So last night we were sitting around watching the World Cup of Hockey match on the TV waiting for the NHL season to begin. Whether or not the tournament is a real thing or a brilliant negotiating tactic against the Olympics remains to be seen. What does not remain to be seen is the impact of Connor…
It was announced a few days back that the Octane Dance Team will not be riding in the back of the pickup truck with the Gretzky statue as the team moves to Rogers Place. This was met with shouts of “good riddance!” by some and continued cheerleader shaming by others. I for one liked the Octane, saw great value in…
After trade deadline came and went I found myself with a lot of time on my hands. No massive trades to wrap my brain around, no giant clean up of my Eberle mechandise collection to box up for all eternity. No arranging for a fire sale of YakCity NationGear (side note: Yak City gear on sale…
Oh snap! Coach McLellan went off last night in his post game press conference. If you haven’t already watched the highlights and jumped up and down clapping your hands with glee, it can be found above. I was double excited because it was OilersNation’s own hero Jason Gregor asking the questions that McLellan was smashing out…

A model of consistency. A team studied by Coaches for a generation to come for “how to build a winning franchise.” So when it became…

Or the time before that. Or that other time. Or the time before that.
I have been in love with Jordan Leslie Eberle since before time began. In fact I originally learned of him in a vision I had three previous lives before this current incarnation of my present body.
Before I kick off the 2015-16 Goat Witch hunt and explain it to anyone unfamiliar with what is going on here – there is a disclaimer that should be made. I have half a mind to nominate Peter Chiarelli as my 2015-16 goat.
Like many other Canadians yesterday I was following the epic story of SpiderMable as she made the rounds of the internets, social media and the antiquated “tee-vee”. If ever there was a story to warm the heart as temperatures begin to dip, this was it. An already ultra proud Edmontonian, this entire operation made my…
The 2015-16 Oilers season is on the horizon and coming towards us with breakneck speed. Excitement is beginning to build in some camps, indifference reigns supreme in others. In other camps still, many former Oilers fans remain faithful to their new past times discovered since the Oilers developed an enchanting habit of sucking these past eight years….
