We are closing in on the middle of March and the Oilers hosted the Golden Knights with a chance to move into first place in the Pacific. Thanks to an amazing performance from Mikko Koskinen the Oilers managed to pick up a point and increase their cushion in the race for second place in the…
Ladies and gentlemen, another round of applause for Ken Holland, please. One of the best off-season bets for Holland has paid off and now Josh Archibald has two more years to work his ass off with the Oilers here in Edmonton.
After tonight’s game against Winnipeg, the Oilers have 17 games remaining on their schedule, 16 of those will take place in March before wrapping up against the Flames on April 4th.
It’s late February and the Oilers are battling for first place in the Pacific Division. If you would have told me that at the beginning of the season, I’d already deem this year a success. With that being said it’s still frustrating to see the team get off to a good start but let things…
Ken Holland has yet to pull the trigger on any deadline deals but that doesn’t mean he’s not trying. I wrote earlier in the month how Blake Coleman and a few other players on the Devils could be a fit. According to Sportnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the Oilers may have been willing to part with a…
Ken Holland has not hesitated to take care of his off-season to-do list in season with the signings of Darnell Nurse, Zack Kassian, Caleb Jones and most recently Joakim Nygard. Over the past few weeks, Holland has added $10,525,000 to the team’s cap for the 2020-2021 campaign.
As if we didn’t have enough to talk about Tuesday, the Oilers wrapped up a news-filled day by hosting the Chicago Blackhawks. Where do I even begin?
The Edmonton Oilers are in the market for a top-six winger or a third line centre, possibly both, but Penguins Jim Rutherford didn’t do Ken Holland any favours on Monday night.
Not very often do much anticipated games live up to the hype but the Battle of Alberta at Rogers Place on Wednesday certainly did. There is no shortage of story lines to talk about following the Oilers 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.
I started working in Edmonton in July of 2009 and it didn’t take long for me to get a taste of what the Battle of Alberta was all about. Let’s flash back to the beginning of the ’09 season: the Oilers faced the Flames on October 3rd and again six days later on the 9th,…
All-Star weekend has come and gone, a double dose of the Battle of Alberta is just around the corner, what a way to get back in the swing of things.
The race in the Western Conference is ridiculously tight right now and with the trade deadline now just over a month away I’m very interested to see which team blinks first. If I was a betting man, I’d expect the Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets to be the most active of the four Canadian clubs…
