Mikko Koskinen. We’ve loved him and we’ve hated him, but at the end of the day, he’s the Edmonton Oilers’ best chance of winning right now. Is that a good thing? Absolutely not. However, that’s a subject for another time. Our focus today is to hear the voices of Oilers Nation and to see if…
We are getting closer to the playoffs in junior hockey, with most leagues less than a month away. They got going a little earlier in the NCAA with their conference postseasons, but the big dance doesn’t start until early April. Selection for the tournament is announced this Sunday so let’s hope to see some of…
Filip Engarås is the latest prospect to sign a deal within the Edmonton Oilers organization. This afternoon, Engarås signed an amateur tryout agreement for the remainder of the 2021-22 season with the Bakersfield Condors. Additionally, he signed a two-year American Hockey League (AHL) contract beginning with the 2022-23 season. Engarås is a 22-year-old Swedish forward…
Carter Savoie is quickly becoming a fan favourite and he hasn’t put on the copper and blue jersey yet. The excitement builds from him being a local product and his production level in junior and college. Since the Oilers drafted him 100th overall in 2020, Savoie has 33 goals and 62 points in 58 games…
We are now less than two weeks away from the NHL trade deadline. The Oilers are buyers, but likely won’t do anything crazy. In terms of prospects, don’t expect to see any of the Oilers’ top promising talents get moved. Unless Ken Holland decides to get that top goaltender, we all want, but that’s an…
The National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) announced its all-conference teams earlier today and Edmonton Oilers’ prospect Carter Savoie was one of the names included on the list. After earning All-Rookie honours last season, Carter Savoie added another accolade to his ever-growing resume after being named the Second-Team All-NCHC. Edmonton selected Savoie 100th overall in the…
Today’s report is on the news that broke on Wednesday centred around the Bakersfield Condors. Before you break into that, Tyler Tullio and Matvey Petrov continue to stay in form. Tullio had three goals and four points in as many games, while Petrov had two goals and five points in five games. Carter Savoie grabbed…
I’ll waste no idea and answer the question you all want answering. How’s Stuart Skinner doing? Not bad. Now, somebody call Mr Holland and let him know before Mike Smith lets in four goals in the opening five minutes, again. The Edmonton Oilers Best Goaltender Since getting sent down after recording a shutout in the…
A new era began in Oilers Nation last week with the news breaking that Dave Tippett out as the Head Coach of Edmonton. With that, Jay Woodcroft earned a promotion, filling in the void left by Tippett on an interim basis. With Woodcroft in Edmonton, Colin Chaulk is the new Head Coach of the Bakersfield…
Well, it finally happened. Ken Holland pulled the plug on Dave Tippett’s coaching status with the Edmonton Oilers and replaced him with Jay Woodcroft, the Head Coach of the Bakersfield Condors. Woodcroft is someone many Oilers fans believe in, and rightfully so. Eight members of the current Oilers team have played under Woodcroft in Bakersfield,…
The Oilers’ top prospect had a quiet week, however, a couple of European talents shined instead. The Condors had a good end to January with three straight wins over the Tucson Roadrunners. They now have a 16-9-7 record and sit 4th in the division. In one of those wins, a certain somebody scored their first…
It’s a quiet week in the Oilers prospect world. Matvey Petrov, Tyler Tullio, and Carter Savoie had zero points between the three, which hasn’t happened all year. And no other prospect outside of Bakersfield scored more than two points. However, there was a significant return to the ice for arguably the Oilers best prospect, so…
