The Oilers have had a disappointing last few days, dropping back-to-back games against the Canucks and Blues, two teams you’d expect them to beat. I wouldn’t say Edmonton was thoroughly outplayed in either game but a big part of both losses was poor special teams.
This is my first Christmas writing for the Nation and after getting my hands on a couple of Nation hoodies I’m really feeling like part of the family! I sat down with my own family and wrote letters to Santa last week, this week I’m going to sit down and write some letters to Santa…

With the Canucks and Blues lined up on the schedule, it looked like the Oilers had four easy points ahead of them. But welcome to the NHL — there’s no such thing as an easy win. Even against the worst teams in the league, you need to show up to earn two points.
For all the complaining in recent days about not getting a square deal from the officials, the real problem for the Edmonton Oilers in back-to-back losses to the Vancouver Canucks and the St. Louis Blues has been how ineffective their special teams have been.
Barring some ridiculous cold streak, the Oilers will head into 2019 in the thick of the playoff race. January is usually when we really see trade talks start to heat up and right now, there is every reason to believe that this team will be ‘buyers’ in the time leading up to the NHL Trade…
Gross. Final Score: 4-1 Blues
The Oilers take on the Blues tonight and Cooom and I are back with another One Minute Men episode!

My mother is one of the most well-read people I’ve ever met. She has read over 10,000 books and earlier this year, while renovating her living room, she installed a bookcase across an entire wall. It is filled with books of various genres. It’s almost like having a library in your own home. (She actually…
