I'm Declining
I was invited to a Super Bowl party tomorrow, but I have decided that I won't be going. I know there will likely be amazing food there based on who invited me and the always-delicious dishes this person seems to have available, but I'm declining the invitation for one major reason: I can't stand the NFL. People always seem to assume that because I'm a sports fan, I must love the NFL. I'm here to inform everyone that it's not true. In fact, if given the option of watching any NFL game at any po...
Top 100 Oilers: No. 48 — Oscar Klefbom
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Oscar Klefbom comes in at No. 47 on our updated 2025 list. He wasn’t ranked on Brownlee’s original list. Oscar Klefbom was a darn good defenceman who had his career cut way…
Sunday Scramble: Where is your panic meter on the Edmonton Oilers?
Where is your panic meter on the Edmonton Oilers? I joined Oilersnation Everyday with Liam Horrobin on Friday. Tyler was away, hence this long-haired scrub getting a chance on the show, amidst some tension, of course, about the team. We tackled panic meter questions surrounding the coaching and the front office’s ability to make moves. I…
Rumours swirl about a potential return of Paul Coffey to the Oilers bench

Oilers’ McDavid skates on top line with Celebrini, Wilson at first Team Canada skate: ‘It feels more real’
The first indications of who Connor McDavid will play with at the Olympic Games arrived on Sunday. As Team Canada held their first skate together, the Edmonton Oilers phenom centred the top line with Macklin Celebrini on the left wing and Tom Wilson on the right wing during line rushes. TSN’s Ryan Rishaug also reported…
The Rundown - Week 15
If teams are serious about making the playoffs or securing quarterfinal byes or home-ice advantage in the quarterfinals, this was the weekend where all of that could happen. With four games remaining for most teams, there was still a tiny amount of wiggle room where positioning could be pushed to next week, but the results from this week would dictate how next plays out. In saying that, let's find out who is in, who is out, and who is playing for next week's exciting finish on this week's edit...
Ask Dubey: Did the Oilers make a mistake in trading for Tristan Jarry?
Welcome back to another edition of Ask Dubey! What a week it was around the NHL, as we had a goalie fight in an outdoor game, and the schedule wound down before the Olympic break. In this week’s edition, we touch on that, as well as whether or not the Edmonton Oilers made a mistake…

Meet the Sellers: The St. Louis Blues have plenty of players to move
The trade deadline is officially less than a month away. It’s that time of year when we look at the sellers around the league. With the Olympic break beginning after Thursday’s slate of games, the division being playoff teams and non-playoff teams is becoming clear. After just barely squeaking into the playoffs last season and…
Isolation: An Olympic Fad
After the Finland-Canada game was delayed on Thursday due to the outbreak of norovirus among the Finnish players, it seemed like the virus could become the story of the women's hockey event at the Milano-Cortina Olympics. Jason and I went over the medical side of the virus yesterday on The Hockey Show , but the one thing we made clear is that norovirus is highly-contagious and easily-communicable among people. As we know in hockey, one never wants to give an opponent momentum, but it seems tha...
Friedman: Oilers looking for players who can ‘accept bottom-six role’
It’s going to be a curious few weeks in Oil Country. With one month less a day until the NHL’s trade deadline, the Edmonton Oilers have lots to do in the way of upgrading their team. For one, they “need to move Andrew Mangiapane,” Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said in a 32 Thoughts column Friday. He’s not wrong,…

Flashback Friday: Looking at the which Oilers represented their country at the 1998 and 2002 Olympics
In just a few days, men’s hockey at the 2026 Olympics will begin.

Why this year’s annual mid-season crisis feels different for the Oilers
Let’s call this the annual Edmonton Oilers mid-season crisis. They aren’t defending well. They can’t get a save. The coach is out to lunch…. This is not a new story about this hockey team. The Oilers fans, Oilers media, and Oilers brass all say the right things at the beginning of the season. Connor McDavid…
Draisaitl spoke the truth and the entire organization should listen
Leon Draisaitl didn’t call anyone out. He didn’t rip anyone. He simply told the harsh truth about the current state of the Edmonton Oilers. Draisaitl wasn’t yelling or angry in his post-game scrum after another disappointing loss, the third this season, to the Calgary Flames. Draisaitl just spoke the truth, and he did it how…
Oilers Thoughts: Draisaitl’s passionate interview highlights his leadership, Kapanen’s momentum, Mangiapane’s first-period fire, and Jarry’s accountability
The Edmonton Oilers are now on their Olympic break, and for some players, whether they’re travelling to a sunny destination or not, I’d imagine they’ll be tuning in to watch their leaders — Connor McDavid for Team Canada, Leon Draisaitl for Team Germany, and Josh Samanski, who will also be representing Germany — compete in…
