The tough part of the road trip is over for the Oilers. They went head-to-head with the three best teams in the Eastern Conference and while they managed to walk away with only one win, I think most Oilers fans are okay with that considering the quality of their opponents and the way that the…
The Oilers picked up a big win in Sunrise, Florida on Saturday. The way they got the win was surprising as they didn’t look nearly as good as they did against the Lightning earlier in the week and basically just got bailed out by an amazing performance from Mikko Koskinen, who stopped 44 of the…
The Oilers’ monster road trip continues this morning with a stop in Florida to take on the Panthers. Edmonton played really well on Wednesday in a losing effort to the Lightning and that’s where we started today on the Sherwood Ford GIANT Pre Game Show. Caroline and I broke down what went wrong in that…
The Edmonton Oilers are in danger of not qualifying for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Forget about being a legitimate Stanley Cup contender, in year seven of the Connor McDavid era, this team is still struggling to just make it to the postseason I still think they’ll get in and I’m fairly confident in that. They’ve…
If you haven’t heard, goaltending is a hot-button issue in Edmonton right and it became an even bigger story following Mike Smith’s performance against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Oilers outplayed one of the best teams in the NHL, scored three goals against one of the best goalies in the world, and it still wasn’t…
We are officially less than a month from the NHL trade deadline, which puts a big smile on my face. These next few weeks will be full of rumours and trade talk. I love it. I cannot get enough of this kind of stuff. This week, there were a few big stories to dig into.
Tonight, the Oilers begin arguably their toughest road trip of the season with a stop in Tampa Bay to take on the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champion Lightning. Over the next five days, the Oilers will play visit the three best teams in the Eastern Conference with stops in Carolina and Florida on the weekend….
We have spent a lot of time talking about which goaltenders the Oilers could potentially acquire ahead of the NHL’s Trade Deadline on March 21st. Unlike past years, there actually seems to be a handful of options on the market. Frank Seravalli has five names listed on his Trade Targets article over at Daily Faceoff…
The Oilers are back on home ice tonight after taking a quick trip out to Winnipeg. The winning streak is now at five games for the team but tonight’s matchup is without a doubt the most difficult they’ve had since the Jay Woodcroft era began. The Minnesota Wild are 30-13-3 this season and while they…
The vibes were good today on the show because not only were we both back in the studio for the first time in what feels like FOREVER, but, the Oilers have won three in a row and are still undefeated in the Jay Woodcroft era. We knew this week would be big for the team…
The Oilers are off to a fire start under their new head coach Jay Woodcroft and it’s coming at a very important time for them. Tonight is a big game against the Anaheim Ducks and if they are able to extend the winning streak to four games, then they’ll be just a few points back…
A few weeks ago, I asked fans to submit realistic trade proposals involving the Oilers that they would like to see happen. I rounded up some of my favourites of the bunch, whether I thought they were realistic or just flat out entertaining, and gave my take on them in a video over on our…
