Why Jack Roslovic has been an excellent fit for the Oilers

In general, the Edmonton Oilers have had yet another underwhelming start to the season. In particular, their offensive play has been highly disappointing thus far, as the team ranks at a lowly 28th place in the NHL in 5-on-5 goals per hour. However, there has been one pleasant surprise amongst Edmonton’s forward group, and that…

What next for Barcelona and Marcus Rashford?

So far, so very, very good for Marcus Rashford at Barcelona. At least in terms of the numbers he has posted to date. After the win against Celta Vigo last time out, the Manchester United loanee now has six goals and eight assists in the 16 games he’s played in all competitions. That’s better than […]

Identity and culture is key for Paul DePodesta and the Rockies

When the Colorado Rockies announced Paul DePodesta as their President of Baseball Operations, I was admittedly a bit upset at the news. After all, he had been out of the sport for 10 years, and there is the argument that the Cleveland Browns are no better off now than when he joined them. Sure, blame […]

Disrespectful Play Index: Ahmad Hardy runs against the dying of the light

Two poems that I often see quoted by sportswriters: “Do not go gentle into that good night,” by Dylan Thomas and, “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” by Alfred, Lord Tenyson. You probably know them, they’re quite famous. I thought about these two poems writing this week’s Disrespectful Play Index. Because what happens when you’re […]

Maple Leafs lose Auston Matthews, Anthony Stolarz to injury

The Toronto Maple Leafs are having a roller coaster of a start to the season, and Tuesday night in Boston, it went from bad to worse. During the first period in a scrum in front, goaltender Anthony Stolarz was injured. He'd then leave the game in the first intermission, as Dennis Hildeby came out to start the second period. It's an upper body injury for Stolarz, but for now, it doesn't sound very serious.  "I don’t believe that’s serious. I think he’ll be fine," Berube said when asked abo...

NHL Rumors: How The Oilers Could Make A Trade For Juuse Saros Work

Can the Edmonton Oilers swing a Juuse Saros trade, and what would it actually take to make it work.  A top tier starter like Saros would stabilize a team that has wobbled through another uneven fall. It's also complicated. The Nashville Predators are not rebuilding, Saros carries a hefty cap hit, and any move likely requires the player’s approval.  That puts pressure on the Oilers to present the kind of offer that solves the money and the assets in return in one shot. What an Oiler...
