Turkey legs slow Oilers in post-Christmas break loss to Flames: Recap, Reaction and Highlights
Well, that was a let down. Not only did the Edmonton Oilers lose 3-2 to the Calgary Flames on Saturday evening, but it was a rather docile affair in terms of chipiness. Let’s take a look at what went on in this game. Seven minutes into the first period, the Flames got on the board…

An Alleged Felon Or A Cry For Help?
I have spent the last couple of days reading up on all the happenings in the ECHL's current labour battle with games having been postponed as of yesterday afternoon. Admittedly, I think Jason and I hit on all the topics on The Hockey Show on Thursday, and I know I wrote a lot about what seemed to be the major points of contention on Monday. Today, though, a new wrinkle emerged in the ownership ranks as it seems one team owner might be in a lot of hot water legally, and this could certainly aff...

Avoiding All The Malls
I've never understood the need to go shopping the day after Christmas. Boxing Day is normally when a lot of stuff, including boxes, makes its way out to the recycle bins and garbage bins, but the idea of going to get more stuff after receiving gifts the day before makes no sense to me. I would hope that there are no sales bigger than Rome considering how large that city is, but there are clearly those who enjoy the rush of getting that deal that my brain just doesn't comprehend. I found it fun...

If you’re a Battle of Alberta fan, tonight’s the night.

Terminating Tomášek’s contract a win-win for player and Oilers
David Tomášek is set to join the legion of overseas free agents signed by the Edmonton Oilers who just didn’t work out. He’s not the first — following suit with the Gaetan Haas’, Joakim Nygard’s and Mikko Koskinen’s of the world — and he likely won’t be the last, and above all, he wasn’t a…

Pre-Scout: Will the Oilers and Flames have jump or turkey legs in Battle of Alberta rematch?
Do you have memories of Christmas where you and your brother would wrestle in the basement? Maybe over a game of mini-sticks, stealing a gift, or just because? Well, that’s what the Edmonton Oilers game against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday reminded me of — an older brother doing the ol’ ground-and-pound on the scrappy…

Two weeks later, the pros and cons of the Stuart Skinner for Tristan Jarry trade
So I’m sure by now you’ve seen that the Oilers actually pulled the trigger on a Tristan Jarry trade with Pittsburgh, sending Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round draft pick. I feel nostalgia for the offseason of 2016 again. Back then, the Oilers made a blockbuster trade of a one-for-one in Taylor Hall…

Today In NHL History - Ilya Kovalchuk's Own Goal

In Honour Of John Hughes
There's something special behind the movies of John Hughes when one considers how beloved his films are. Whether it's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles , Uncle Buck , or The Breakfast Club , there's humanity in all of his movies that not many other writers have captured in their time. Losing Hughes in 2009 was a big loss for the film industry because he was so good at finding the human story in the comedies he wrote, and it might be a long time before we see a writer as good as him again. With i...
