his play certainly wasn’t. After all, tonight’s game was moreso about him getting his feet wet than anything else, and the Oilers running the…
