Last Saturday, after the Game 3 loss against the Ducks, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch was asked a question about his team’s inconsistent performance. Despite the players saying the right things and despite the Ducks being a beatable opponent, this interaction told me this team wasn’t likely to come back. Mark Spector: “It seems…

One NHL insider believes the Edmonton Oilers will be “bold” this offseason. David Pagnotta joined The Sheet with Jeff Marek on Friday, the morning after the Oilers season came to an end in Game 6 against the Anaheim Ducks.

Unfortunately, the Bakersfield Condors season has come to a halting stop after losing game three by a score of 6-2 against the Coachella Valley Firebirds and ultimately dropping the series 2-1. After finishing the regular season with 37 wins, 23 losses, eleven overtime losses, and a shootout loss, the Condors found themselves in fifth place…
One of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ longest-tenured players could be out the door this offseason. So far there has been little to no discussion reported between Evgeni Malkin and the Penguins. Before the season began, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reported that they would not be bringing their assistant captain back after the 2025-26 season. However,…

Summer has arrived early in Edmonton this year, with the Oilers eliminated from the playoffs far sooner than any in the market hoped. While locker room cleanout, exit interviews, and some difficult conversations are soon to follow, so will the noise around what this offseason could look like. After all, two months from today unrestricted…
When Connor McDavid talked before the start of the 2026 NHL playoffs, sharing how the regular season has become monotonous, it didn’t come as a surprise. After all, with back-to-back trips to the Stanley Cup Final, the regular season has become somewhat of a formality for the Edmonton Oilers. So did the first round of…
The Edmonton Oilers handled their business to stave off elimination on Tuesday, but with Game 6 happening on the road, it was going to take an even better effort if they were going to do it again. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a better effort. Not even close. Instead, the Anaheim Ducks basically controlled the game…
Something weird happened in the NHL last week. And for a change, it was something fun. Specifically, it happened four times: In Game 2 between the Flyers and Penguins last Monday, later that same night in Game 2 between Carolina and Ottawa, the next night in Game 2 between the Kings and Avalanche, and then again two nights later in Game 3 between the Sabres and Bruins. Each of those games featured a penalty shot. That’s relatively rare in the playoffs. There have been only 94 postseason penalt...
