It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Unless it isn’t. The first half of the season is filled with checkpoints for NHL teams. There’s the curse of November 1st, when you’d better be within four points of the playoffs. By U.S. Thanksgiving, you’d better be in there, somewhere, or else you've really got your work cut out for you. But by the holiday freeze? At this point, for most teams, you are what you are. And when some teams open up their presents at this time of year, they find a lump of...

With it being the holiday season, there's likely a chance that you'll be at a family gathering where you'll encounter extended family. Most of these people you know, but there could be that odd aunt, uncle, or cousin whose attendance at those family functions isn't as regular. That's what today's edition of The Rundown is all about - catching up with those former U SPORTS players who are playing in faraway lands, but still helped to build the programs into what they are today. I started thi...

On December 21st in 2011, Vancouver Canucks forward Daniel Sedin deflected a high clearing pass from linemate Alex Burrows past Detroit Red Wings superstar Pavel Datsyuk with his head, utilizing a soccer move rarely employed in ice hockey. Daniel's move decidedly raised the brotherly bar set by a stickless Henrik in last season's playoff against the Nashville Predators, when his fancy footwork

David Tomášek has underwhelmed in the early going of his NHL career. Last year’s leading scorer in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL), he signed with the Oilers in the offseason to give the NHL a go. He made the team out of training camp and started out in Zach Hyman’s spot on the first line,…

The Edmonton Oilers play the Vegas Golden Knights tonight at Rogers Place. It’s the second night of a back-to-back after losing 5-2 to Minnesota on Saturday. Calvin Pickard started that game and made 25 saves, which means Connor Ingram is likely to start tonight. That’s the reality. Tristan Jarry is on injured reserve with a…

There is part of me that wonders whether this is a “year from hell” season for the Edmonton Oilers. I’ve lifted the term from longtime columnist and now podcaster extraordinaire Bill Simmons, who you may know from The Ringer. The term “year from hell team” comes up often in NFL discussions and characterizes a team…

After an underwhelming start to the season (again), the Edmonton Oilers have generally been trending up as of late. In their past eleven games, they hold a very strong record of 7-3-1.

Wrapping up Hockey Night in Canada, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said the Vegas Golden Knights will be an “ornery” mood for the Edmonton Oilers game tonight. It makes sense why. The Golden Knights got doubled up 6-3 against the Calgary Flames, snapping an eight-game point streak, and setting up a back-to-back where both Edmonton and Vegas…

Apparently, I was asleep at the wheel in November because I missed a major announcement in one league. Normally, I try to keep up with most of the leagues around North America for their major stories, but this one appears to have skipped my desk despite it changing the map for one league. In saying that, it seems that there will be hockey at "The Ralph" next season, but this story has nothing to do with Grand Forks or the University of North Dakota. Instead, we need to look an hour east of Gra...
