Flashback Friday: Looking at the Ryan Smyth trade 19 years ago that never should’ve happened
There have been two Edmonton Oilers to hit games played milestones this season. For the first time in franchise history, a player played their 1,000th game with the Oilers, as Adam Henrique reached the quadruple-digit game mark on October 21st against the Ottawa Senators. On January 18th, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins became the first Oiler to play…

Meet the Sellers: The Jets have gone from Presidents’ Trophy winners to sellers in less than a year
It’s not often that you see the reigning Presidents’ Trophy winners sell at the following deadline. However, that is the case of the Winnipeg Jets this season. Last season, they finished with a 56-22-4 record, good enough for 116 points. Through 57 games this season, they don’t even half their total of points from last…
Knoblauch makes changes and the early results look good
The Edmonton Oilers scored 13 goals in two games, and in five of six periods, they dominated the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings. It is a very small sample size, but the systemic changes Knoblauch made had the Oilers playing with better puck support, more pace, fewer stretch passes, and they were less reliant…
Oilers 2026 trade deadline target: Ryan O’Reilly
One of the best third-line centres available ahead of March 6th’s trade deadline is Ryan O’Reilly. The 35-year-old has the rare distinction of being a second-round pick who immediately made the National Hockey League. He’s since gone on to have a Hall of Very Good career, scoring 323 goals and 880 points in 1,209 career…

Four Oilers who need to step up down the stretch
After a thrilling few weeks of Olympic hockey, the NHL is back underway, and for an Edmonton Oilers squad that limped into the break, there’s a heightened sense of urgency. They sit third in the Pacific Division, but only four points separate them from the playoff line. HockeyStats’ analytics model has them at a 60…

The Oilers have a goaltending problem
The Edmonton Oilers welcomed us all back in classic Oily fashion. They gave us a glimmer of hope Tuesday night, and then left us with nothing at all. Despite holding two separate two-goal leads, the Oilers managed to leave Anaheim with nothing but a bitter taste. Arguably with more questions as to why the team…

After Olympic gold, where does Connor Hellebuyck rank among history's best?
Connor Hellebuyck has had a good month. You might have heard about it. The three-time Vezina winner and defending Hart Trophy winner as NHL MVP was the story of the story of Team USA’s gold medal win over Canada on Sunday, making 41 saves in a 2-1 OT win. It was the sort of signature game that a goaltender’s reputation can built on. After years of hearing about how he couldn’t win the big one, Hellebuyck went out and almost single-handedly won one of the biggest ones that there’s ever been. Th...

GDB 60.0: The Oilers need saves and better puck management (8:30 PM, SNW)
A dreadful third period, led by Tristan Jarry, cost the Edmonton Oilers an important two points in Anaheim last night. The Oilers controlled the first two periods and led 4-2 to start the final frame but they allowed four goals in the third and lost 6-5. It was their fourth loss in a row, a…
Pre-Scout: Oilers face Kings after both teams blow 3rd period leads
Closing out third period leads haunted both the Edmonton Oilers and the Los Angeles Kings last night. For the Oilers, it was a two-goal lead at the second intermission.

Report: Oilers were ready to trade Mangiapane for Maccelli, but Maple Leafs nixed it
The Edmonton Oilers’ search to trade Andrew Mangiapane has been nothing short of exhaustive. The winger has been on the market since late December, but the Oilers seemingly have had much interest, despite the fact that reports have surfaced from far and wide about potential suitors. One team that had interest in signing Mangiapane last…
The Hockey Show - Episode 701
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight with our normal setup as the Olympics are over, the Paralympics are a week from starting, the NHL is back, and all of the craziness involved with those changes can be discussed. I'm not sure I've ever felt as less excited for hockey as I was last night with NHL players being back on the ice after what we witnessed in Milano-Cortina, but it's going to be hard for the NHL to replicate the hocke...
The best, worst, and most realistic trade deadline scenarios for the Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers are in a pretty tough spot heading into the March 6th trade deadline. They have some assets, but they need to be careful how they spend them. Sure, they could dangle a piece like Isaac Howard if they are getting an impact player who comes with term or team control, but I…
Oilers Game Notes: Kings seeking first win of the Artemi Panarin era
A late-February matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings usually serves as a preview of the annual snooze-fest the two teams play in the first round of the playoffs in the spring. That might not be the case this year. As it stands, the Kings sit outside the playoff picture, three points back…
I Can't Watch This
After having two weeks of incredible to hockey watch where television viewers weren't bombarded by sports betting commercials and digitals advertisements all over the boards, it was back to NHL hockey tonight where if it can be sold, it will be. While the action on the ice will once again make us wish for a third line that boasts Sidney Crosby and Nick Suzuki, the advertising was particularly noticeable this evening after having streamed a vast number of Olympic hockey games where advertising ...
The Day After 59.0: Losing streak reaches four as Oilers struggle in return from Olympics

Edmonton has now dropped four straight games dating back to late January, allowing 22 goals during…
Meet the Sellers: The New Jersey Devils are bad again
The New Jersey Devils are a team in limbo. For the past four seasons, they’ve flipped between looking like a good team and being a mediocre team. In 2022-23, they finished with a 52-22-8 record, knocking off the New York Rangers in the first round. Due to goaltending struggles, they missed the 2024 playoffs, but…
