Bring it on: the Oilers should want to face the Kings once again
You can fire coaches, trade for new goaltenders, load up at the deadline, and it simply doesn’t matter. The Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings meeting in the first round is seemingly inevitable.

Enter the world's easiest NHL playoff prediction contest, with just one question
It’s playoff time, almost. The time of year when the best of the best rise to the top and prove that they have what it takes to win it all. The rest?

Yes, it’s time for our annual playoff contest, in which I ask you one simple question, and you send in your one-line answer. Then we wait. Then almost all of you get it wrong. Then I make fun of you. >> ...
Oilers NCAA free agent targets: Did goaltender Johnny Hicks just become one of the NCAA’s most intriguing players?
Juuse Saros. That’s the entire list of current NHL goaltenders who stand under six feet tall. Since the year 2000, only 47 netminders under that threshold have appeared in five or more NHL games, and while that list includes some impressive names — Tim Thomas, Jaroslav Halak, and José Théodore to name a few —…

Mercifully, It's Over
I don't usually throw out thank-yous to NHL teams, but the Los Angeles Kings deserve one tonight after winning their game against the Seattle Kraken. I'm not a Kings fan in any way, so this isn't some article that will extoll the players rising to the occasion to seize a playoff spot or anything. Instead, it's a thank-you article for finally putting the Winnipeg Jets out of their misery for what was a completely forgettable season in the Manitoba capital. Yes, a handful of players had outstand...
‘I wish I said no’: Ex-Oilers GM Kevin Lowe responds to Pronger’s contract regret
Few people had a closer seat to Chris Pronger’s tenure with the Edmonton Oilers than Kevin Lowe. As the general manager who acquired the hulking defenceman from the St. Louis Blues on Aug. 3, 2005, only to trade him 11 months later to the Anaheim Ducks, he was front and centre for all of the…

A history of the Norris Trophy and a tight 2026 race
The James Norris Memorial Trophy was first handed out in 1954 when Red Kelly was named the inaugural winner of the NHL’s best defenceman award. Kelly led NHL defenders in scoring with 49 points in 62 games, and offensive totals have always had a heavy influence on who wins. It isn’t the only criteria, but…

It was a three-game week for the Bakersfield Condors, and it started off strong with a 5-2 win against the Tucson Roadrunners last Wednesday.

Today In NHL History - Rob Ray Fights Fan
On April 14th in 1992, Rob Ray of the Buffalo Sabres pummeled a 21 year old fan who, apparently acting on a bet, elected to jump into the visitors bench at Le Colisée in the dying seconds of a game against the Quebec Nordiques. Amazingly, the fan survived some 17 or 18 direct blows from the NHL's 6th all-time regular season penalty minutes leader (3,207) before police broke up the melee. Rayzor
