The Edmonton Oilers needed that. They really needed that. About everything that could’ve gone their way Thursday night did in their 9-4 walloping of the Seattle Kraken, as Connor McDavid notched his 13th career hat trick, four players posted three or more points, and many a milestone was hit. For McDavid, he’s faced some criticism all…

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know that I go out of my way to celebrate one of the rarer feats in hockey whenever and wherever it happens. The man to the left is the latest player to accomplish such a feat, and the rookie Tri-City Americans netminder also had himself one heckuva Wednesday. That player is Xavier Wendt from Plymouth, Minnesota - about 45 minutes east of Grand Casinos Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota - and the 17 year-old netminder hit a milestone and added his na...

We didn’t have to wait long for the Oilers and Kraken to square off again after what was a spicy afternoon in Seattle on Saturday. That game started to boil over a little bit, and it was nice to see two Pacific Division teams getting fired up and getting after it. Ultimately, the better team…

The Oilers are now 12-11-5 this season with three more games on this five-game home stand. Just over seven minutes into the game, the Oilers took a 1-0 lead thanks to a short-side shot by Connor…

Good news Oilersnation: The Edmonton Oilers have played quite well in four of their last five games. Bad news: They only have two wins in those five games. The Oilers need to string together some wins, and Seattle is a team they need to beat. Their last five games saw them lose 2-1 in OT…

Calvin Pickard is starting on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken, and it’s about time. Not because Stuart Skinner has been bad—he hasn’t. That shutout against Seattle five days ago was his best performance of the season. He was solid against Minnesota. And he’s been giving the Oilers a chance to win lately, which is exactly…

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back in the studio where we can avoid Alberta clippers and other weather systems that may be raging outside as the Great White North gets a little whiter. It's the perfect season for hockey around these parts, and we're going to talk to a guest tonight whose experiences have taken her from player to coach to advocate, and we'll hear about some of the challenges she faces in building provincial and nationa...

The NHL’s relationship with its players playing on the international stage is… convoluted at best. The league didn’t send any of its players until the 1998 Olympics, forming a relationship with the international hockey community that ran unabated for two decades. The Czech Republic would take the Gold Medal that year, and one has to…

Things have been quiet in Kraken land lately. It makes sense why. Seattle hasn’t played since the Oilers shut them out 4-0 on home ice on Saturday. Their power play went 0-6 on the day, and they were shut out for the second time in their last three games. That same PP is 0/14 in…

If there's one thing that I can honestly say about having a radio show is that we, at no point in time, have ever claimed to have any influence on anyone when it comes to the game of hockey. We don't have the same reach or market share as a TSN radio nor a CJOB locally, so seeing local news stories covering something we were talking about on The Hockey Show just a couple of weeks ago seems pretty cool. Of course, coverage matters and a few of these outlets did what seems like the bare minimum,...

As we all get excited for best-on-best Olympic hockey, an under-the-radar bombshell dropped on hockey fans Tuesday. The rink is going to be smaller by a whole three to four feet compared to NHL dimensions. Forget Olympic ice, going to be bigger — it’s going to be smaller! According to The Athletic: “The International Ice…

Nothing has come easily for the Edmonton Oilers this season. They’ve yet to win more than two games in a row, and one could argue they struggled to play even two consecutive solid games in a row, until their last two against Seattle and Minnesota. I understand a team would rather win and play poorly…

Public enemy No. 1 from last Saturday’s game between the Edmonton Oilers and Seattle Kraken won’t be in the lineup for the rematch. Kraken forward Mason Marchment found himself under the skin of the Oilers after laying a late, blindside hit on Oilers defenceman Darnell Nurse late in the first period. Marchment was challenged by…
