On October 30th in 2016, Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson returned after a brief absence to care for his wife Nicholle, who had just been diagnosed with a rare form of throat cancer, to backstop his team to a 2-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers. Anderson stopped all 37 shots he faced, including 18 in the third period, to post the 35th shutout of his career. With news of his wife's illness

It's not new to see Evan Bouchard taking the brunt of the blame for an Edmonton Oilers loss, but the vitriol is reaching epic proportions in Oil Country after his disastrous game in their 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Rangers Thursday night. Let's start with Oilers beat writers, who are once again questioning the beleaguered defenseman's performance, and the lack of a benching. Epic night for Bouchard, who goes minus-3 with the primary giveaway on two Rangers goals. He goes to ...

The Edmonton Oilers could clean some things up in their game, but are currently over .500 and in a playoff spot. Things could be worse and they have been to start each of the last two seasons, but the team turned it around and has gone to back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals. Goaltending has been the biggest issue with the Oilers and why many believe they haven't yet hoisted the Cup. On that, Ryan Richaug said, "They're going to let it ride here with Skinner for a little bit...If he's not capable o...

The Edmonton Oilers seem to be in great hands with general manager Stan Bowman as he has made almost all solid moves since joining the team. Nobody can bat 1000, but he also doesn't sit still and let things play out when there are obvious issues. The Oilers don't have much cap space to work with this season, but will have plenty to utilize in the offseason. But that is a long way away and Edmonton is a Stanley Cup contender again, even if they don't look like it quite yet. To get there, some m...

While I was engaging in some online banter on who deserves the most blame for the game-winning JT Miller goal during Edmonton’s OT collapse against the New York Rangers on Thursday night, I couldn’t help but notice the time-on-ice distribution of the Oilers — it got me concerned about the direction the team is trending….

The Edmonton Oilers have been without Zach Hyman for the entire season thus far and are 5-4-3 on the season. There have already been a ton of line combinations used throughout the lineup this season. When the veteran returns, lines should stabilize a bit, but so should the power play. Surprisingly, yet unsurprisingly, the Oilers have the third-best power play in the NHL at 30.3%, despite the absence of Hyman. David Tomasek has filled in for him, and although Hyman makes more of an impact on th...

When the Oilers and Rangers met up on October 14th, Edmonton grinded out a 2-0 win on the back of a Stuart Skinner shutout. It was one of those games where the boys needed their goalie to steal one, and that’s exactly what happened. So, with New York in town for the rematch on Thursday…

Even the Devil himself would be spooked by the way the Edmonton Oilers have been playing. As an October full of ghastly mistakes kept adding up for the Oilers, Halloween Eve saw them leave the candy bowl outside for the neighbourhood kids to pillage.

Tuesday night against Utah was the first time in roughly nine games that I felt like the Oilers gave us a glimpse of their “A” game. We really haven’t seen them reach that level since their win over the Vancouver Canucks back on October 11. Since then, they’ve had three other victories, but none of…

His last time lacing up the skates came on May 27th earlier this year in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, when he was hit awkwardly by then Dallas Stars winger Mason Marchment. While the play was seemingly innocuous, Hyman dropped…

Message sent. Message received. The Edmonton Oilers’ performance in the first period of Tuesday’s game against the Utah Mammoth was nothing short of unacceptable, and it was made well known. “We kind of needed a bit of a wake-up in between the first and second,” said Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. “Knobber coming in, talking about…

It goes without saying that the first few weeks for the Edmonton Oilers haven’t been up to par. Granted, sluggish starts in October are nothing new to the team, with the team finding ways to rally, leading to back-to-back appearances in the Stanley Cup Final. There’s a sense of optimism following the Oilers’ 6-3 win…
