Better Lait Than Never: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ 500th assist, Oilers trade rumours, and healthy scratches
It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today’s podcast, I talked about Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ 500th assist, more Andrew Mangiapane trade rumours, healthy scratches, Connor McDavid’s heater, and much more. I kicked…
Oilers place Adam Henrique on injured reserve, expected to return ‘after Olympic break’
Adam Henrique will indeed be out for a while. The Edmonton Oilers announced on Wednesday that the veteran forward is not expected to return until after the Olympic break and has been placed on injured reserve. Henrique went down in the first period against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday after blocking a shot from Filip…
The Day After 43.0: Kapanen shines in first game back in Oilers lineup
It hasn’t been an easy first half of the season for Kasperi Kapanen. He had played in just six games before injuring his knee on October 19th against the Detroit Red Wings, and when he was nearing a return in November, he suffered a setback in practice. He left the ice in frustration, taking it…
Oilers Thoughts: Knoblauch spot-on with Kapanen, McDavid’s double-digit shots, Hutson update, Ingram bounce back, and the new third line
The definition of frustration is the feeling of being upset or annoyed, especially when you can’t change or achieve something — a feeling many fans in Oil Country know all too well with Kris Knoblauch’s constant line shuffling as of late. But Tuesday’s game against the Nashville Predators, that frustration turned to joy, as the…
Oilers prospect Josh Samanski named to Germany’s Olympic roster
The Edmonton Oilers will have a third player make an Olympic roster. Prospect Josh Samanski will be on the Team Germany roster for the upcoming Milan-Cortina games from Feb. 11-22, joining Leon Draisaitl for the Olympics. The Erding, Germany native signed a two-year, entry-level contract in April to play his first season of North American pro…
The Howard, Roslovic, and Savoie line deserves an opportunity to be the Oilers’ full-time third line
The Edmonton Oilers may have figured out their third line. On Tuesday evening, Adam Henrique went down with an injury, playing just two shifts. That meant the Oilers needed to be creative as they were down to 11 forwards. One line that was put together in the second and third period was Ike Howard, Jack…

Oilers’ Ryan Nugent-Hopkins posts 500th assist of NHL career
One of the longest-standing members of the Edmonton Oilers has reached a significant milestone. On Tuesday night, in a game against the Nashville Predators, Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins registered the 500th assist of his NHL career, becoming just the sixth player to reach the mark as a member of the franchise. The helper came late…
Today In NHL History - FSN Hides Video Replay
On January 7th in 2010, FSN Pittsburgh producer Lowell MacDonald Jr. withheld a definitive replay from the NHL during a late second period Simon Gagne goal review. Absent the authoritative angle officials deemed the video evidence inconclusive and ruled no goal. After play resumed, prohibiting a reversal of the incorrect call, the angle was aired making clear that the Philadelphia Flyers should
Today In NHL History - Pettersson Apology & Goal
On January 7th in 2020, Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson accidentally struck Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Jan Rutta in the face with a goal mouth saucer pass intended for Brock Boeser. Pettersson immediately paused and apologized to his fallen opponent. With Rutta headed to the bench for repairs, Boeser intercepted a Steven Stamkos pass inside the blueline, finding a
Today In NHL History - Eager Punches Armstrong
On January 7th in 2010, notorious cheapshot Ben Eager of the Atlanta Thrashers sucker-punched Toronto Maple Leafs forward Colby Armstrong late in the second period of play with his team trailing by a score of 5-1. After the game, Eager continued his assault on Armstrong accusing him of being "one of the biggest phonies in the league". Sporting a patch over his right eye, Armstrong offered a two
Connor McDavid hat trick, Leon Draisaitl owns the Predators again, and Kasperi Kapanen’s Oilers return
The Edmonton Oilers haven’t exactly played their best hockey since coming back from the Christmas break, and I was hopeful that the visiting Nashville Predators could be just what the doctor ordered. The Oilers have ruined the Preds over the last few years, and I thought there was no better cure for what ails our…
Two months ahead of the NHL trade deadline, the Oilers’ plan remains unclear
This year’s NHL trade deadline will fall on March 6th, meaning we are just two months away from the final day for General Managers to make moves. Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman has already gotten involved in the trade market this season, and he didn’t exactly dip his toes into the waters either. The…
11 NHL teams riding statistical droughts that feel impossible but apparently aren’t
One of my favorite streaks in all of sports was in serious danger this weekend, but just barely survived: The Chicago Bears have still never had a 4,000-yard passer. (Yes, I know you think you clicked on an NHL article. Don't worry, you did. We’re just going to use the NFL as a jumping off point. Give me a few paragraphs and we’ll get to the hockey, I promise.) The thing about passing for 4,000 yards in an NFL season is that while it’s certainly not easy, it’s also not especially rare. Six pla...

Oilers injury news: Adam Henrique out ‘a little while’ after leaving game against Predators
The revolving door of banged-up players continued for the Edmonton Oilers.

The block in question came just over five…

Some More Fun Marketing
I had no intention of talking about Auston Matthews breaking Mats Sundin's goal total while wearing a Maple Leafs jersey, but one company has me writing about the Toronto Maple Leafs today. The two men to the left have a pretty cool connection when it comes to their record-setting goals, but I won't reveal what that is just yet. Instead, I want to talk about the solid marketing being done by a company who keeps finding unique ways to market their beverages through hockey. Budweiser is an offic...
