Game 4 is always an intense one when you’ve got a 2-1 series on your hands. The Edmonton Oilers would either end up back in a tied situation with two of the next three games at home, or they’d have their backs against the wall with basically every stat stacked up against them. If ever…
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing the Oilers’ penalty kill problems against the Ducks, Connor Ingram, game plans, and more. If you’ve…

You think your team had a bad year. Are you positive? You should be, because it’s time for our annual exercise in positivity. While half the league enjoys the playoffs, we’re going to look at the other half. For each team that missed the postseason, we’ll come up with three reasons to think positively. It goes without saying that this is easier for some teams that for others. So we’ll do this countdown style, starting with the easiest team to feel good about and working our way down to the tou...

Rud, a Colorado College alum, has been an assistant with St. Cloud State the last two years.Rud replaces Matt Shasby, who stepped down two weeks ago."We are excited to welcome Eric Rud to UAA as the next head coach of Seawolf Hockey,” UAA's acting athletic director Tanya Pont said. “UAA hockey is truly unique among collegiate programs, with a ...
The Edmonton Oilers put themselves in a position where a controversial call could put them on the ropes, and that’s exactly what happened Sunday night. Despite holding 2-0 and 3-2 leads, they couldn’t find a way to quell an unrelenting Anaheim Ducks team in Game 4 of their first-round series. But in the end, a…
It’s now do-or-die time. On Sunday evening, the Edmonton Oilers were looking to tie up their series with the Anaheim Ducks. Unfortunately, the Ducks picked up the 4-3 overtime victory, taking a 3-1 stranglehold of the series. Let’s take a look at what went on in this one. The Oilers needed to come out the…
The five-game schedule is set.
There’s been a shake-up in net ahead of a crucial game for the Edmonton Oilers. Ahead of Game 4 of the Pacific Division Semifinals against the Anaheim Ducks, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch revealed that goaltender Tristan Jarry will be replacing Connor Ingram as the team’s starter. Forward Jason Dickinson is set to return to…
Recap of the game.
On April 25th in 2009, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Maxime Talbot challenged Philadelphia Flyers tough guy Daniel Carcillo to a scrap down 3-0 in the second period of Game 6 of the Conference Quarterfinals. Carcillo won the fight but Pittsburgh stole the momentum responding with five unanswered goals to win the game 5-3, clinch the series 4-2 and eventually hoist the Stanley Cup seven weeks later
Something needs to change for the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are down 2-1 in their series against the Anaheim Ducks. Aside from a dominant first period in Game 1, the Ducks have been the better team through the first nine periods. Their biggest area of concern has been health, as both Jason Dickinson and Adam…
The Edmonton Oilers are heading into Game 4 against the Anaheim Ducks, and there’s no point in sugarcoating the position they’re in. The boys are down 2-1 in the series, they’ve given away two winnable hockey games, and now they’re backed into a corner where the margin is basically zero. Lose again, and you’re staring…
It’s a pivotal game for the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night, one that could determine their fate in the 2026 NHL playoffs. Win, and they retake home ice advantage over the Anaheim Ducks. Lose, and they face a 3-1 series deficit that would force a do-or-die Game 5 in Edmonton on Tuesday. After mounting a…
Last Sunday, I laid out my paths to victory for the Edmonton Oilers and Anaheim Ducks. A quick peek at those factors through three games… Edmonton: Better defensive team since the Olympics Reliable structure Break the forecheck Centre ice depth Team experience Oh boy… How about for the Ducks? Anaheim: Dostal cementing himself Ducks flip…
Edmonton Oilers assistant general manager Bill Scott is a busy man these days. As the Oilers battle with the Anaheim Ducks in the first round of the 2026 playoffs, Scott is now set to interview with a second team for a vacant general manager’s seat. His first came in late March with the Nashville Predators,…
Through the first three games of their first-round matchup against the Anaheim Ducks, the Edmonton Oilers have scored 12 goals, averaging exactly four goals per game. If you consider the fact that Connor McDavid has been far from his best, producing only two points thus far, this is a rather encouraging fact for the Oilers….
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The tone in Kris Knoblauch’s voice signals to me he’s toying with the idea. When questioned after Edmonton Oilers practice, he sounded like he’s leaning toward the decision, but won’t say it yet. If he had a dog to walk around his hotel, he’d do the Don Cherry trick and ask Blue who he should…
It was pretty clear from Game One last Saturday that these Carolina Hurricanes were not going to be denied. They may still lose in these Stanley Cup Playoffs, but the Ottawa Senators were not going to be the team to end the Hurricanes' dream of a Stanley Cup parade this season. Despite the heroics shown by goaltender Linus Ullmark, the depth of the Hurricanes showed in each game as they got contributions up and down the lineup that the Senators simply could not match. Mix in an ineffective pow...

When I turn on an analytical coach’s mind to deconstruct the Edmonton Oilers in the playoffs, something truly weird happens. Time slows down, but it also speeds up. Time has no meaning. We’re all just bags of meat. What I think I mean is that chunks of the game blend together. Every moment has meaning,…
The highs and lows of Edmonton Oilers playoff hockey are an experience like no other, and Game 3 was a great example of it. The Oilers were outplayed, then took the lead, were outplayed again, and took another lead, only to fall to the Anaheim Ducks 7-4, with the Ducks now holding a 2-1 series…
Based on the reaction online on Friday night, you’d think the Edmonton Oilers were eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs. It may not have been that bad, but they did lay quite the egg against the Anaheim Ducks, losing 7-4, and now face a 2-1 deficit in this first-round series. Throughout the game and afterward,…
