Pre-Scout: Bedard vs. McDavid the focus, but Blackhawks boast many exciting young players
On this Daylight Savings Time weekend, the Chicago Blackhawks have been rolling back the clocks 18 years with their better-than-anticipated start. Back in 2007-08, those young Hawks were not the dynasty team they’d become yet. But this year’s team and that team won five of their first 11 games, as the 07-08 Hawks took big…

How have Howard, Tomášek, and Savoie performed for the Oilers in the first month of 2025–26?
Some rookies start the NHL campaign red hot, like Montreal Canadiens’ Ivan Demidov, who is atop the rookie points leaderboard, but more often than not, it takes rookies time to settle in and adjust to the speed of the game at the NHL level. Having said that, the Edmonton Oilers have two rookies — a…

Oilers Prospect Update: Positive signs from AHL Condors despite losses in three of four
Since the last update, the Bakersfield Condors have dropped three out of four games. Now sitting at a 3-3-1 record through seven games (only one of the losses has been by more than a goal), they sit in fifth place in the Pacific Division. So far, the main issue leading to losses is the defensive…

Today In NHL History - Helm's Halloween Costume
On October 31st in 2010, Detroit Red Wings forward Darren Helm dressed up as his locker room stallmate and sometimes linemate Todd Bertuzzi, complete with matching fake tattoos courtesy of Jeff Shea at Wholeshot Tattoo and favorite pieces from the veteran's wardrobe. Triple-taken by the sight of Helm when arriving at the team's Halloween party, Bertuzzi described the costume and ensuing
Today In NHL History - Craig Anderson Returns
On October 30th in 2016, Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson returned after a brief absence to care for his wife Nicholle, who had just been diagnosed with a rare form of throat cancer, to backstop his team to a 2-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers. Anderson stopped all 37 shots he faced, including 18 in the third period, to post the 35th shutout of his career. With news of his wife's illness
Today In NHL History - Gretzky's Jersey Typo
On October 30th in 1997, New York Rangers forward Wayne Gretzky skated in a game against cross-river rival New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum with his name mispelled "Gretkzy" on the back of his jersey. Far from an isolated incident in the world of sport with typos and misspellings abound, rarely does it involve the sports greatest player of all time skating for one of the league's highest
NHL Notebook: Avalanche sign Martin Nečas to eight-year, $92 million deal
On Thursday, the Colorado Avalanche signed Martin Nečas to a massive eight-year, $92 million extension, with an annual cap hit of $11.5 million. He is now just the latest top 2026 free agent to come off the board, as next summer’s market continues to look drier by the day. Nečaswas dealt to the Avalanche last…

Oilers need to ease up on playing time for McDavid and Draisaitl during heavy November schedule
While I was engaging in some online banter on who deserves the most blame for the game-winning JT Miller goal during Edmonton’s OT collapse against the New York Rangers on Thursday night, I couldn’t help but notice the time-on-ice distribution of the Oilers — it got me concerned about the direction the team is trending….

Darnell Nurse scores two, Matt Savoie’s first NHL goal, and another spectacular Oilers collapse
When the Oilers and Rangers met up on October 14th, Edmonton grinded out a 2-0 win on the back of a Stuart Skinner shutout. It was one of those games where the boys needed their goalie to steal one, and that’s exactly what happened. So, with New York in town for the rematch on Thursday…
The Day After 12.0: Knoblauch open to benching Bouchard as Oilers’ mistakes continue to mount
Even the Devil himself would be spooked by the way the Edmonton Oilers have been playing. As an October full of ghastly mistakes kept adding up for the Oilers, Halloween Eve saw them leave the candy bowl outside for the neighbourhood kids to pillage. And that’s what the New York Rangers did, taking advantage of…
TBC: The Pittsburgh Penguins
I'll be honest in saying that there aren't a lot of books that I've read where the complete history of a team is both described and brought to life through pictures. For some teams, their histories would occupy volumes of books as there would be all sorts of key moments in those franchises' histories. For others, the stories would be shorter, but there still would be big moments. For a franchise like the Pittsburgh Penguins, they have reached the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in thei...

The Women Are Back!
Admittedly, I am not Australian nor would I ever pass for one. And while no one would mistake me for an Australian, I feel like I would fit in quite nicely at an AIHL game. Beign that I'm already a Melbourne Mustangs fan, I'm probably not welcome in most arenas across the Australian continent, but I'm a loyal fan. The only problem is that the AIHL is on hiatus until next spring, so it's time to dive back into the other league in Australia! The AWIHL hits the ice next week, and the Australian w...

The McIntyre Monster
It isn't often that a player with NHL experience finds himself accepting a contract offer from an ECHL team, but we've seen a few players turn what some believe to be a "last-ditch effort" to make their way back to the NHL into a long-term residence with their new team. Goaltender Zane McIntyre is in that situation now as he signed a standard player's contract today with the Tahoe Knight Monsters after Jordan Papirny was recalled by the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights. McIntyre's return to Nort...
