December can be a boring month in the NHL. Opening night optimism is a faded memory, the deadline is still months away, the playoff picture is jumbled, and not much is happening. And then, every once in a while, we get a day like Friday. We got one of the biggest midseason blockbusters in years, with the Quinn Hughes trade to Minnesota . We got the long-awaited Oilers goalie trade, with Tristan Jarry coming over from the Penguins . Oh, and before those two deals dropped, we also found out that...

Tristan Jarry’s first game in an Edmonton Oilers jersey was a solid yet unspectacular. He made some great stops, perhaps none better than his breakaway save on Maple Leafs forward John Tavares, but a garbage-time goal by Toronto pushed his save percentage below .900 on the night. Still, he gave the team a chance to…

What a Friday it was for the NHL. You had the surprise Tristan Jarry trade early in the morning, only for it to be outdone later that night by Quinn Hughes getting dealt to the Minnesota Wild. There were certainly some smoke screens last week about a potential Jarry trade not happening due to the…

The first feeling I had when I heard Stuart Skinner was traded? Relief. I’ve said this before, but part of the reason I wanted a new Oilers starting goaltender (beyond his play) is that I was sick of talking about him and sick of the discussion surrounding him. The Skinner topic became exhausting. Every game…
