Things got chippy in the last Battle of Alberta. On Tuesday, the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers played for the second time this season, the first time since the season opener. Despite being on Festivus, two days before Christmas, the two teams weren’t very festive. After a rather tame first period and an Oilers’ goal…
I don’t know if any of y’all actually celebrate Boxing Day but I suppose if you watch the English Premier League, this is a big day (even though there’s only one game on Boxing Day this year). Anyways, I hope everybody is continuing to take it easy out there. Here’s a random clip:
DeForest Buckner OUT for season! Sauce Gardner back! IU football looking for QB! Pascal Siakam pissed!
His role with the team has been greatly diminished over the past couple of months, and now David Tomasek is officially finished with the Edmonton Oilers . The team will be placing him on waivers on Sunday (at the end of the NHL's Holiday Roster Freeze period) for the purpose of contract termination. Once he officially clears waivers, he will be heading back to the Swedish Hockey League. Oilers and Tomasek mutually agree to part ways. He’s going back to SHL, but has to clear NHL wai...
The World Junior Championship tournament got started on Friday in Minnesota. Blackhawks prospect Anton Frondell and Sweden were on the ice in the first game in the entire tournament, and they skated away with an impressive 3-2 win over a gritty Slovakian squad. Frondell scored the first goal of the entire tournament in the middle of the second period. GOAL: Anton Frondell (#16) with a filthy one-timer to open the scoring for Team Sweden pic.twitter.com/O5HpkyzvZL — BHF (@Blackh...
The New England Patriots will visit the New York Jets down seven starters. Wide receivers Mack Hollins and Kayshon Boutte, guard Jared Wilson, defensive tackles Milton Williams and Khyiris Tonga, as well as linebackers Harold Landry III and Robert Spillane have been ruled out for Sunday’s game, head coach Mike Vrabel announced. But running back […]
The Jets make the aggressive swing everyone has been waiting for, jumping up to No. 1 overall in a rare intra-city, intra-stadium trade with the Giants to secure their quarterback of the future to open this NFL Mock Draft . From there, the draft unfolds with familiar themes — quarterback desperation, wide receiver premium, and edge-rusher scarcity — but with some surprising twists. The Raiders dive back into QB roulette. The Browns pivot from their typical trench profile to a wide receive...
Hello CSR! I apologize for the delay, but happy holidays to you all! On Sunday, the Panthers face off against an NFC playoff contenders in the Seattle Seahawks, and former Panthers QB Sam Darnold who has since been on a redemption tour after they let him walk. The Panthers defense has been very good at […]
There's one team in the NHL that is separating itself from the rest of the NHL, and it's obviously the Colorado Avalanche. Minnesota Wild fans are well aware of this, having gotten a taste of the buzzsaw known as the Avs in a 5-1 loss last Sunday. But Colorado's fearsome reputation has been built up...
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Cam Talbot comes in at No. 58 on our updated 2025 list. He was not ranked on Brownlee’s original list. Cam Talbot was the best Edmonton Oilers goalie of the 2010s and…
On Friday, the Seattle Seahawks announced their selection of Week 17 game captains ahead of Sunday’s matchup vs. the Carolina Panthers. This week’s captains are running back Kenneth Walker III, nose tackle Jarran Reed, and linebacker Drake Thomas. Thomas will be making his third appearance as a game captain this season, having last played with […]
On December 26th in 2011, New Jersey Devils forward Ilya Kovalchuk fired an errant pass from the Carolina Hurricanes goal line past extra-attacker and intended recipient Adam Henrique and into the Devils empty net for an own goal, down 3-2 with 29 seconds to play. Afterwards, the oft-maligned overpaid winger acknowledged "we were working hard, but a bad decision by me cost us the game."

According to the Edmonton Oilers’ social media accounts, the team announced Friday that it will be placing forward David Tomasek on waivers for the purpose of contract termination. According to a report from Swedish outlet Värmlands Folkblad, Tomasek is set…
Recent reports indicate that FanDuel Sports Network, one of the biggest regional sports networks remaining in the traditional media market, is at serious risk of bankruptcy. Without getting too deep into the weeds of corporate restructuring and renaming practices, FanDuel was formerly known as Bally Sports Network before their parent company (Diamond Sports Group, now […]
All it took for Connor McDavid was to get into a groove. And now that he’s found it, he seems nearly unstoppable, tying a career-high in points in the month of December, racking up a staggering 12 goals and 31 points. He’s on pace for 50 goals, 95 assists and 144 points — totals that…
This retrospective looks back at 15 years of Jets representation on the world stage and the moments that helped shape the next generation of talent.
The Los Angeles Kings have been kicked out of the top-3 in their division and recently traded Phillip Danault after things went south quickly. Danault has completely lost his scoring touch and has just five assists in 31 games this season (30 with LA). The second/third line two-way center at least still has his defensive game, and that's why the Montreal Canadiens traded for him, but he wasn't adding to the offense that the Kings needed, in LA. The team reportedly turned down offers to get a p...
I thought we were done with this. Sitting down on the couch on any given evening of Blackhawks hockey, taking in the first few minutes of the game with those little twinkles of optimism that something good might happen during the next two or three hours and then having the realization — or, perhaps the reminder — settle in that this is Blackhawks lineup is simply not as good as the one on the opposite bench and that it’s going to take some rather special circumstances for the game to rema...
It’s that time of year again, folks! Christmas is behind us but the most wonderful time of year still lies ahead — the 2026 World Junior Championship. There’s little better in this hockey season than this facing off of the world’s best under-20 aged talent, and this year’s installment is set to be no different. And on top of that, there will be a lot to be excited about for Flyers fans in particular, as the organization will be represented by a good handful of exciting prospects on some of the...
The Seattle Kraken are in an interesting spot. It's tough to pin down their direction as they came in as a struggling expansion team, shocked everyone in their second season, and then are back to a non-playoff team, but also not a lottery team either. The Kraken have plenty of good young talent, but also tradeable veterans to alter their roster and bring in more futures and open up space. In the 2024 offseason, the Kraken brought in Chandler Stephenson and Brandon Montour, but it didn't push t...
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had somewhat of a nightmare season and are second-last in the Eastern Conference with 37 points (16-15-5). There have been plenty of injuries, underperforming players, and assistant coach Marc Savard already let go, but more is going to be in store for the Maple Leafs if they don't go on a run very soon. The next to go will have to be head coach Craig Berube, despite comments that Berube and GM Brad Treliving are safe. Organizations will always say that until it ge...
The 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins might not be particularly good as a team. Especially when it comes to their defense and current level of goaltending. But they do have some good players, and they have some really intriguing young players that could be really good players in the coming seasons. The best of that group is […]
