The Philadelphia Flyers are hosting Connor McDavid and his band of Edmonton Oilers tonight. The visitors are experiencing a miserable start to their season, like every single year, but it feels different. McDavid and Draisaitl are carrying a bag full of bodies to some wins, but their recent thrashing in a 9-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche has still left a mark. Can the Flyers take advantage of a weakened Oilers team missing a couple key forwards? Or, will Edmonton keep trying to prove do...

The dance of mediocrity is often one step forward, one step back, or two steps forward, two steps back. It’s not where you want to be, and this season the Oilers reside in mediocrity. They have enough skill and talent to rise above the mushy middle, but through 17 games, they’ve struggled with consistency. Their…

The Philadelphia Flyers return to action on Wednesday night with a matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers suffered a 9-1 home loss to the Avalanche on Saturday night and had to come from behind to beat the Blue Jackets on Monday night. To put it simply, the team that has lost in the Stanley Cup Final in the last two years is struggling mightily right now. They’re without Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, leaving Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to carry even more of the load than they usuall...

Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch gave the fans screaming for accountability on Evan Bouchard an early Christmas gift on Monday night. With just over eight minutes left in the first period, Knoblauch had seen enough of his $10.5 million defenceman and parked him on the bench until the second frame. Bouchard took an unnecessary…

There seem to be two schools of thought with the Philadelphia Flyers right now: either fight like hell to stay in the fight, or sort out the major issues, finish where you may, and continue to collect assets so the rebuild isn’t done in half measures. The Flyers’ record of 8-5-2 is smack dab in…

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…

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...

Love them or hate them, there’s never a dull moment when it comes to the Edmonton Oilers. They had their best come-from-behind win of the season last game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, featuring their first fight of the season, magic from the captain, and big goals and saves when it mattered most.

It was another one of those nights from Connor McDavid where he took his game to another level. The boo birds who came out in full force at the end of the second period of Monday’s game between the Edmonton Oilers and Columbus Blue Jackets at Rogers Place seemingly lit a fire in the captain,…

Monday night could’ve gone really bad for the Edmonton Oilers. Down 3-1 in the dying seconds of the second period to the Columbus Blue Jackets, the boo birds were out in full swing, and rightfully so. The team had just stunk Rogers Place out two nights prior, and it looks like the Oilers were well…
