On Monday, The Athletic released their annual NHL agent poll, surveying over 20 player representatives on a variety of hot topics. Unsurprisingly, when asked “Who will be the highest-paid player by 2028-29?”, the majority answered Connor McDavid. Out of 21 responses to that question, 13 pointed to the Edmonton Oilers’ captain. Macklin Celebrini received three…
Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
It was a three-game week for the Bakersfield Condors, and it started off strong with a 5-2 win against the Tucson Roadrunners last Wednesday. The win halted a three-game losing streak and started a mini winning streak of their own after they beat the San Diego Gulls on Friday by a score of 5-3. Unfortunately,…
On April 14th in 1992, Rob Ray of the Buffalo Sabres pummeled a 21 year old fan who, apparently acting on a bet, elected to jump into the visitors bench at Le Colisée in the dying seconds of a game against the Quebec Nordiques. Amazingly, the fan survived some 17 or 18 direct blows from the NHL's 6th all-time regular season penalty minutes leader (3,207) before police broke up the melee. Rayzor

Game 82 of the regular season has suddenly become a must-win for the Oilers. After a 2-1 shootout loss to Colorado, Edmonton can finish anywhere from first to fourth in the Pacific Division, depending on how the final few days unfold.

After falling to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday afternoon, the Oilers returned to Rogers Place for their final two regular-season games of the year.

Recap of the game.
The penultimate game has come to an end, and the Edmonton Oilers will need some help. On Monday evening, the Oilers hosted the Colorado Avalanche for their second-to-last regular-season game, falling 2-1 in a shootout.

Last season they finished with most points in the NHL. This season, not so much.
Leon Draisaitl says he’s feeling pretty good, but there still needs to be time before he returns to the Edmonton Oilers lineup. The Oilers second leading scorer spoke to the media on Monday after participating in practice on the fifth line. Draisaitl started skating early last week on his road to recovery, but didn’t give too…
When Chris Pronger was traded to the Edmonton Oilers on Aug. 3, 2005 and signed a long-term contract hours later, he was drunk and didn’t consult with his wife, Lauren, before signing the deal.

There are four days remaining in the NHL season, and the Edmonton Oilers can finish in four different playoff positions. They can win the Pacific, finish second or third, or finish fourth, which would be the second wild card spot and a date with the Colorado Avalanche in the first round. The standings are incredibly…
Trio of players dealing with injury.
This is not a post about musicians in jerseys nor will I be talking about the former boy band in any way today, but it is about the team to the left as Spain made their IIHF Women's World Championship Division-1B debut today in Puigcerdà, Spain in front of 223 fans. Spain has never played at this level of women's hockey in the country's history, so this was a historic day for the nation and the national team as they took the ice against Netherlands. No one is expecting them to win against more...

The 2024 6th rounder has joined the Moose with his season in Peterborough done.
So, stage one is complete. The Edmonton Oilers have officially clinched a playoff spot. But there are more questions than answers at this stage. What’s the status of Jason Dickinson or Max Jones, who went down while on the road trip? Or the status of Zach Hyman, who missed the three-game road trip? Is Leon…
With two games remaining, the Oilers still have everything left to play for. Edmonton will host the Presidents’ Trophy-winning Avalanche on Monday before closing out the regular season on Thursday against the last-place Canucks.
