McDavid moves into second place in Oilers all-time even-strength scoring ranks
Another notch on the belt for one of the best players in the world. On Thursday night, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid notched the 725th even-strength point of his already decorated NHL career. The point moved him solely into second place all-time in even-strength points in franchise history, surpassing Hockey Hall of Famer Jari Kurri….
Oilers slept through first 40 minutes, Sabres took advantage, and expecting vs. playing to win
The Edmonton Oilers found themselves on a bit of a run, and there was no better opportunity to extend their winning streak to three games than a visit by the awful Buffalo Sabres in the second half of a back-to-back. Of course, that’s what sets up the trap. This should be a layup. A slam…

Dartmouth's Double Play
If you had asked the Dartmouth coaching staff at the beginning of the season, it probably would have wanted one goalie taking all the time in the net by now. But considering the Big Green are still undefeated after 10 games, this decision will probably have to wait a while longer...

A day late and a dollar short as Oilers third period comeback against Sabres fails: Recap, Highlights, and Reaction

Today In NHL History - Hextall's First Goal
On December 8th in 1987, Philadelphia Flyers netminder Ron Hextall fired a puck the length of the ice into an empty Boston Bruins net becoming the first goalie to score a goal in a NHL game. Though New York Islanders backstop Billy Smith had been credited with a goal eight years earlier, it was Colorado Rockies defenceman Rob Ramage who in fact last touched the puck. Thus, Hextall was the

Sabres winger Alex Tuch is a perfect trade target for the Oilers
Three things are certain in life: death, taxes, and the Buffalo Sabres being in the league’s basement. During the late 1990s to late 2000s, the Sabres were a perennial contender, making the Stanley Cup Finals once and making numerous appearances in the Eastern Conference Finals, with their last appearance in the third round coming in…

GDB 30.0: Oilers Can Add to the Sabres’ 15-year Pain (7 PM, SNW)
The last time the Buffalo Sabres made the NHL playoffs, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was playing with the Red Deer Rebels in the Western Hockey League and would be drafted first overall two months later. The year was 2011. There isn’t a fan base in the salary cap era that relates more to the current struggles of…
Scenes From Morning Skate: Oilers get second shot at Sabres
Here’s the thing about the Buffalo Sabres: they’re bad. Like, historically bad. They’ve missed the playoffs for 14 consecutive seasons, which is the longest drought in NHL history. They finished the 2024-25 season with a 36-39-7 record. They spent most of December in 31st place overall, tied with the Chicago Blackhawks at 26 points. This…
Pre-Scout: Sabres arrive in Edmonton seared after getting burnt by Flames
The Buffalo Sabres had two days off on their road trip after Friday’s loss to the Winnipeg Jets 4-1, allowing them to catch some of the cold western Canadian air before playing four road games this week. They were snakebit 5-on-5, creating a myriad of 22 high danger chances, according to Natural Stat Trick, but…

Far Away From Ten
The announcement was made on November 26, but I've been holding off on saying anything simply due to there being a lack of details on what's going to happen and when it will happen. However, the news is true: Simon Fraser University is rejoining U SPORTS and Canada West after spending the last fifteen years competing in the Division II level of the NCAA. There's a lot to be excited about when it comes to this news as the school will now review its options while reorganizing its athletics depar...
