Calvin Pickard’s agent says there’s ‘not enough evidence’ Jarry or Ingram are better
Calvin Pickard’s agent made a strong defence of his client sticking around with the Edmonton Oilers, saying he isn’t sure that Pickard isn’t the team’s number one goalie. Long-time player agent Ritch Winter joined The Jason Gregor Show on Wednesday and was asked about his client, Calvin Pickard, being waived by the Oilers. He said…
‘This Canadian team is scary’: Canada fans reacts to 5-0 win over Czechia
Hockey fans have waited 12 years for NHL players to participate in the Winter Games, and after a decade, they finally got to see Connor McDavid represent Canada on hockey’s grandest stage in hockey: the Winter Olympics. Oilers fans and Canadians across the country tuned in Thursday morning as McDavid and company hit the ice…

The Hockey Show - Episode 699
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back with the second week of Olympic hockey chatter as the Milano-Cortina Olympiad continues. We saw the Canadian women stumble in their quest for gold, the Canadian men start their quest for gold, and a few other storylines that have emerged in hockey and other sports that are worthy of discussion. What shouldn't be forgotten is that even small mistakes in a competition can effect the outcome of the even...
Looking back at Leon Draisaitl’s history with Team Germany
For Edmonton Oilers fans who’ve been around to watch Leon Draisaitl transform from an 18-year-old kid into the dominant player he is today, delivering many wonderful memories in Oil Country, it was a proud moment seeing him wave the flag for Germany at the Olympic opening ceremonies. On top of that, Draisaitl was recently named…
Connor McDavid’s three-assist game launches Canada over Czechia in Olympics opener: Recap, Reaction, and Highlights
Connor McDavid has been waiting his entire life for this moment. Representing Canada on the international Olympic stage, a chance to be “pulling on that sweater, being in a room with the different generations of great players,” as he said in his Players’ Tribune piece last week, is something that’s taken far too long to…
Oilers Prospect Update: Akey, Hutson and Poulin continue to shine for Condors
It was a tough weekend for the Edmonton Oilers’ AHL affiliate Bakersfield Condors as they dropped both games in the home-and-home to the Ontario Reign in regulation. Leaving the weekend without a point gives the Reign an eight-point swing in a tight Pacific Division race. Before the weekend started, the Condors were sitting at 55…
How should the Oilers approach a trade deadline that appears to be a sellers market?
Parity is a big conversation in the NHL this season. In the Eastern Conference, with just eight points separating 14th place and a playoff spot, there really only appears to be one team that is committed to being a seller, and that’s the New York Rangers. Ryley Delaney wrote about them earlier this week in…

Scenes From Morning Skate: Canada’s goalie question looms large ahead of Olympic opener
So here’s where we’re at: Canada plays Czechia this morning to kick off their Olympic tournament, and John Cooper still won’t tell us who’s starting in net. All he’ll say is that two guys will rotate through the first two games, which honestly just makes this whole thing more interesting. And look, we all know…
Rinkrat to Rink Star: At Union, Dunbar Finds Place to Thrive
Union junior defenseman Tyler Dunbar didn’t blink. He stared for a brief moment. It was as if the idea of giving up on hockey was incomprehensible...
Better Lait Than Never: I’m happy the Oilers are on a break… we all needed it
It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today’s podcast, I talked about the Oilers‘ coaching conversation, trade rumours, the winter Olympics, spring in February, and much more. I kicked off this…
OGDB 1.0: Canada opens Olympics against Czechia (8:40 AM, CBC)
The last time we saw NHL players on Team Canada in the Olympics was in 2014. Pharell Williams’ song “Happy” was the biggest hit. True Detective debuted. One of the great TV villains of all time, King Joffrey, was killed in Game of Thrones. Sidney Crosby was the only 100-point scorer in the NHL and Drew…
An Ode To Dennis Green
I'm not sure if I was more surprised by the anger that Canadians had over the absolute beating handed to the Olympic Canadian women's hockey team by their American counterparts by the shock that some seem to express on social media about not knowing a result like we saw today was entirely in the cards. The US team has been whooping the Canadian women over the course of the calendar year, and today's exclamation point in Milan may have been a preview for a future game where gold medals are awar...
Olympic Notebook: Slafkovský shines, U.S. women make statement against Canada, and more

Team Canada GM Armstrong on McDavid: ‘Gold means everything to Connor right now’
There’s just one more sleep until Team Canada’s best hockey players participate in the Olympics for the first time in a dozen years. The intensity and anticipation are ramping up for this team, laden with Stanley Cups and winners at the highest level. Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid wants to join his teammates in winning…
Oilers 2026 trade deadline target: Boone Jenner
One of the Edmonton Oilers’ biggest needs is a third-line centre. Boone Jenner is one of the best options available for that role ahead of March 6th’s trade deadline. It’s unclear if he’ll be traded, as the Columbus Blue Jackets have 65 points in 56 games, just four points behind the Boston Bruins for the…
Pre-Scout: Czechia’s best chance to beat Canada is goaltending and David Pastrňák
There’s strength in numbers. For the Czech men’s hockey team, that strength is their netminders, not the slim pool of players from which they select them. Their first big test will be taking on the powerhouse Canadian team Thursday morning. To do what Dominik Hašek and Jaromir Jagr did in 1998, shock the world and…
Eight current and former Oilers, including Gretzky, Hall, Draisaitl and McDavid, named to CHL top 50 players of all-time
Eight current and former members of the Edmonton Oilers have been named to the Canadian Hockey League’s top 50 players of all-time list. It isn’t a finalized list, however, as the league has opened a fan vote running through March 10th, which will allow fans to select their own top 10 CHL players of all-time….
Looking back at Connor McDavid’s history with Team Canada
At the last Winter Olympics in 2022, close to 2 billion people tuned in to watch the events, and if this Winter Olympics gets anywhere near that number, those who don’t know the name Connor McDavid will soon learn it — when they see a hockey player clearly on another level, blowing past defenders on…

Team of the Week: Quinnipiac
Maybe you haven't noticed, but Quinnipiac is churning along, already surpassing 20 wins for the seventh straight season (not including the COVID-shortened year). That also means it's on its way to a seventh straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. Two of those seasons had 30 wins, and one of them included a national championship...

Oilers’ Leon Draisaitl skates with former teammate Dominik Kahun for German Olympic team, Samanski to centre 3rd line
The first set of projected lines for Team Germany has been released, according to Daily Faceoff. It’s no surprise that Edmonton Oilers star and Team Germany captain Leon Draisaitl will centre the top line. He’s set to play with former Oilers teammate Dominik Kahun on the right wing, who played 48 games in 2020-21, scoring…
