The Least Amount Of Risk

The New York Islanders have an interesting franchise history, but their fans have always been partial to the original logo which the team wore in establishing its dynasty from 1979-1983. We know they rallied hard against the Fisherman logo in the 1990s before it was replaced with the original logo, and we've seen other logos land with thuds as Islanders fans made it clear as to which logo they prefer. When the third jersey contest was announced for the 2027-28 season, every option was back in ...

We're Gonna Need A Discount Rack

As a guy who has a fairly robust hockey jersey collection, I can tell you that there are many jerseys I never would have in my collection simply because they don't have that certain quality that makes people love them or hate them. For example, the Justin Bieber-designed Toronto Maple Leafs jersey would not be in my collection because it's literally forgettable. Compared to jerseys like the Islanders' Fisherman and the Oilers' Todd McFarlane alternates, the Bieber jerseys simply aren't that gr...

The Hockey Show - Episode 726

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back in the confines of the UMFM studios for another show this evening, but we won't be joined by Montreal Victoire defender Kati Tabin as she's far too busy to make an appearance. If you're attending her camp, have a great time, but we'll focus on some bigger stories tonight as the world of hockey has some good, some not-so-good, and some absolute treachery happening in it over the last week. There's a p...

There are snubs, and then there’s The Athletic’s snub of Matt Savoie

If I could name this portion of the season, it would be “List Season.” The top this and thats are the main diet of hockey discussion online in late August. If forced, I may do my own list of the top lists.  In saying that, here’s another list to quibble about, an extension of The…

Connor McDavid shows elite skating ability in viral training clip

The hockey-deprived are scrounging social media, watching old highlights, reading lists, and arguing with them twice, trying to find something to feed their fix. For those who follow Gary Roberts Performance on Instagram, well, you got a six-second snippet of Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid doing Connor McDavid things on Wednesday. They released a montage…

Reading The Manual

For the last couple of weeks, I've been spending a lot of time reading about, researching, and narrowing down my options for a new HBIC mobile, and my choice of the vehicle you see to the left is a good one! Jokes aside, I didn't buy that car, but I did take possession of a new vehicle today so anyone who knew my old vehicle will likely need to get used to this new one parked in my driveway. Being that I like to know everything about expensive purchases I make, I'm going to spend the evening r...

Doing It Right In Indiana

Imagine it's 1952 and you're heading to the local arena to catch the new professional team in action. If you're a man, you're wearing your best fedora, a snazzy suit and overcoat, and you're looking forward to the spectacle of hockey as you find your seats behind the chicken wire protecting the fans. Women would have been dressed in long dresses with perhaps a fur coat and a scarf to stay warm as the action unfolded on the ice in front of them. Hockey looked different back in 1950 when the ECH...

Former Oilers prospect Matvei Petrov signs two-year KHL deal

Matvei Petrov will be sticking around in Russia. The former Edmonton Oilers prospect originally signed a professional tryout with Spartak Moscow of the KHL in late July. That PTO has translated to a two-year contract for the 23-year-old, according to multiple sources. He had been offered a qualifying offer by the Oilers at the start…

Remembering a time your team got smoked by a some kid making his NHL debut

If there’s one thing every NHL fan agrees on, it’s that anyone who bangs on the glass during play should go to jail. But if there’s a second thing, it’s that our favorite team is always getting lit up by some random rookie playing his first career game. You know the drill. You settle in to watch a game, only to notice a player on the other team doing the old solo lap initiation. Immediately, you get that sinking feeling. Players making their debuts always seem to have magic powers that turn th...

Should the Oilers dip their toes into the PTO market?

There was a time, back when I was producing The Lowdown with Lowetide on TSN 1260, when I would shout “PTO everybody!” My thinking at the time was that the Edmonton Oilers depth was almost always abysmal, and if there was a somewhat decent NHLer out there, why wouldn’t you bring them into camp for…

From Blue Lines To Foul Lines

I have spent more than enough time at a ballpark this season to know that baseball can be a funny game. Whether it be hot streaks, cold streaks, wild pitches, or diving catches, baseball, like hockey, is a game of momentum. If one has it, usually good things happen while those that don't are often looking for a momentum change. Lots of hockey players play baseball in the summer as there are several skills that cross-over between the two sports, and we've seen good hockey players like Tom Glavi...

Who should be the Edmonton Oilers’ 6th defenceman?

The Edmonton Oilers will enter the 2026-27 season with five defencemen firmly locked into opening‑night roles: Evan Bouchard, Mattias Ekholm, Connor Murphy, Jake Walman, and Ryan Shea. That leaves one spot on the blue line still up for grabs, assuming the team sticks with the traditional 12F/6D setup. Three players are expected to battle for…
