It goes without saying that the first few weeks for the Edmonton Oilers haven’t been up to par. Granted, sluggish starts in October are nothing new to the team, with the team finding ways to rally, leading to back-to-back appearances in the Stanley Cup Final. There’s a sense of optimism following the Oilers’ 6-3 win…

The start hasn’t been what anyone in Oil Country envisioned. But if there’s frustration brewing inside the Edmonton Oilers’ dressing room, Darnell Nurse isn’t showing it. The veteran defenceman has seen enough hockey to know that October stumbles don’t define results in January—and with a team that came within just a handful of games of…

Ten games into the season, Connor McDavid is shooting the puck less than ever, and it’s making him less effective offensively. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying he should listen to the drunk fan in section 215 screaming “SHOOOOT!” every time the puck enters the offensive zone. What I am saying is that he’s…

From day one of Captain Skates in early September, the Oilers talked about their goal of getting off to a good start. It hasn’t happened. The team went 4-4-2 and sits tied for 10th in the Western Conference. It’s not an awful start, but it isn’t close to a good start either. Edmonton had one…

Things haven’t been the best for the Edmonton Oilers in the early stages of this season. The offence has been sputtering, the defence has been shaky, and the team is playing just well enough to stick around in games. A litany of new players has arrived in Alberta’s capital this fall, and while there’s no…

For maybe the first time all season, the Edmonton Oilers stuck with their line combinations for a whole game. It’s been a point of contention for the fanbase — possibly even the players — through the first 10 games of the Oilers season, and while the team would fall 4-3 in overtime Sunday night against…

Bergeron exited the ice strapped to a stretcher, having suffered a broken nose and concussion on the play, and missed the remaining 72 games of the season. An apologetic

Booth left on a stretcher and missed the next 45 games owing to a concussion incurred on the play. Richards received a five minute major and ten minute game misconduct but was not subsequently fined or

When the Edmonton Oilers aren’t winning, it can feel like the sky is falling. Their 4-4-2 record isn’t ideal after ten games, but it’s far from disastrous. At this point, it almost feels like we should adjust our expectations and accept that the Oilers might start the season slowly. We haven’t seen the best of…
