Get all the latest News and Rumors from the Hockey World
At the last Winter Olympics in 2022, close to 2 billion people tuned in to watch the events, and if this Winter Olympics gets anywhere near that number, those who don’t know the name Connor McDavid will soon learn it — when they see a hockey player clearly on another level, blowing past defenders on…

Maybe you haven't noticed, but Quinnipiac is churning along, already surpassing 20 wins for the seventh straight season (not including the COVID-shortened year). That also means it's on its way to a seventh straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. Two of those seasons had 30 wins, and one of them included a national championship...

It’s Tuesday afternoon, and there’s a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today’s episode, the guys discussed the Oilers at the Olympics, Team Canada’s line combinations, a potential trade idea for Andrew Mangiapane, and much more. We kicked off…
The first set of projected lines for Team Germany has been released, according to Daily Faceoff. It’s no surprise that Edmonton Oilers star and Team Germany captain Leon Draisaitl will centre the top line. He’s set to play with former Oilers teammate Dominik Kahun on the right wing, who played 48 games in 2020-21, scoring…
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Craig Muni comes in at No. 46 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 38 on Brownlee’s original list. Craig Muni was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the…
I know there's a push among women's hockey players to allow for more physicality in their game, and I'm not here to stifle that discussion and any resulting progress. If the women want to throw checks, they should be able to come to a reasonable agreement on how that can be done. As we saw in today's Canada-Czechia game, there are some women who are rather good at throwing bodychecks, but, just as in men's hockey, there can be injuries as we saw Canadian captain Marie-Philip Poulin exit the ga...
The Edmonton Oilers’ depth forwards haven’t produced much offence this season. Some have suggested it is due to a lack of opportunity or role. Is that true? I wasn’t sure, so I decided to compare the Oilers’ depth forwards time on ice and production to other teams in the Western Conference. Let’s see how they…
Leon Draisaitl will don the ‘C’ for the Germans at the 2026 Olympics, something his teammates said was a no-brainer decision for the team. For Draisaitl, it won’t be the first time that he’s worn a letter while representing his country on the international stage, wearing an ‘A’ at the 2014 World Juniors, and an…
The Olympic break is upon us, leaving a 21-day break between Edmonton Oilers games. Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Josh Samanski are preparing for the start of a great Olympic tournament, while others are getting a much-needed holiday for the breakneck pace of Oilers games. As we wait for the first Team Canada game on…

Brendan Whittet has arguably held one of the most difficult jobs in college hockey for 17 years, as head coach at Brown. For Whittet, however, it is a job he has poured everything he had into year after year and a job he has loved for so long...

Captain Germany. The Edmonton Oilers star forward Leon Draisaitl was named the captain of Team Germany on Monday, cementing his status as an athletic icon in his native country. Earlier, Draisaitl was chosen as a flagbearer at the Milan-Cortina Opening Ceremonies by the German Olympic Committee, arriving at the games before teammate and now rival…
The New York Rangers have already made two notable trades. Shortly before the roster freeze on Wednesday, they sent the best winger, Artemi Panarin, to the Los Angeles Kings. Before that, Carson Soucy was traded to their geographical rivals, the New York Islanders. Still, the New York Rangers could make a few more moves before…
Not watching the Edmonton Oilers play every second night feels kind of strange, doesn’t it? But for many of us, watching the Olympics is filling the void — Team Canada’s women’s team dominated Switzerland 4–0, and it was a treat to see Leon Draisaitl wave the flag for Team Germany at the opening ceremony, with…
The mask came off (literally) as the Vezina winner sat down for a chat about a number of topics.
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing the Oilers’ coaching noise, Paul Coffey’s return, Leon Draisaitl’s comments on the team, and more. If…
Let’s get you caught up on all the NHL action you missed over the weekend. There wasn’t any. Cool, good column. See you next time. OK, we won’t wrap it up quite that quickly. But with most teams getting only a couple of games in since this time last week, don’t expect any major changes in the rankings. Instead, let’s use this week as a bit of a reset and regroup before the rankings take a few weeks off. For example, now would be a good time to look at which teams have been on which lists so fa...

The Edmonton Oilers have been linked to Toronto Maple Leafs forward Bobby McMann in recent weeks. About two weeks ago on Oilers Now, Bob Stauffer mentioned the forward, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman agreeing that he’d look good on the roster. From there, the rumour took on a life of its own, with The Fourth Period’s…
I was invited to a Super Bowl party tomorrow, but I have decided that I won't be going. I know there will likely be amazing food there based on who invited me and the always-delicious dishes this person seems to have available, but I'm declining the invitation for one major reason: I can't stand the NFL. People always seem to assume that because I'm a sports fan, I must love the NFL. I'm here to inform everyone that it's not true. In fact, if given the option of watching any NFL game at any po...
