The Draft Lottery has come and gone. Your dreams of the Oilers landing Rasmus Dahlin have been smashed. The fantasy of adding Svechnikov or Zadina to McDavid’s wing is no more. It’s not all doom and gloom though. Ladies, gentlemen and all my fellow draft nerds out there it’s officially mock draft season!
On this week’s episode of the Real Life Podcast, the boys are back with a brand new podcast for a brand new week. As always, it was another jam-packed podcast that covered everything from the Stanley Cup playoffs to Connor McDavid at the World Championships to throwing things on the ice at hockey games.
In unsurprising news last week, Connor McDavid was left off the Hart Trophy finalists list. In other unsurprising news, Twitter erupted while complaining about the thought process behind the PHWA’s voting. It was a discussion that built up for weeks about how Connor was likely to be snubbed solely on the fact that the Oilers did…
Oilers captain Connor McDavid was named as the Canadian captain for the upcoming World Hockey Championship in Denmark coming up in May.
The Draft Lottery is in the books, the weekend has wrapped, and now it’s time to waste company time talking about the Oilers again. That’s why the mailbag is the perfect item to soak up some of that sweet, sweet hockey knowledge or argue with us in the comments section. If you’d like to get in…
Last night, fate fell short this time as the Oilers lost out on the draft lottery sliding back from 9th to 10th. The impact of the slide isn’t huge, but this year’s draft will be for the Oilers and they should capitalize on it by trading their first round selection.
The bad news: Last season was, in no way, one the Oilers were hoping for. The good news: with arguably the best player in the world leading the way and some solid secondary pieces already in place, Edmonton is not far away from once again being a force in the Pacific Division. Look no further…
After the NHL Draft Lottery odds were finalized a couple of weeks ago, we knew what kind of work we had ahead of us if we were really going to #MakeItFive. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t meant to be this year as the Edmonton Oilers fell back a spot and will select 10th overall.
My friends, the day is finally here. Draft Lottery day. Our Stairway to Heaven. A day when Oilers fans everywhere feel a little more confident than anyone else in the league because we’ve been there before, we’ve climbed to the mother truckin’ mountaintop in spite of all odds. Sure, some may say that the Oilers…
Who will be the new coaches in Edmonton; will Calgary move a D man for a winger this off-season; have Toronto’s big 3 improved; the Canucks are not ready for life without the Sedins; NHL Draft rankings, the playoffs and more in this week’s Nation Roundup brought to you by the DailyFaceOff.
The NHL describes it’s Hart Trophy as the following: An annual award given to the player judged to be the most valuable to his team. The winner is selected in a poll of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association in all NHL cities at the end of the regular season. Apparently, Connor McDavid isn’t one of the three…
As the 2018 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs trudge on into the second round, we have added one more fight to the list in the playoffs. Making our grand total, a WHOPPING, three fights so far. The NHL is committed to the dumbing down of passion and fighting, especially in the most animosity filled time in…
