On January 25th in 2004, Washington Capitals owner and AOL executive Ted Leonsis attacked season ticket holder Jason Hammer, grabbing his neck and throwing him to the ground, in response to the fan's game long heckling and insulting sign "Caps Hockey; AOL Stock -- See a Pattern?". Embarrassed by the outburst Leonsis apologized to Hammer the next day and the pair agreed to move past the melee.
The Edmonton Oilers were not good during the Decade of Darkness. Aside from being in the playoff conversation in 2007-08 and 2012-13 (mainly because of the lockout), the Oilers were almost always at the bottom of the league. From 2006-07 until 2015-16, the Oilers didn’t make the playoffs once, hence the nickname the “Decade of…

With the Edmonton Oilers’ first three-game win streak of the season and the excitement packed into those games, if you could bottle all that energy into a morning drink, coffee companies would be out of business. The Oilers pulled off their first comeback from a three-goal deficit in the third period since 2022 with a…
A recently retired Edmonton Oiler offered his critique of the team, saying they need to find ways to give depth players roles. Derek Ryan, who played with the Oilers from 2021-22 to 2024-25, was on Oilers Now with Bob Stauffer on Wednesday. Stauffer asked Ryan if he viewed Edmonton as a legitimate Stanley Cup contender. …
The Pacific Division is in an interesting spot with 30 games to go in the regular season.

Latest from practice on the NHL club of Winnipeg.
The tenth time’s the charm. With a 4-3 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, the Edmonton Oilers finally put together their first three-game winning streak of the 2025-26 season. They had won back-to-back games nine times earlier this year, only to watch each potential heater stall in the third game. For a…
As we know, modern NHL nicknames are terrible, with most of them either just being a player's name with an -er or -y ending tacked on, or something based on player initials that features zero creativity. Let's fix that. How it works: Readers send in nicknames for players (or lines or pairings or whatever), and a small group of us rule on whether they were good or not. We're be looking for either of two kinds of submissions: - Brand new nicknames that you came up with, or that are perco...

We are deep into silly season, so names are being thrown around among NHL fan bases like they’re going out of fashion. There’s an understanding among Edmonton Oilers fans that the team doesn’t have much money to spend. That has put them out of the running for someone like Artemi Panarin, and probably any of…
In the 2020s, Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid have been mainstays atop the NHL scoring race. McDavid has the most points this decade with 738 since January 1st, 2020, while Draisaitl is second with 656 followed by Nathan MacKinnon (643), Nikita Kucherov (571, as he missed the 56-game, 2021 season) and David Pastrnak (569).

The Edmonton Oilers are approaching their first third consecutive win of the season. Again. Over halfway through the season, and they still haven’t managed it. They’ve had plenty of chances. They’ve won two in a row multiple times. But that elusive third win? It keeps slipping away. And at this point, the Oilers are tired…
