The Edmonton Oilers need to acquire a netminder before it’s too late. This is something that most people are aware of, but over the past few seasons, I have been an ardent supporter of Stuart Skinner. Through the quarter mark of the 2025-26 season, Skinner’s flaws have been exposed even more than in the past…

After a poor start, the Tampa Bay Lightning have returned to their usual selves. Taking care of a wounded New Jersey Devils team on Tuesday, the Bolts have won nine of their last twelve hockey games. That places them flirting with a playoff spot again, a 10-7-2 record, and back to where one would expect. …

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back in the studio tonight with a number of guests joining us to talk about a sport that only seems to get mentioned when the Olympics roll around every four years. Despite the successes of the national and provincial teams, sledge hockey or parahockey never quite gets the spotlight that stand-up hockey does, so our hosts thought it was time to get everyone up to speed about what's happening in Manitoba a...

After whatever the hell that was in Buffalo on Monday, the Oilers hit the ice in Washington on Wednesday, hoping to look like a professional hockey team again. Getting pumped 5-1 by a Sabres squad missing half its forwards isn’t exactly a confidence booster, so I looked at last night’s matchup against the Capitals as…

Wednesday was another night much like so many have been this season for the Edmonton Oilers. They got down early, watching the Washington Capitals score twice in the first six minutes of the game, and all the Oilers could do was chase. And much like other nights throughout this season, the Oilers found a way…

There’s plenty happening around the Big Ten these days, even beyond the ice. The league is deep into discussions with a private-equity group on the formation of a new venture known as “Big Ten Enterprises,” an umbrella organization that would consolidate the conference’s media rights, sponsorship agreements, and other centralized assets...

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.

Let’s take a look at what went on in…

I love trades and I love rankings, and I’m a Maple Leafs fan so it goes without saying that I love misery. For today’s post, I figured I’d combine all of those things into one piece, with a ranking of all the times that the Maple Leafs have traded away a first-round pick. After all, it feels like a timely topic right about now. After some digging, I found there have been 29 separate trades in Leafs history in which they’ve traded away a total of 31 first-round picks, so I did what any normal p...

To sit here and say the penalty kill has been a major issue for the Edmonton Oilers would be a bit disingenuous. They’ve operated at an 81.5 percent clip following Monday’s loss to the Buffalo Sabres, the 13th-ranked penalty kill. At home, they’ve one of the best on the kill, at a 90.5 percent clip…

The Oilers are having a bad time right now. Their consistently inconsistent run of late is beyond frustrating, and the analytics suggest it isn’t bad luck — that this is actually not a good hockey team. Last week, we waxed on about our dream goalies and a week later, we don’t have any action on…

The Edmonton Oilers head into Washington on Wednesday night with a lineup that looks less like strategic planning and more like making the best of what’s available. Injuries have forced Kris Knoblauch’s hand, pushing him to experiment with combinations that, under normal circumstances, might never see the ice together. First, look at the second line:…

After two seasons of being one of the top defensive teams in the NHL, the Edmonton Oilers find themselves in the bottom third of the league at the one-quarter mark of the season. It is a problem, and the players and coaches need to fix it. Quickly. The challenge is that there isn’t just one…

When the Edmonton Oilers opened the 2025-26 season a little over one month ago, the primary point of concern was whether the team’s goaltending duo could be good enough to get them over the hump. Now sitting with a mediocre 9-8-4 record at the quarter-mark of the campaign, that concern has ballooned from run-of-the-mill goaltending…

The Edmonton Oilers will be without forwards Noah Philp and Curtis Lazar for the remainder of their seven-game road trip, head coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed after the team’s morning skate in Washington. Needless to say, the injuries are starting to pile up around here. According to EdmontonOilers Head Coach Kris Knoblauch both Noah Philp and…

Certainly, there’s enough shenanigans happening on Capitol Hill that the lacklustre start for the Washington Capitals is flying under the radar. Blink and you would have missed in the 20,000 released emails this revelatory phrase: “The Caps aren’t scoring, Donny.” Perhaps a regular season where everything went right a year ago is regressing just as…

If you’re a defenceman who makes a lot of money and plays for the Edmonton Oilers, you’re likely to be the talk of the town more often than not. And recently it has been for all the wrong reasons. Both Evan Bouchard and Darnell Nurse are prime examples of that, lightning rods for criticism in…
