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.

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."

With two starters unavailable, the New England Patriots will have to rely on their wide receiver depth in Week 17 against the New York Jets. Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins, who are dealing with a concussion and abdominal injury, respectively, have both been ruled out by head coach Mike Vrabel on Friday. In turn, the […]
Looking for a Boxing Day deal? May I interest you in a slightly used David Tomasek? 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 […]
Welcome to Oilersnation’s top 10 stories of the year, where we count down the most-read stories you, the reader, clicked on in 2025. The Edmonton Oilers navigating through Mattias Ekholm’s injury in last year’s playoffs certainly was a big story. Injured late in the regular season, he wouldn’t return until the final game of the…
Joined by friend Matt Strauss, we remember two modern Weird Islanders who felt like they were around more than they actually were; Parker Wotherspoon because of his many years in the AHL and Dmytro Timashov because of how he came to the Islanders. Parker Wotherspoon is not an exciting player. As a defensive defenseman, his […]
Good morning and Happy Boxing Day, Devils fans and hockey fans alike. One of the best hockey tournaments is getting underway once more, and it starts with some solid matchups. It is the World Juniors Championships once more, and it will run from today, December 26, to Monday, January 5. Today, we have some group […]
Good morning, LSB. The DMN’s Kevin Sherrington has his annual regrets column in which he admits the 2025 Rangers were one of several things he was wrong about this year. Jayson Stark also continues his Strange But True series for 2025. And MLB dot com has a list of each team’s farthest home run in […]
The Jets placed quarterback Justin Fields on injured reserve this week, officially ending the quarterback’s season. It was an academic move. There was virtually no chance that Fields was going to play again this season. Placing Fields on IR allowed the Jets to add an additional player to the roster before the end of the […]
On paper, this looks like a straightforward matchup. In reality, it’s the kind of game that tests discipline, preparation, and patience — especially for a Seahawks team still fighting to control its own destiny to be the seed 1 in the NFC. The Carolina Panthers’ decisive game isn’t against the Seattle Seahawks, but against the […]
The NFL played three games on Christmas but none of them had much of a direct impact on the L.A. Rams playoff picture. Those games don’t really start until the Packers play the Ravens on Saturday, but then really kick off on Sunday as the Rams face the Falcons, the Seahawks face the Panthers, and […]
Now that the first half of the 2025-26 season has wrapped up for many players, it’s time to highlight the top five most impressive seasons thus far from those prospects in the Colorado Avalanche system. A couple things to note, one this is just a snapshot look at short-term returns — not long-term career projections – – nor is […]
They may have flirted with disaster last Sunday in Baltimore, but the New England Patriots managed to beat the Ravens to secure a trip to the playoffs and hold onto their one-game lead in the AFC East. Winning the division has been a stated goal by head coach Mike Vrabel since his arrival, and the […]
