GDB 44.0: The Winnipeg Jets’ Ugly Reality and Oilers Can Add More Pain (6 PM, SNW)
Sports is, and always will be, the best “reality TV” show. Games can be unpredictable, frustrating, riveting, boring or pulsating depending on the day or the opponent. Some outcomes are expected, but upsets happen regularly, and performances can vary from electric to horrific, and sometimes those occur in the same game. The season of the…

Scenes From Morning Skate: Oilers look to extend Jets misery, but can’t take them lightly
The Edmonton Oilers play the Winnipeg Jets Thursday night, and look, the Oilers haven’t exactly been rolling — they still haven’t strung together three consecutive wins — but at least they’re not in freefall like their opponents. The Jets are riding a 10-game losing streak and looking to avoid making it 11 straight. Perspective, folks….
NHL trade rumours: Oilers may need to take money back in Mangiapane deal and a possible mini-deadline before Olympic break
“The talks continue.” That’s what David Pagnotta told us on Oilersnation Everyday on January 7th, regarding the future of Edmonton Oilers Andrew Mangiapane. Kris Knoblauch has opted to healthy scratch him for the Winnipeg Jets game on December 29th, and in three of the Oilers’ last four games, including tonight’s game against the Jets. His…

Billionaire Beggars
It's hard for me to look at the NHL and believe that they care about the game. Some people who work for the NHL likely have good intentions when it comes to making the game better and holding onto some of its traditions, but we know of one road that was paved with good intentions. I say that with all the cynicism I can muster because it seems like the NHL is going to allow Fanatics to dress its players in another league-wide jersey promotion that has all the hallmarks of a cash grab. As Jason ...

It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all.

The Day After 43.0: Kapanen shines in first game back in Oilers lineup
It hasn’t been an easy first half of the season for Kasperi Kapanen. He had played in just six games before injuring his knee on October 19th against the Detroit Red Wings, and when he was nearing a return in November, he suffered a setback in practice. He left the ice in frustration, taking it…
Oilers Thoughts: Knoblauch spot-on with Kapanen, McDavid’s double-digit shots, Hutson update, Ingram bounce back, and the new third line
The definition of frustration is the feeling of being upset or annoyed, especially when you can’t change or achieve something — a feeling many fans in Oil Country know all too well with Kris Knoblauch’s constant line shuffling as of late. But Tuesday’s game against the Nashville Predators, that frustration turned to joy, as the…

The Howard, Roslovic, and Savoie line deserves an opportunity to be the Oilers’ full-time third line
The Edmonton Oilers may have figured out their third line. On Tuesday evening, Adam Henrique went down with an injury, playing just two shifts.
