The Edmonton Oilers welcomed us all back in classic Oily fashion. They gave us a glimmer of hope Tuesday night, and then left us with nothing at all. Despite holding two separate two-goal leads, the Oilers managed to leave Anaheim with nothing but a bitter taste. Arguably with more questions as to why the team…
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The Edmonton Oilers snapped their four-game losing streak emphatically, handing the Los Angeles Kings an 8-1 beating in their home barn on Thursday night. Coming off a frustrating 6-5 loss to the Anaheim Ducks in which they surrendered three separate leads, the Oilers delivered their most complete performance of the season to get back in…
If you’re wondering what exactly is going on with the Edmonton Oilers right now, you’re not alone. After coughing up three separate leads in Anaheim and turning a winnable game into a 6-5 mess, the Oilers rolled into Los Angeles for the second half of a back-to-back, looking less like a contender and more like…
Connor Hellebuyck has had a good month. You might have heard about it. The three-time Vezina winner and defending Hart Trophy winner as NHL MVP was the story of the story of Team USA’s gold medal win over Canada on Sunday, making 41 saves in a 2-1 OT win. It was the sort of signature game that a goaltender’s reputation can built on. After years of hearing about how he couldn’t win the big one, Hellebuyck went out and almost single-handedly won one of the biggest ones that there’s ever been. Th...

The Edmonton Oilers have snapped their near-month long four game losing streak. After dropping a very winnable game on Wednesday, the Oilers return to action on Thursday, defeating the Los Angeles Kings 8-1 to move their season record to 28-23-8 for 64 points. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one! Wednesday’s…
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it’s ready to help you wrap up the week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed the Wayne Gretzky locker-room snub rumour, the Oilers’ disastrous effort in Anaheim, Tristan Jarry’s struggles, Tyler’s hypotheticals, and more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode…
A dreadful third period, led by Tristan Jarry, cost the Edmonton Oilers an important two points in Anaheim last night. The Oilers controlled the first two periods and led 4-2 to start the final frame but they allowed four goals in the third and lost 6-5. It was their fourth loss in a row, a…
Closing out third period leads haunted both the Edmonton Oilers and the Los Angeles Kings last night. For the Oilers, it was a two-goal lead at the second intermission. For the Kings, it was a 2-1 lead to fellow division rival the Vegas Golden Knights that flipped to a 6-4 loss. The VGK scored five…
The Edmonton Oilers’ search to trade Andrew Mangiapane has been nothing short of exhaustive. The winger has been on the market since late December, but the Oilers seemingly have had much interest, despite the fact that reports have surfaced from far and wide about potential suitors. One team that had interest in signing Mangiapane last…
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight with our normal setup as the Olympics are over, the Paralympics are a week from starting, the NHL is back, and all of the craziness involved with those changes can be discussed. I'm not sure I've ever felt as less excited for hockey as I was last night with NHL players being back on the ice after what we witnessed in Milano-Cortina, but it's going to be hard for the NHL to replicate the hocke...
The Edmonton Oilers are in a pretty tough spot heading into the March 6th trade deadline. They have some assets, but they need to be careful how they spend them. Sure, they could dangle a piece like Isaac Howard if they are getting an impact player who comes with term or team control, but I…
A late-February matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings usually serves as a preview of the annual snooze-fest the two teams play in the first round of the playoffs in the spring. That might not be the case this year. As it stands, the Kings sit outside the playoff picture, three points back…
After having two weeks of incredible to hockey watch where television viewers weren't bombarded by sports betting commercials and digitals advertisements all over the boards, it was back to NHL hockey tonight where if it can be sold, it will be. While the action on the ice will once again make us wish for a third line that boasts Sidney Crosby and Nick Suzuki, the advertising was particularly noticeable this evening after having streamed a vast number of Olympic hockey games where advertising ...
The Edmonton Oilers are back, and so are their problems. In the team’s first game following the three-week Olympic break, the Oilers surrendered three separate leads, including two different two-goal cushions, in a 6-5 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. Edmonton has now dropped four straight games dating back to late January, allowing 22 goals during…
The New Jersey Devils are a team in limbo. For the past four seasons, they’ve flipped between looking like a good team and being a mediocre team. In 2022-23, they finished with a 52-22-8 record, knocking off the New York Rangers in the first round. Due to goaltending struggles, they missed the 2024 playoffs, but…
It’s been three weeks since we last watched our beloved Oilers do their thing, and it goes without saying that our last memories before the break weren’t exactly sparkling or overly positive. Edmonton lost back-to-back games to Toronto and Calgary in horrifying fashion, which meant Wednesday’s matchup with the Ducks had an extra layer of…

Alabama's club program drew more than 3,000 fans to the Iron Cup game this past week. The Crimson Tide has one of the very many successful club programs in the south (most SEC schools have solid club programs). As no surprise, some immediately speculated that Alabama Division I hockey could be on the horizon. A CHN reader sent me a message through X on Wednesday laying out the case for the program...
Recap of the game.

On Wednesday evening, the Oilers returned for the first time since February 4th, falling 6-5 to the Anaheim Ducks in what was an entertaining, albeit winnable, game. Let’s take a look at what happened in this one. The Oilers came out of…

It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today’s podcast, I talked about the Oilers‘ return to the ice, the gold medal loss, the upcoming NHL trade deadline, and much more. I…
Connor McDavid faced questions about the Olympic experience and whether he thought winning the Stanley Cup or Olympic gold medal would be this difficult before Wednesday’s game against the Anaheim Ducks. The Edmonton Oilers captain faced the media for the first time since returning to the team, upon confirmation of being in the lineup. He…
