Monday Scramble: The Oilers need to decide on a goalie for forward flexibility
How long can Stan Bowman continue the three-goalie charade while forwards are required? That’s the biggest question coming out of the week that was in Oilersnation, a week that all things considered, fared better than I expected (my lowly prediction was 2-2-1 after all). Connor Ingram has shattered any doubt in his ability to…

Monday Musings: Oilers Shutouts, Hyman and RNH’s Impacts, and some Trade Talk

Curtis Lazar has earned an everyday role for the Oilers
This summer, the Edmonton Oilers parted ways with several veteran bottom-six forwards and acquired younger replacements. Andrew Mangiapane and Jack Roslovic carried the most name value out of the new additions, and David Tomášek provided plenty of intrigue coming off a big year in Sweden. A player who might’ve gone under the radar amongst all…
The Day After 50.0: Oilers dominant in both games of weekend back-to-back
For the ninth time this season, the Edmonton Oilers are on a two-game winning streak.

NHL weekend rankings: On the Bruins, the Flyers, and a sternly worded letter

TBC: We Want Fish Sticks
If you've followed this blog for any length of time, you likely know that I'm a fan of the infamous New York Islanders' Fisherman jersey. That's not to say that I'm not fan of the traditional Islanders jersey nor am I trying to compare the two in terms of which one is better, but I always thought the Islanders were ahead of their time when the Fisherman debuted. The fact that the jerseys lasted for just two seasons after Islanders fans demanded the team go back to the original logo didn't get ...
