GDB 31.0: An Oilers Win Makes it a Very Successful Homestand (7 PM, SNW)
A victory tonight would make this five-game homestand a success for the Edmonton Oilers. They’d be 3-1-1 with a .600 winning percentage and .700 points percentage on this homestand.

Scenes From Morning Skate: Oilers can’t let another opponent on second-half of back-to-back win
The Edmonton Oilers host the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night. The same Red Wings who are coming off a 4-3 win in Calgary.

Oilers’ Frederic to play Thursday against Red Wings after getting stitches
It’s been a rough month to be Trent Frederic’s face. First, he got the rough end of Mathieu Oliver’s fists during a Nov. 10th fight when Frederic took on pound-for-pound toughest player in the league, getting a black eye in the process. Then, during Wednesday’s practice ahead of Thursday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings,…

This Sport Is A Complete Joke
In no way am I as talented as Richard Riehle in any way, shape, or form due to his portrayal of character Tom Smykowski in the 1999 film Office Space , but I feel like Tom Smykowski right now, though, as I read through the news reports that Dillon Dube, recently acquitted of sexual assault, has signed a PTO contract with the Springfield Thunderbirds under the direction of the St. Louis Blues. Let's drop the facade of the NHL having any moral standing of any kind because the Blues are the lates...

A physical defenceman to shore up the blue line and a middle-six forward might be at the top of the Edmonton Oilers’ shopping list.

The Edmonton Oilers’ alternate jersey has been the talk of the town in recent times.
