Based on the reaction online on Friday night, you’d think the Edmonton Oilers were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs. It may not have been that bad, but they did lay quite the egg against the Anaheim Ducks, losing 7-4, and now face a 2-1 deficit in this first-round series. Throughout the game and afterward,…

After a sloppy, messy loss on Wednesday night, the Edmonton Oilers made their way down to Anaheim for their first of two games at the Honda Center. And with the Ducks feeling pretty good about the way things went for them two nights before, it was going to take a much better effort from the…

I had a number of errands I needed to get done tonight, so my ability to watch the Stanley Cup Playoffs was interrupted by life. As much as I try to prevent this from happening, life occasionally gets in the way and needs to be dealt with accordingly. Being that I was running around tonight, I put the car stereo to good use by tuning into Game Two of the AHL Calder Cup series between the Milwaukee Admirals and the Manitoba Moose, but I also used Bluetooth to listen to Game One of the ECHL Kell...

The Edmonton Oilers have split the first two games with the Anaheim Ducks to begin the 2026 playoffs. It’s safe to say that they haven’t been at their best.

Through two playoff games this year, Connor McDavid has yet to register a point. So how have the Anaheim Ducks been so successful at keeping the Edmonton Oilers captain off the scoresheet so far? That question was top of mind on Friday afternoon’s edition of The Sheet with Jeff Marek. From Marek’s point of view,…
Tonight, the Anaheim Ducks will play their first home playoff game in eight years. Their last home playoff game was April 14th, 2018, when they lost 3-2 to San Jose in Game 2 of the opening round. They lost the next two games in a sweep and haven’t been back to the playoffs until this…

There’s a good news, bad news way to look at the first two games of the Edmonton Oilers’ first-round series against the Anaheim Ducks. The bad news is that the Oilers have split the start of the series, and their star players haven’t been their star players. The good news is that the Oilers have…
There’s no linear path to winning the Stanley Cup. Losses are inevitable, meaning that, from time to time, your team won’t have a good performance. If you’ve experienced an Edmonton Oilers playoff run before, you’ll know all about this. They were 2-0 down to L.A. last year, 3-2 down to Vancouver the year before, and…
Few teams can withstand their best players underperforming and win playoff games. In that sense, the Edmonton Oilers being tied 1-1 with the Anaheim Ducks isn’t so bad. It’s a good wager that Connor McDavid, shutout in back-to-back games, and uncharacteristically poor with puck decision and execution, will turn it around. His ankle is fine,…
