There’s an argument to be made that the Edmonton Oilers should never take off their new cream-coloured alternate jerseys. They should wear them in the rink, wear them in the gym, and wear them at the grocery store. Because never mind there being something in the water in Edmonton: there’s something in those jerseys. The…
Tournament gets underway on Dec 26th in Minnesota.
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 bottom six, Matt Savoie’s season so far, Vasily Podkolzin, and more. If you’ve got a…

Penn State has had eyes on its team since April, when it made the Frozen Four for the first time in program history. Those eyes increased as the offseason went on, and the anticipation heading into the 2025-26 season was the highest it’s been in the team’s 14-year history...
Officially, we're ten weeks into the season and all nine teams are going on break for the next month as players, coaches, and staff get set for exams, holidays, and travel as many players will be returning to their homes once exams are completed. This week will also see each team officially cross the halfway wark of the season with six teams having played 18 games and three teams sitting at 16 games played. That means every game on the new calendar is that much more important for playoff posit...
Recap of the game.
It’s amazing what practice will do for a hockey team. You’d be tempted to say that practice may be overrated for a team that went to the championship twice in a row. But the Edmonton Oilers are prime evidence that sleeping in your own bed, getting into a practice routine, and playing in front of…
Fans have come to expect sleepy Octobers from the Edmonton Oilers, but this year felt different. The slump dragged on, the underlying numbers cratered, and the bottom six were getting demolished. It was a bigger mess to clean up than the PDO-driven starts that have plagued Edmonton in the past few seasons. Fortunately for the…
With the Edmonton Oilers lacking a physical presence and Noah Philp landing on the Long-Term Injured Reserve, the team called up left winger Connor Clattenberg. He was been making a name for himself in Bakersfield in his first full time rookie pro season with the Condors, playing a mere 16 AHL games prior to his…
The Oilers stomped the Kraken 9-4 on Thursday night for their first runaway offensive outing of the season, and I think we were all hopeful it was a sign the team was finally turning a corner. As annoying as October and November were to re-live for the third straight year, Edmonton is starting to look…
On December 6th in 1995, the Montreal Canadiens traded Patrick Roy and team captain Mike Keane to the Colorado Avalanche for Jocelyn Thibault, Martin Rucinsky and Andrei Kovalenko in what remains one of the most lopsided exchanges in league history.
The seeds of the move were sewn on December 2, 1995 during a franchise worst 11-1 home loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Allowing five goals in the
Have the Edmonton Oilers found their mojo? Is the early-season slump over? Have they, like in the last two years, finally started to find their game two months into the season? The latest stretch of games, punctuated by a 6-2 walloping of the Winnipeg Jets, shows that might be the case. It still might be…

Recap of the game.
That’s two in a row. On Saturday evening, the Edmonton Oilers played their third game on the five-game homestand, defeating the Winnipeg Jets 6-2.

Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
After putting together their best offensive night on Thursday in a 9-4 win over the Kraken, the Oilers look to keep the momentum going in the third game of this five-game homestand against the Winnipeg Jets.
