Oilers special teams a mess, the snake bite is real, but at least Ryan Nugent-Hopkins stays hot
The weird thing about matinee weekends like this one is that you never really know what you’re going to get. Will the change in routine throw the players off and open the door for more chaos? Will one team show up sharper than the other? Will we forget the game’s even on? Between the odd…
Puck management, inconsistent line combos key reasons why Oilers struggling to score
Few hockey teams are good enough to pass up shooting in key scoring areas like the slot. Few hockey teams can overcome poor puck management. Few hockey teams can actively avoid chipping pucks to create a strong forecheck, create turnovers in the offensive zone, and be successful in scoring. Few hockey teams can play with…

Holy Shooting Gallery, Batman!
Canada West men's hockey is one of those sports where there are different levels for teams based on how aggressively they recruit, their own expectations for their season, and the people running the programs. We've seen the Alberta Golden Bears hold a standard that few teams could meet, but the recent emergence of the Saskatchewan Huskies, the Calgary Dinos, and the Mount Royal Cougars gave brought a little more parity to the conference. Tonight, though, the Huskies reminded everyone why they'...

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.

A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
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…

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.
