Christmas has officially arrived, the wrapping paper carnage is well underway at the Castle Milk, and the coffee is doing some heavy lifting after a long night of appetizers and cocktails.

As the Edmonton Oilers finished off a 5-1 stomping of their provincial rival Calgary Flames on Tuesday night, and Connor McDavid finished off a jaw-dropping five-point performance, Jack Michaels dropped a line that really grabbed my attention: “I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him better. I’ve seen every one of the games he’s played. I’m…

Normally at this time of year, I try to watch as many hockey games as I can, mainly because network television plays the same dozen Christmas movies over and over again. Hockey can offer up something less predictable than those movies can after watching them for the umpteenth time, but I find myself watching less hockey after hearing about the potential upcoming strike by ECHL players. If you haven't heard, the negotations between the ECHL and the Professional Hockey Players Association (PHPA)...

Given all of that in the Edmonton Oilers’ final game before the Christmas Break on Tuesday night, it’s easy to see why the team would be feeling good. Couple…

Quinn Hutson was recalled on December 15th, two days before the Condors played the Ontario Reign. Hutson went on to score his first career NHL goal against the Boston Bruins, but it looked dim for the AHL squad without him. In their first game without Hutson, the Condors lost 4-0 and looked completely lost offensively….

Is there anything better than a Battle of Alberta as the last Oilers game before the Christmas break? Not to me. There’s just something about a home-and-home to bookend the break that makes sense to me, and last night at Rogers Place, the boys took on the Flames for their first meeting since the season…

Who’s the best player in the NHL right now? What about the top five? Connor McDavid is the most talented player in the world. You could argue that Nathan MacKinnon is best player this season , which is a slightly different category. Leon Draisaitl is right behind those two. Kirill Kaprizov has the biggest contract, and he’s mostly lived up to it so far. On the blueline, the eternal Cale Makar vs. Quinn Hughes debate rages on. And in goal, Connor Hellebuyck is the reigning Vezina winner, not to...

Christmas Eve is here, which means it’s officially time to fire off a wish list to Santa and hope he’s feeling generous when it comes to our beloved Edmonton Oilers.

70/30. That’s the percentage that NHL insider puts on future Hall of Fame goaltender Marc-André Fleury lacing the skates up once again, and if he were to, the Edmonton Oilers could be one of the front runners. Seravalli made the comments about Fleury’s future on Monday morning radio hit with Sports 1440’s Kevin Karius. “There’s been…

Remember when the Edmonton Oilers sucked, and we all criticized them? Yeah, well, that was justified. But the schedule didn’t do them any favours. That was one of the worst schedules we’ve seen in a long time. Multiple four-game road trips. A seven-game eastern swing through exclusively Eastern Conference opponents. Six time-zone changes in roughly…

What occured next is best described with moving pictures. O'Reilly received an eight game suspension for leading the charge with Mad Mike collecting a mere pair for beating a fan with

On December 23rd in 2010, Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic delivered a bare-knuckle sucker punch to an unsuspecting Freddy Meyer in response to being up-ended by the Atlanta Thrashers defenseman. Despite cowardly striking a defenseless player, whilst being restrained by a linesman no less, Lucic miraculously escaped suspension for his classless act further fueling speculation of league

Since Calgary Flames president Don Maloney declared to the world that rebuilds are for losers in late November (I’m paraphrasing here), the team on the ice is backing it up, to both the excitement and chagrin of their fanbase. They are 9-3-1 since the rejection of the rebuild, and visions of playoffs aren’t inconceivable anymore,…

Connor McDavid has been on a heater in recent weeks. Every time he touches the puck, he’s managed to create something for the Edmonton Oilers and in his last 10 games, he has scored 12 goals and 26 points. It feels like he has returned to his human-highlight reel form that fans were so used…

The Edmonton Oilers acquired Adam Henrique ahead of the 2024 trade deadline to play in their top nine, mainly as the third-line centre. While he had some short-lived success on a line with Mattias Janmark and Connor Brown that spring, Henrique has become an offensive blackhole. The Oilers are only scoring 1.13 goals per hour…

While Kris Knoblauch acts as the teacher for this Edmonton Oilers team, it’s Connor Ingram’s dad who taught the coach a thing or two back in the day. Imperial, Saskatchewan, some 679 kilometres away from Rogers Place, is a town northwest of Regina that fans may already know as the hometown of Knoblauch. But now,…
