For the first time in the 2017-18 season, the Edmonton Oilers have a healthy roster. Is this a sign of things to come? Or is it too little too late? Although things are good in Oil Country, things aren’t looking great for the team’s top prospect, Kailer Yamamoto, who went down with an injury in…
Chaos and the Oilers; Flames saving Sam Bennett and looking to deal; Brock Boeser is a one man show in Van; Johhny Bower’s perfect celebration; the Top moments of 2017, World Juniors and more in this week’s Nation Roundup brought to you by the DailyFaceOff.
It took them a while to get there, but the losing streak is over. Final Score: 2-1 Oilers in the shootout
The Oilers announced they’ve acquired goaltender Al Montoya for a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2018 in a tweet tonight.
There should be no need for a rah-rah speech by the head coach or one of the leaders. Every Oilers player should be well aware of the situation. The Anaheim Ducks skate into Edmonton with an opportunity to crush the spirit of the Oilers and their fans for the second time in eight months. After…
Following an 8-2 dismantling of Team Switzerland, which even Swiss Head Coach Christian Wohlwend kind of predicted before the game even started, Canada will now shift their focus to the semi-finals as they continue their hunt for a World Junior gold medal.

On this week’s Real Life Podcast, the boys talk about what the hell happened in the two weeks since our last episode, what would it take to get Erik Karlsson out of Ottawa, and wonder where the team will go from here.
The Edmonton Oilers are nine points behind Anaheim. The Ducks have the final wildcard spot, and the Oilers have one game in hand, but they simply must win this game to stay in the race. Lose and they are eleven points out with 41 games to play. Some would argue seven points is too much…
Over at TSN 1260, Darren Dreger appeared on The Nielson Show to talk Oilers, fishing for Mike Hoffman, and whatever else is going on, but the big nugget came when he spoke about a Taylor Hall trade that almost happened.
You’d like to think that Tuesday night’s 5-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings marked a new low for the 2017-18 Edmonton Oilers, but really, it’s just more of the same.
The Chaos Theory is derived from a branch of mathematics, but we do know chaotic behaviour exists in weather, climate and even traffic.
