Max Jones is heading back to the minor leagues as the Edmonton Oilers announced Thursday morning that he was loaned to the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors.

2025 is coming to a close today, and there have been lots of news stories and analyses done on players and leagues by a myriad of people this year. I want to end this year with two simple messages for the readers of this blog. There's nothing introspective nor profound about these two messages, but I think there's a significant shift that needs to happen when it comes to hockey. I say that because no matter what article from what year I read on this blog, the changes needed to make hockey bett...

Whether you were at Rogers Place for the Oilers vs. Bruins, out and about, or home with your friends, family, or animals, I hope that whatever you did to ring in the new year was filled with happiness, friendship, and time spent doing whatever you wanted. I also hope that whatever you got up to…

The entire saga surrounding former hockey player Ben Johnson seems to have come to its predictable conclusion today after the ECHL's Allen Americans released him from the contract he signed yesterday. Thanks to the intense swell of public backlash, the Americans seem to have reconsidered their statements on "second chances" for Johnson who is a convicted rapist that spent time in jail in Canada for his crimes as he's one again a free agent. I have taken great care on this blog to explain why s...

The Oilers didn’t exactly bring their A-game on Monday night in Winnipeg, despite Calvin Pickard stealing a 3-1 win, and it would take a much stronger effort than that to beat the Bruins. Sure, Boston rolled into Rogers Place riding a six-game losing streak, but that certainly didn’t mean Edmonton would be able to take…

So long, 2025. It was a long, difficult year, and that’s something the Edmonton Oilers can surely attest to after a second straight Stanley Cup Final loss. They close out the calendar year with a middling 46-32-8 record for a .581 points percentage — the 14th best mark in the league. They closed out last…

The Edmonton Oilers have played the most road games in the NHL through 40 games, with 16 at home and 24 on the road. That is the largest split differential in the NHL, but that will change starting tonight. Edmonton plays 12 of their next 16 games at home, and by the end of January,…

It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today’s podcast, I talked about the Oilers year in review, Andrew Mangiapane trade rumours, Calvin Pickard, Connor McDavid’s heater, and much more. I kicked…

The Edmonton Oilers have been squeezing the nickel until the beaver squeals, as close to the salary cap ceiling as they can with their current roster. If there’s one benefit to the volume of injuries they’ve endured, it’s that the hard salary cap decisions have been delayed. The past week has seen David Tomášek‘s $1.2-million…

It’s the roster announcement Canadians have been waiting for since 2014. Team Canada revealed its roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina on Wednesday with plenty of reactions that followed. For the last few years, there’s been a lot of debate amongst fans and circles on who should represent Canada on the most significant…

So, let’s get this straight. The Edmonton Oilers are about to face the Boston Bruins tonight on New Year’s Eve, and Andrew Mangiapane — yes, the same Andrew Mangiapane who was a healthy scratch literally one game ago — is now skating on the second line with Leon Draisaitl. I’m sorry, what? Look, we’ve all…

The Alec Regula experiment has hit a stumbling block recently with the Edmonton Oilers, so much so that Kris Knoblauch opted to play Riley Stillman, a career AHLer, in his spot against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night. Regula was a mystery coming into the season. He was claimed off waivers last December but never…

The Edmonton Oilers have sole possession of first place in the NHL’s Pacific Division. It’s the first time all season such has been the case for the Oilers, who struggled out the gate to start the season, only to go on a 9-4-1 in the month of December, shooting them up the standings. Their ninth…

The Edmonton Oilers gutted out a 3–1 win over the Winnipeg Jets last night, doing so without forward Andrew Mangiapane, who was a healthy scratch. Perhaps the scratch was simply a reflection of his recent play, or it could signal something more. As Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman noted on a recent episode of the 32 Thoughts…

Noah Philp is a 27-year-old who has only appeared in 30 career NHL games, and most of those games were far from memorable. Losing him on waivers is far from the end of the world. It is, however, an example of what I view as a relatively large organizational flaw that the Edmonton Oilers have…

I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that Saturday’s loss to the Flames was one of the more disappointing outcomes we’ve had lately. The Oilers were outplayed for stretches, hit posts en masse, and ultimately came up a goal short of picking up at least a point in the first game…
