If you’re a Toronto sports fan, you’ve had a busy fall. You watched the Blue Jays stumble down the stretch in September, only to find their footing just in time to win the AL East on the regular season’s final day. Then you watched them handle the Yankees in the ALDS before coming back to beat the Mariners in a thrilling Game 7 classic in the ALCS. That led to one of the greatest World Series ever played, with the underdog Jays giving the fat cat Dodgers all they could handle before losing a h...

In particular, their offensive play has been highly disappointing thus far, as the team ranks at a lowly 28th place in the NHL in 5-on-5 goals per hour. However, there has been one pleasant surprise amongst Edmonton’s forward group, and that…

I have to admit that I don't partake in ice cream all that often in the winter, but it's something that I only enjoy occasionally in the summer. It's not that I don't like ice cream, but finding a flavour that one likes or wants to indulge in every once in a while might be the hardest thing about ice cream. The probably means that there are some good flavours out there that I'm missing like "Unicorn Toots" or "Moon Mist" , but ice cream comes in all sorts of flavours and colours. Food dyes pla...

Kent Nilsson wasn’t in Edmonton for long after being acquired in March 1987, but the impact he made was massive. He would score five goals and 17 points in 17 games in the end of the regular season before going on a playoff run that saw him score six goals and 19 points in 21…

Love them or hate them, there’s never a dull moment when it comes to the Edmonton Oilers. They had their best come-from-behind win of the season last game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, featuring their first fight of the season, magic from the captain, and big goals and saves when it mattered most. That said,…

Monday night could’ve gone really bad for the Edmonton Oilers. Down 3-1 in the dying seconds of the second period to the Columbus Blue Jackets, the boo birds were out in full swing, and rightfully so. The team had just stunk Rogers Place out two nights prior, and it looks like the Oilers were well…

News broke early today as the PWHL decided to announce the dates and locations of their 2025-26 Takeover Tour stops. I received an email in my inbox that arrived approximately 30 minutes before the official social media blitz began, but the announcement that the PWHL was coming to Winnipeg to play at the Canada Life Centre felt like a big "finally" had been lifted off this city. Until this year's tournament in April 2025 in Czechia, the IIHF Women's World Championship attendance record had bee...

I work a part-time job in the evenings now, so I can’t watch a lot of the games. Perhaps that’s not necessarily a bad thing based on what I’ve been reading and listening to lately. The Oilers are looking grim these days, as they are barely limping along in seventh place in the division at…

The Edmonton Oilers have spent the better part of the last decade being a two-man team. Connor McDavid and Leon Drasiatil. The Dynamic Duo. A pair that was destined to lead the franchise back to the promised land. The proof is in the pudding that those two played a massive role in Edmonton’s back-to-back trips…

Flat. Uninspired. Anemic. Bland. Dreadful. There are hundreds of adjectives that would easily describe the Edmonton Oilers’ performance in their ugly 9-1 loss to Colorado, but the aforementioned words aptly describe much of this season as well. The Oilers have only won six of their first 16 games — only St. Louis, Buffalo, Nashville and…

Monday night’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets is a double-edged sword, and everyone in the Edmonton dressing room knows it. The Blue Jackets haven’t won once on this road trip. They’re limping into Rogers Place looking for anything resembling a confidence boost, and if the Oilers hand them that gift-wrapped opportunity? It’s not just…
