Big Signing Goes Down

Oilers fans are hoping this isn't going to be a common occurrence, but goaltender Frederik Andersen will start the season on the shelf after being injured during an off-season training session. He'll be joined by defenceman Alec Regula and forwards Mattias Janmark and Matt Savoie as players who miss training camp with injuries, but that one-year, $2.8-million contract that Andersen signed to stabilize Edmonton's goaltending will be tested in October as the Oilers are forced to start the season...

The Hockey Show - Episode 727

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, takes over the UMFM studio space once again tonight to talk all things puck. Usually, we have a main story which we want to focus on to explain the nuances that fans should know, but tonight's going to be just a smorgasbord of smaller stories that will fill the hour. There will be discussions on each, but there isn't one main topic that will eat up a half-hour of show time. If you're ready for lots of little...

WWYDW: How should the Oilers handle playing time for their three goalies?

Welcome, Internet friends, to What Would You Do Wednesday, the feature where I throw an Oilers question at you fine folks and see what you can come up with for a solution. This week, I want to talk about the goalie love triangle we’ve got going on because with Tristan Jarry, Frederik Andersen, and Devon…

The Return Of Double-Zeroes!

For those that are unaware, there are specific numbers that cannot be worn in the NHL and on specific teams. Most of these are retired numbers that teams no longer keep in circulation, but specific numbers like #99 are retired league-wide so no one can wear that number again. There are two numbers that the NHL demanded be removed from circulation due to their ability to mess with the NHL's early statistical programs, and those numbers are #0, last worn by Neil Sheehy, and #00, last worn by Mar...

MSG In Dublin?

Dubbed "The World's Most Famous Arena", there aren't many shows nor events that pass up the opportunity to work in Madison Square Garden. Located in Manhatten, "the Garden" is officially the second-busiest music arena in the world in terms of ticket sales, the oldest arena to host an NBA team, and the oldest arena to host an NHL team. There have been three other Madison Square Garden that have been demolished since the original opened in 1879, but the current building standing between Seventh ...

Australia's Playoffs Are Set

With the regular season coming to a close in the "land down under", six teams would know who was playing whom next week in the AIHL Playoffs. They're competing for the trophy to the left - the Goodall Cup - which was most recently won in 2025 by the Melbourne Ice. There were interesting games played this weekend with playoff spots on the line, and the defending champions were one of those teams. With every team approaching its 30th game of the season, let's take a look at who qualified to play...

The wrong Oiler won the 1990 Conn Smythe

Esa Tikkanen should have won the 1990 Conn Smythe trophy. Did Bill Ranford play well during the Oilers’ last successful run to the Cup? Yes, yes, he did. Was the best playoff MVP awarded the trophy? I don’t think so. Ranford was good, but his performance wasn’t on par with Patrick Roy in 1993 or…
