Pre-Scout: With home ice advantage on the line, Oilers can’t take streaking Canucks lightly
Of the two possible problems for the Edmonton Oilers, the one they currently have is the preferred option, I reckon. Would you rather the Oilers be scoring at will, but struggling to suppress goals against? Well, we’ve seen that, and it hasn’t been a long-term winning strategy. The Oilers know it too, and there’s a…

Review: Pronger’s pre-released Oilers contract drama prime driver of uncharacteristically dry book

Oilers and Kings could meet in first round of NHL playoffs for fifth year in a row
The Edmonton Oilers’ first-round opponent will either be Colorado, Anaheim, or, for a fifth consecutive season, the Los Angeles Kings. What’s odd about this potential matchup is that despite the Oilers winning the previous four meetings, there isn’t much hatred between the two teams. The Kings haven’t shown much anger or frustration in the regular…
Who's The New Guy?
If you're looking at the goalie to the left and thinking you know him from his gear, that's Minnesota Wild netminder Jesper Wallstedt. It's Wallstedt's first full season in the NHL despite playing in five games prior to this campaign, but the young netminder has fared well with an 18-9-6 record, a 2.61 goals-against average, a .916 save percentage, and four shutouts. His wins and shutouts are a team record for a rookie goaltender, his save percentage is tied for first and his GAA ranks second....

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?

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…
