Scenes From Morning Skate: What should Oilers fans make of Tampa Bay?
The Edmonton Oilers face the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night at Benchmark International Arena, and nobody really knows what to make of either team. Tampa’s made roster moves in the past couple of days, calling up players from AHL Syracuse to deal with injuries. But let’s be honest—Edmonton’s been shuffling their lineup constantly, too….
Missing the playoffs wasn’t the end of the world for the 2016-17 Lightning
There are plenty of lessons the Edmonton Oilers can take from Thursday’s opponent, the Tampa Bay Lightning, because their path from frustration to dominance is a blueprint that should hit close to home. Like most expansion teams, the Lightning spent years stumbling around the basement before finding their footing. By the mid-2000s, they had built…
Troy Stecher ‘just left the fire’ in Edmonton after waiver claim by Leafs
Apparently, the transition from the Edmonton Oilers to the Toronto Maple Leafs is a seamless one for Troy Stecher. Some players can’t handle the stress of playing in the Toronto market, particularly as they’re off to one of their slowest starts in a decade. But for Stecher, it’s just another day, especially after getting out…
Oilers need to make a change in net before the season goes down the drain
The Edmonton Oilers need to acquire a netminder before it’s too late. This is something that most people are aware of, but over the past few seasons, I have been an ardent supporter of Stuart Skinner. Through the quarter mark of the 2025-26 season, Skinner’s flaws have been exposed even more than in the past…
Pre-Scout: Lightning have found their stride after slow start
After a poor start, the Tampa Bay Lightning have returned to their usual selves. Taking care of a wounded New Jersey Devils team on Tuesday, the Bolts have won nine of their last twelve hockey games. That places them flirting with a playoff spot again, a 10-7-2 record, and back to where one would expect. …
The Hockey Show - Episode 687
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back in the studio tonight with a number of guests joining us to talk about a sport that only seems to get mentioned when the Olympics roll around every four years. Despite the successes of the national and provincial teams, sledge hockey or parahockey never quite gets the spotlight that stand-up hockey does, so our hosts thought it was time to get everyone up to speed about what's happening in Manitoba a...
Another bad start for Edmonton, Oilers apathy, and what is happening with Brett Kulak?
After whatever the hell that was in Buffalo on Monday, the Oilers hit the ice in Washington on Wednesday, hoping to look like a professional hockey team again. Getting pumped 5-1 by a Sabres squad missing half its forwards isn’t exactly a confidence booster, so I looked at last night’s matchup against the Capitals as…
The Day After 22.0: Too little too late for Oilers as another comeback attempt falls short
Wednesday was another night much like so many have been this season for the Edmonton Oilers. They got down early, watching the Washington Capitals score twice in the first six minutes of the game, and all the Oilers could do was chase. And much like other nights throughout this season, the Oilers found a way…

This Week in College Hockey: Nov. 20, 2025
There’s plenty happening around the Big Ten these days, even beyond the ice. The league is deep into discussions with a private-equity group on the formation of a new venture known as “Big Ten Enterprises,” an umbrella organization that would consolidate the conference’s media rights, sponsorship agreements, and other centralized assets...

Vermont Aims For Next Phase of Rebuild
Vermont has not made the NCAA Tournament since 2014 and has not had a winning season since 2016-17. In his third season as head coach, Steve Wiedler is trying to get the program back to that level, step-by-step...
Better Lait Than Never: More Oilers struggles, injuries, and a sense that the sky is falling
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. On today’s podcast, I talked about the Oilers’ offensive struggles, Darnell Nurse rumours, more injuries, and much more. Just when you think the Edmonton Oilers…
Oilers fall to .500 as Capitals run up the score: Recap, Highlights, and Reaction
That was the most fun Edmonton Oilers game of the season, and arguably their best despite the loss. On Wednesday evening, the Oilers played their fifth of seven consecutive games on the road, falling 7-4 to the Washington Capitals to bring their season record to 9-9-4. Let’s take a look at what went on in…

All 29 times the Leafs have traded away a first rounder, ranked from best to worst
I love trades and I love rankings, and I’m a Maple Leafs fan so it goes without saying that I love misery. For today’s post, I figured I’d combine all of those things into one piece, with a ranking of all the times that the Maple Leafs have traded away a first-round pick. After all, it feels like a timely topic right about now. After some digging, I found there have been 29 separate trades in Leafs history in which they’ve traded away a total of 31 first-round picks, so I did what any normal p...
The Oilers can fix their penalty kill with this one simple trick
To sit here and say the penalty kill has been a major issue for the Edmonton Oilers would be a bit disingenuous. They’ve operated at an 81.5 percent clip following Monday’s loss to the Buffalo Sabres, the 13th-ranked penalty kill. At home, they’ve one of the best on the kill, at a 90.5 percent clip…

WWYDW: Should the Oilers call somebody up from the AHL?
The Oilers are having a bad time right now. Their consistently inconsistent run of late is beyond frustrating, and the analytics suggest it isn’t bad luck — that this is actually not a good hockey team. Last week, we waxed on about our dream goalies and a week later, we don’t have any action on…
Scenes From Morning Skate: Oilers adjust lines as injuries test depth
The Edmonton Oilers head into Washington on Wednesday night with a lineup that looks less like strategic planning and more like making the best of what’s available. Injuries have forced Kris Knoblauch’s hand, pushing him to experiment with combinations that, under normal circumstances, might never see the ice together. First, look at the second line:…
GDB 22.0: Where has Edmonton’s defensive game gone? (5:00 PM MT, SN)
After two seasons of being one of the top defensive teams in the NHL, the Edmonton Oilers find themselves in the bottom third of the league at the one-quarter mark of the season. It is a problem, and the players and coaches need to fix it. Quickly. The challenge is that there isn’t just one…
Winnipeg Jets Practice Report
The team turns their attention to the Hurricanes who they will face on Friday.
Former Oilers assistant coach Paul Coffey reportedly ‘butted heads’ with other members of coaching staff
When the Edmonton Oilers opened the 2025-26 season a little over one month ago, the primary point of concern was whether the team’s goaltending duo could be good enough to get them over the hump. Now sitting with a mediocre 9-8-4 record at the quarter-mark of the campaign, that concern has ballooned from run-of-the-mill goaltending…
Oilers lose Noah Philp and Curtis Lazar for remainder of road trip with upper-body injuries
The Edmonton Oilers will be without forwards Noah Philp and Curtis Lazar for the remainder of their seven-game road trip, head coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed after the team’s morning skate in Washington. Needless to say, the injuries are starting to pile up around here. According to EdmontonOilers Head Coach Kris Knoblauch both Noah Philp and…
