The Day After 55.0: Oilers fend off up-and-coming Sharks to end winning-streak curse
The tenth time’s the charm. With a 4-3 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, the Edmonton Oilers finally put together their first three-game winning streak of the 2025-26 season. They had won back-to-back games nine times earlier this year, only to watch each potential heater stall in the third game. For a…
I'm looking for your submissions to Nickname Court
As we know, modern NHL nicknames are terrible, with most of them either just being a player's name with an -er or -y ending tacked on, or something based on player initials that features zero creativity.

We're be looking for either of two kinds of submissions: - Brand new nicknames that you came up with, or that are perco...

It’s wild to think that we’re in late January and still in the hunt for the Oilers’ first three-game win streak of the season. I don’t know why they haven’t been able to do it, but it’s a story that came up once again ahead of Thursday’s matchup with the San Jose Sharks. This was…

Pagnotta: Maple Leafs’ Bobby McMann a ‘prime target’ for Oilers
We are deep into silly season, so names are being thrown around among NHL fan bases like they’re going out of fashion.
