Scenes From Morning Skate: The Oilers try again for three straight wins
The Edmonton Oilers are approaching their first third consecutive win of the season. Again. Over halfway through the season, and they still haven’t managed it. They’ve had plenty of chances. They’ve won two in a row multiple times. But that elusive third win? It keeps slipping away. And at this point, the Oilers are tired…

Sarah Bruise-jold?
Having been able to watch her play before she became a professional hockey player, there was never any doubt that former StFX X-Woman sniper Sarah Bujold had the talent to continue playing. Her 2016-17 season where she scored 24 goals and 43 points in 24 games is still one of the best seasons in recent U SPORTS history, and the only award she seemed to be missing from her trophy cabinet was a U SPORTS National Championship. What also stands out from that five-year period is that she only spent...
