Today In NHL History - Laviolette Shoves Steve Ott
On December 21st in 2011, Philadelphia Flyers head coach Peter Laviolette shoved Dallas Stars forward Steve Ott aside upon being blocked from exiting the benches through the tunnel after the first period of play at the American Airlines Center. Afterwards, Ott outed Laviolette's actions as arrogant, adding "It's disrespect of our building, just let our team off, it's not that big of a deal."
How do the Oilers solve their David Tomášek problem?
David Tomášek has underwhelmed in the early going of his NHL career. Last year’s leading scorer in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL), he signed with the Oilers in the offseason to give the NHL a go. He made the team out of training camp and started out in Zach Hyman’s spot on the first line,…
Scenes From Morning Skate: The very real possibility of Connor Ingram starting tonight
The Edmonton Oilers play the Vegas Golden Knights tonight at Rogers Place. It’s the second night of a back-to-back after losing 5-2 to Minnesota on Saturday. Calvin Pickard started that game and made 25 saves, which means Connor Ingram is likely to start tonight. That’s the reality. Tristan Jarry is on injured reserve with a…
Sunday Scramble: A year from hell for the Oilers? World Junior excitement, and a case for a new playoff format
There is part of me that wonders whether this is a “year from hell” season for the Edmonton Oilers. I’ve lifted the term from longtime columnist and now podcaster extraordinaire Bill Simmons, who you may know from The Ringer. The term “year from hell team” comes up often in NFL discussions and characterizes a team…
Oilers activate Jack Roslovic, place Connor Clattenburg on LTIR, and loan Hutson to AHL Condors
A couple of roster moves ahead of a marquee matchup on Sunday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Edmonton Oilers announced that forward Jack Roslovic has been activated from long-term injured reserve, with fellow forward Connor Clattenburg being placed on LTIR. Forward Quinn Hutson has also been sent back down to the Oilers’ American Hockey…
The Oilers’ bottom-six goal differential is at the worst it’s ever been. How can they fix it?
After an underwhelming start to the season (again), the Edmonton Oilers have generally been trending up as of late. In their past eleven games, they hold a very strong record of 7-3-1. This has primarily been driven by excellent play from their superstars, as Connor McDavid has a whopping 27 points in his past 14…
Pre-Scout: Vegas looks for bounceback in Pacific showdown, but without Jack Eichel and Shea Theodore
Wrapping up Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said the Vegas Golden Knights will be an “ornery” mood for the Edmonton Oilers game tonight. It makes sense why. The Golden Knights got doubled up 6-3 against the Calgary Flames, snapping an eight-game point streak, and setting up a back-to-back where both Edmonton and Vegas…
Hockey At The Other Ralph
Apparently, I was asleep at the wheel in November because I missed a major announcement in one league. Normally, I try to keep up with most of the leagues around North America for their major stories, but this one appears to have skipped my desk despite it changing the map for one league. In saying that, it seems that there will be hockey at "The Ralph" next season, but this story has nothing to do with Grand Forks or the University of North Dakota. Instead, we need to look an hour east of Gra...

Scenes From Morning Skate: Are you panicking yet?
One week removed from trading Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round pick for Tristan Jarry and Samuel Poulin, the Edmonton Oilers placed their new goalie on injured reserve Friday. Three games. That’s all Jarry lasted before sustaining a lower-body injury in the second period of Thursday’s 3-1 win over Boston. He made 12…
GDB 36.0: Oilers face the Wild for first game of a back-to-back weekend (1PM MT, SNW)
The Edmonton Oilers are looking to wrap up their five-game road trip on a high note, but their last stop happens to be in Minnesota for a rematch against the red-hot Wild. Winners of their last six games, the Wild were already playing well before they went out and got Quinn Hughes, but they’re also…
Office Christmas Party
I don't work with Kate McKinnon nor Jason Bateman, and there aren't even employees in our office who would resemble their characters from the 2016 over-the-top comedy, Office Christmas Party . That might actually be a good thing for our business, but I could use a little more of the actors' form of entainment most days. Nevertheless, tonight is my office Christmas party where we'll have a nice dinner, have some fun in a team-based trivia game, and certain people will be able to go with somethi...
Pre-Scout: Wild on 6-game win streak haven’t lost with Quinn Hughes yet
The Edmonton Oilers are catching the Minnesota Wild at the wrong time – again. When they played two-and-a-half-weeks ago, the Wild were on a 9-0-2 run. Right now, they are on a six-game win streak, restoring their victorious ways after losing in both Calgary and Vancouver after the 1-0 shutout to Edmonton on Dec. 2. …
Today In NHL History - Buble Skates With Canucks
On December 20th in 2011, Vancouver Canucks aficionado Michael Buble fulfilled a life-long dream of skating with the team during an off-day practice after signing a one-day contract with the club. Donning the never-worn-before number 88, Buble challenged three-time Vezina nominee Roberto Luongo to a shootout, ringing a wrist shot wide stick-side off the left post before catching an edge and
Today In NHL History - Barnaby Fights Fan
On December 20th in 2000, Pittsburgh Penguins bruiser Matthew Barnaby exited BankAtlantic Center after an unsuccessful bout with behemoth Pete Worrell when an elderly Florida Panthers fan began hurling obscenities. Rather than ignoring the unpleasantries, Barnaby engaged the senior grabbing his arm and attempting to drag him through the railing. Releasing before the situation escalated, Barnaby
Today In NHL History - Makar Declines Penalty
