NHL trade rumours: Hurricanes’ Jesperi Kotkaniemi a good option for the Oilers, but cap issues could get in the way

There is a potential third-line centre on the market for the Edmonton Oilers. On Friday morning, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that the Carolina Hurricanes are listening to offers regarding Jesperi Kotkaniemi. It’s a bit surprising given the Hurricanes are considered a Stanley Cup favourite, but it’s been a rough season for the 26-year-old, left-shot centre….

Sunday Scramble: The predictably unpredictably Oilers, a bad day for the Senators, and annoying whistling at Mammoth games

I, for one, am finding the humour in the Edmonton Oilers‘ inability to string together three wins.  Oh, the Los Angeles Kings, one of your biggest rivals, are in town after losing to Winnipeg just 24 hours before?  Whack.  Big divisional game to keep pace? A jazzed-up building celebrating the Great and Powerful Leon Draisaitl…

The Rundown - Week 11

Eight teams returned to action this weekend with playoff implications being the story arc in a few of those series. The Alberta Pandas started the second half with the bye, but there was action played at Clare Drake Arena as well. We'll touch on that game after the Canada West games are reviewed, but, with the number of games remaining getting smaller for everyone involved, this weekend was all about collecting points for those who still have playoff hopes. Let's see who did what to help their...

Oilers’ Connor McDavid extends point streak to a career-best 18 games

On the night that Leon Draisaitl celebrated his 1,000th National Hockey League point, Connor McDavid surpassed a career best. Coming into Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings, McDavid had a 17-game point streak, the third time he’s reached that milestone. Over those 17 games, McDavid has 18 goals and 41 points.

His Better Half

A lot of people likely recognize the guy to the right as Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie. Beside him stands his beautiful wife, Haley, who has to deal with all of Eric's career twists and turns including moving when Eric is traded or signs elsewhere, keeping daily distractions from Eric when he's scheduled to play, and dealing with an unhappy goaltender if he has an off night. I'm not a professional athlete so I'm sure I've left a few details out about some of the stuff Haley does for Eri...

The Hips Don't Lie

Eight teams were in action today in Canada West women's hockey action, but it was the one team who wasn't that lead to today's discovery. I'll talk more about those other games on The Rundown on Sunday, but it was an exhibition game between the Alberta Pandas and the ACAC's Red Deer Polytechnic Queens that had me checking Alberta's website for scoring information. While I was there, I noticed they had published the boxscore for their exhibition game last week against the NAIT Ooks, so I went a...
