GDB 5.0: Oilers visit the streaking Devils for first matinee of the season (1:30PM MT, SNW)
We’ve got a Saturday matinee in New Jersey on deck as the Edmonton Oilers look to rebound after a sloppy 4–2 loss to the Islanders on Thursday night. What’s tricky about this first afternoon game of the season is that 1) we’re all traumatized from weird losses in daylight hours, even though the Oilers have…

Does Adrian Kempe make sense as a target for the Oilers?
Ever since Connor McDavid announced his two-year contract extension worth just $12.5 million per season, social media has been ablaze with discussion on how the Oilers will spend the extra cap space at their disposal this summer. Last week, amidst the Buffalo Sabres’ disastrous start, names like Alex Tuch and Tage Thompson started to pop…

Who could the Oilers target from the Sabres if they blow up their roster?
Three things are certain in life: Death, taxes, and the Buffalo Sabres being awful. It may be a new season for the 32 teams in the National Hockey League, but it’s the same script for the Sabres. Through four games, the Sabres are 1-3-0, scoring just 10 goals, tied for the third-fewest in the league….

How Did Rockford Get That Name?
Cities across the map have acquired unofficial names over the course of time. As we know, Las Vegas is affectionately known as Sin City, New York owns The Big Apple, and a pile of cities are called Queen City including all of Regina, Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. No one, though, seems to have the moniker that the Rockford IceHogs use for their alternate jersey as seen to the left. Those jerseys are known as the "Screw City" jerseys, amd that's a heckuva name for any city to have. Let's fin...

Oilers Thoughts: Missing Hyman, Howard’s Reset, and a Plea to McDavid
The Oilers’ first road swing gave us a bit of everything — a power play without bite, a rookie still finding his place, and a few questionable lineup calls. There’s plenty to like and plenty to fix, but one thing’s clear: this team misses Zach Hyman. Missing Hyman Without Zach Hyman, the Oilers’ power play…
NHL Notebook: Senators’ Tkachuk out after surgery, Red Wings defencemen could be moved, and Wolf struggles for Flames
The Ottawa Senators will have to navigate life without their captain for up to two months as Brady Tkachuk underwent surgery to repair a right thumb injury. Tkachuk left Monday’s 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators partway through the third period. While the team initially hoped surgery wouldn’t be required, a second opinion proved otherwise….
Today In NHL History - Bernier's Own Goal
On October 17th in 2013, Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Jonathan Bernier flubbed a 174 foot clearing attempt that bounced off the end boards before deflecting off his skate and into the net, giving the Carolina Hurricanes a 3-2 lead with seven minutes to play. The miscue was awarded to Hurricanes' defenseman Ron Hainsey with an assist to netminder Cam Ward, but credit goes to hard-charging
Today In NHL History - Calgary Streaker
On October 17th in 2002, 21 year old Lethbridge College student Timmy Hurlburt flubbed an attempt to streak the Saddledome surface with five minutes remaining in a Boston Bruins/Calgary Flames matchup. Acting on a $200 dare, Hurlburt successfully scaled the nine foot glass clad solely in red socks and a wrist-watch only to botch the descent. Landing off-balance, Hurlburt's head struck the ice

Oilers Prospect Update: Sundin and Yevseyev keep rolling, Beryozkin still struggling to produce
It’s time for another weekly Edmonton Oilers European prospect update. Albin Sundin continues to show offensive flashes and now has his second goal of the campaign. Heading over to Russia, Nikita Yevseyev picked up a nifty power-play assist, and Maxim Beryozkin still can’t buy a goal. Still, the chances are coming, and I think he…

Rough night for Evan Bouchard, Oilers giveaways everywhere, and a hat tip to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
The Edmonton Oilers kicked off their five-game road trip with a win over the Rangers on Tuesday night, and now the task is to keep the good times rolling against the winless New York Islanders. The Isles carried a minus-six goal differential into Thursday’s matchup with the Oilers — they’d nearly been outscored two-to-one through…
DGB Mailbag: The worst and most perfect metaphor for being a Leafs fan, and more
We’re two weeks into the season, and it’s too early. Too early for panic, too early for trades, too early for rankings, too early for conclusions. In fact, it’s too early for everything but a Friday mailbag that will distract you from doing work you weren’t going to do anyway. Let’s do this. >> Read the full post at The Athletic (Want to read this post on The Athletic for free? Sign up for a free trial .)
The Day After 4.0: Mistakes mount as Oilers lose on Long Island
After the Edmonton Oilers eked out a Tuesday night win over the New York Rangers on the back of a tremendous performance from Stuart Skinner, the team knew there were some things to address.
