For the first time ever the Edmonton Oilers will face off against the Vegas Golden Knights and we will get the McDavid vs Eichel matchup that was set up way back in 2015; albeit with Eichel on a different team. That is certainly one storyline to watch but there are many to follow in this series. Thi...
Scrolling through the comments section in my last blog I saw a number of people that questioned why the Oilers should be worried about the Vegas Golden Knights and that they are the worst team Edmonton has played in the last couple seasons in the post-season. That simply isn't true and if the Oilers...
Once again; people should not take the Vegas Golden Knights lightly. Vegas came out swinging hard in the first period and immediately put the Oilers on their heels. The only thing Edmonton had going for themselves early on was their powerplay which remained as threatening as it was in the first seri...
In Game 1 I don't know what team showed up to play but it certainly wasn't the Edmonton Oilers. In past years that would have been the case; the Oilers were a team that would on some nights look like a Stanley Cup contender and on other nights look completely lost and in over their heads. In Game 2...
The Edmonton Oilers are getting absolutely dominated by the Golden Knights at 5 on 5 in this series. While Game 2 was a great performance by Edmonton, it began due to Vegas playing undisciplined and letting the Oilers special teams do what they do best. The Golden Knights fell into a hole and couldn...
This series makes no sense. Both Vegas and Edmonton have alternated this series being the dominant force and looking totally helpless. Last night was the Oilers turn to take over the game and they did so in convincing fashion, playing arguably their most complete game of the entire post-season th...
I cover the Edmonton Oilers as a blogger and while it's impossible to avoid completely unbiased statements, I do my best to provide a neutral opinion. By the rules written as they are, the one game suspension to Darnell Nurse was the right call. My issue with it comes more from the fact that bot...
The Edmonton Oilers have been eliminated by the Vegas Golden Knights in Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That sentence hurts to write. This was a great team to watch throughout the year and one that had Stanley Cup aspirations. People from all around the NHL had the Oilers as a real threat fo...
This blog is coming about a month earlier than I was hoping. The Oilers have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs and now the organization will start to turn their heads towards the Draft, Free Agency, and the Off Season as a whole. The message from Ken Holland, Jay Woodcroft, and the p...
Good morning everyone. Apologies for the few day hiatus, moved to a new house and finally have something of an office set up so I can finally sit down for a few minutes and type out some Oilers thoughts. The Edmonton Oilers were beat by the Vegas Golden Knights. This we are all very aware of. The...
WHOA. I expected the Edmonton Oilers to make small moves this off-season, tweak the roster here and there and maybe try and bolster the defense. I did not expect them to come out swinging like this. Today the Oilers traded a 2023 5th round pick... For the rights... To Jayden Grubbe. That...
