Three goals in each period. Four goals at 5×5. Four power play goals. One shorthanded goal. Six different goal scorers. Nine goals in a game for only the third time in the last 20 seasons, and the Edmonton Oilers had a lot of smiles after their 9-4 victory over the Seattle Kraken last night. The…
Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
It is a North American prospect update, and there were a few players in the Edmonton pipeline who have had strong outings recently. Paul Fischer has continued his point streak that has now reached five games, and his NCAA counterpart, Dalyn Wakely, netted his first career hat trick and continues to lead UMass Lowell in…
Latest on 37 and 24.
On December 5th in 2009, Philadelphia Flyers goon Daniel Carcillo sucker punched Matt Bradley of the Washington Capitals with five minutes remaining in the first period and the teams tied 1-1.
Carcillo received 29 minutes in penalties on the play (Bradley drew nothing) with the NHL adding a four game suspension, forcing the Flyer to forgo $43,597 in pay. Washington scored three times on the
The Edmonton Oilers needed that. They really needed that. About everything that could’ve gone their way Thursday night did in their 9-4 walloping of the Seattle Kraken, as Connor McDavid notched his 13th career hat trick, four players posted three or more points, and many a milestone was hit. For McDavid, he’s faced some criticism all…
If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know that I go out of my way to celebrate one of the rarer feats in hockey whenever and wherever it happens. The man to the left is the latest player to accomplish such a feat, and the rookie Tri-City Americans netminder also had himself one heckuva Wednesday. That player is Xavier Wendt from Plymouth, Minnesota - about 45 minutes east of Grand Casinos Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota - and the 17 year-old netminder hit a milestone and added his na...
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
We didn’t have to wait long for the Oilers and Kraken to square off again after what was a spicy afternoon in Seattle on Saturday. That game started to boil over a little bit, and it was nice to see two Pacific Division teams getting fired up and getting after it. Ultimately, the better team…

The Edmonton Oilers are back. On Thursday evening, the Oilers smashed the Seattle Kraken 9-4 in a much-needed win. The Oilers are now 12-11-5 this season with three more games on this five-game home stand. Just over seven minutes into the game, the Oilers took a 1-0 lead thanks to a short-side shot by Connor…
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed the Dave Chappelle show at Rogers Place, Jay’s new dad hat, his trip to New York, and more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real…
The date and opponent is now set.
Good news Oilersnation: The Edmonton Oilers have played quite well in four of their last five games. Bad news: They only have two wins in those five games. The Oilers need to string together some wins, and Seattle is a team they need to beat. Their last five games saw them lose 2-1 in OT…
From a small rink in Saskatchewan to the big stage in Winnipeg, Yager’s rise is just getting started.
Calvin Pickard is starting on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken, and it’s about time. Not because Stuart Skinner has been bad—he hasn’t. That shutout against Seattle five days ago was his best performance of the season. He was solid against Minnesota. And he’s been giving the Oilers a chance to win lately, which is exactly…
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back in the studio where we can avoid Alberta clippers and other weather systems that may be raging outside as the Great White North gets a little whiter. It's the perfect season for hockey around these parts, and we're going to talk to a guest tonight whose experiences have taken her from player to coach to advocate, and we'll hear about some of the challenges she faces in building provincial and nationa...
The NHL’s relationship with its players playing on the international stage is… convoluted at best. The league didn’t send any of its players until the 1998 Olympics, forming a relationship with the international hockey community that ran unabated for two decades. The Czech Republic would take the Gold Medal that year, and one has to…
Things have been quiet in Kraken land lately. It makes sense why. Seattle hasn’t played since the Oilers shut them out 4-0 on home ice on Saturday. Their power play went 0-6 on the day, and they were shut out for the second time in their last three games. That same PP is 0/14 in…

Recap of the game.
If there's one thing that I can honestly say about having a radio show is that we, at no point in time, have ever claimed to have any influence on anyone when it comes to the game of hockey. We don't have the same reach or market share as a TSN radio nor a CJOB locally, so seeing local news stories covering something we were talking about on The Hockey Show just a couple of weeks ago seems pretty cool. Of course, coverage matters and a few of these outlets did what seems like the bare minimum,...
