This Week in College Hockey: Oct. 30, 2025
Last week, Tom Izzo, the longtime Michigan State basketball coach, took aim at the NCAA for granting eligibility to former G League players. For those unfamiliar, the G League functions much like the AHL in hockey — essentially the NBA’s minor-league system...
Moose win back-to-back games for first time this season as they sweep Roadrunners with 4-3 win
Recap of the game.
Updates Made
This isn't going to be a profoundly-deep update for anyone who may be wanting them, but I've been doing a few updates on the ol' blog for things that needed some attention. Despite this blog getting close to the 6650-article mark, today will have no talk about the future of this site or what I may be planning to do. To be completely honest, I really haven't given it much thought, but I was clicking through a few of the menu options and I noticed that there were things that needed updating. Tha...
Cannot Catch A Break
Everything was looking good for the Montreal Canadiens as they started the season. They had their star players under contract and willing to put in the effort to win games, they had a revamped blueline with all sorts of talents on it, and their goaltending was solid while being underrated. Head coach Martin St. Louis even smiled a few times during the preseason, but, all jokes aside, it seemed like the Canadiens had all their weapons armed and ready to go as they hunted down a playoff spot thi...
Better Lait Than Never: Oilers rollercoaster goes zoom, depth scoring, and the World Series
It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster zooming up and down, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to cover it all. On today’s podcast, I talked about the Nation Vacation to Vancouver, the Oilers’ recent run of games, Isaac Howard’s steady improvements, Jack Roslovic settling…
‘I’m ready to go’: Still a week away, Zach Hyman raring to return to Oilers lineup
It’s been 155 days since Zach Hyman last donned the Edmonton Oilers uniform. His last time lacing up the skates came on May 27th earlier this year in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, when he was hit awkwardly by then Dallas Stars winger Mason Marchment. While the play was seemingly innocuous, Hyman dropped…
NHL Notebook: Stars and Mammoth sign core players to eight-year extensions
The run of major NHL contract extensions continued this week as the Dallas Stars announced an eight-year deal with defenseman Thomas Harley worth an average annual value of $10.587 million. Harley, 24, was drafted 18th overall by the Stars in 2019 and has quickly developed into one of the league’s most reliable young blueliners. In…
Today In NHL History - Richards Shatters Glass
On October 28th in 2010, Dallas Stars forward Brad Richards fired a blistering center ice slapshot over Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick and through the glass with three minutes remaining in the final frame. The Kings topped the Stars that night 5-2 before the then-smallest crowd in Dallas Stars history, announced as 11,306 but closer to 5,000, owing in part to fans staying home to
The Day After 11.0: Have the Oilers found their groove?
Message sent. Message received. The Edmonton Oilers’ performance in the first period of Tuesday’s game against the Utah Mammoth was nothing short of unacceptable, and it was made well known. “We kind of needed a bit of a wake-up in between the first and second,” said Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. “Knobber coming in, talking about…

‘That’s got to be the standard’: Mattias Ekholm hopes Oilers build off win over Utah
It goes without saying that the first few weeks for the Edmonton Oilers haven’t been up to par. Granted, sluggish starts in October are nothing new to the team, with the team finding ways to rally, leading to back-to-back appearances in the Stanley Cup Final. There’s a sense of optimism following the Oilers’ 6-3 win…
Oilers Prospect Update: Dalyn Wakely leading the way for UMass-Lowell
It’s time again for another weekly update from around the pipeline. As usual, it was a busy weekend with all the NCAA and CHL players playing in multiple games. The European prospects have been quiet as of late, with Nikita Yevseyev’s scoring drying up and Amur Khabarovsk’s scoring numbers dipping since the start of the…
Isaac Howard scores again, Jack Roslovic settling in, and the Oilers love winning the hard way
It was a tough weekend for Edmonton Oilers fans, as the boys dropped both games on the West Coast after disappointing efforts against the Kraken and Canucks. Back at Rogers Place for the first of a three-game home stand, the Oilers welcomed the red-hot Utah Mammoth for the first time since actually having a name….

The Utah Mammoth are 7-0 since unveiling their new mascot, Tusky, during their home opener against Calgary on October 15th.

Utah is the only team in the NHL…

Scenes From Morning Skate: Darnell Nurse preaching process over panic
The start hasn’t been what anyone in Oil Country envisioned. But if there’s frustration brewing inside the Edmonton Oilers’ dressing room, Darnell Nurse isn’t showing it. The veteran defenceman has seen enough hockey to know that October stumbles don’t define results in January—and with a team that came within just a handful of games of…

Pre-Scout: Utah Mammoth are the hottest team in the West right now
Winners of seven games in a row — no one is hotter in the Western Conference than the Utah Mammoth. Similar to the vibe check game against the Montreal Canadiens in the Oilers’ last home game, the Mammoth support a dangerous top-six, scoring 15 goals in their last three games. The Mammoth wrap up a…

A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Connor McDavid isn’t following through yet on his plan to shoot more
Ten games into the season, Connor McDavid is shooting the puck less than ever, and it’s making him less effective offensively. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying he should listen to the drunk fan in section 215 screaming “SHOOOOT!” every time the puck enters the offensive zone. What I am saying is that he’s…
