Pre-Scout: Oilers can capitalize on bruised Dallas Stars lineup
The Dallas Stars will be without their top weapon — both offensively and physically — during their first visit to Edmonton since last season’s Western Conference Final. That was Game 4 of a quick work series for the Oilers, of course, and the Stars laid their revenge on Edmonton back on Nov. 4 in a…

Team of the Week: Wisconsin
Wisconsin didn't come into this season with the same kind of flashy, blue-chip (and in some cases nowadays, expensive) players that go high on draft boards. Instead, it chose to attempt a turnaround from last year's disappointing 13-win season the more traditional way — straightforward recruiting. When the doors opened to major junior players, coach Mike Hastings and his staff stuck with the players...
Maine D Langlois Released From Hospital

Six Nights Of Orange
If there's one thing you should know while reading this blog, it's that I, Teebz, am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV. I'm not even qualified to give anyone tap water when they're thirsty, but I do know that the medical professionals across North America save a lot of lives each and every day with their talents and knowledge. What might get lost in the shuffle is that there are a lot of good organizations raising funds for research and assistance for a number of maladies and diseases that ...
Today In NHL History - Ryan O'Byrne's Own Goal
On November 24th in 2008, Montreal Canadiens blueliner Ryan O'Byrne played the puck into his own net during a delayed penalty, tying up the game for the New York Islanders with five minutes remaining in the third period. O'Byrne's own goal was credited to Islanders captain Bill Guerin, who subsequently sealed the 4-3 win with his third round shootout score as the Habs faithful taunted a dejected
Top 100 Oilers: No. 61 — Ken Linseman
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Ken Linseman comes in at No. 61 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 41 on Brownlee’s original list. Through the some 130 years of competition for the Stanley Cup, there’s…
Monday Musings: Oilers show signs of life, good and bad starts, and more
The Edmonton Oilers survived — barely — their toughest stretch of the season. They played 24 games in 46 days with 16 of them on the road, and they accumulated 25 points. That’s not great, not even very good, but with only one game in the next five days, the team will be able to…

Stars’ Mikko Rantanen to serve one-game suspension during Tuesday game against Oilers
When the Dallas Stars take to the ice in Edmonton for Tuesday’s game against the Oilers, they’ll do so without star forward Mikko Rantanen. The high-flying winger, twice traded last year before landing in the Big D last March, was handed an automatic one-game suspension by the league after being ejected from his second game…
Vasily Podkolzin’s emerging leadership with Oilers and a chat with his skills coach Ned Lukacevic
In a season where consistency has been hard to come by for the Edmonton Oilers, Vasily Podkolzin’s steady play has been one of the few things they can rely on. Spend a few minutes chatting with Oilers fans around the city, and you’ll hear plenty of praise for ‘Podz’ and his work ethic. Edmonton, being…
Five positive takeaways from the Oilers’ gruelling road trip
The Edmonton Oilers are finally out of their gauntlet of a road trip, going 3-3-1 in seven games, which, all things considered, isn’t bad given just how tough the trip was. But alas, it’s over. The Oilers battled their way through that two-week Eastern trip and now get to play six of their next seven…

If you’re American, this is Thanksgiving week. There’s a good chance that you’re making plans to see friends and family. You might be travelling, in which case we wish you the best of luck with all that. By Thursday, if all goes well, you’ll have a belly full of turkey and a full slate of NFL games to doze to.

Trading down at the 2021 NHL Draft has been a disaster for the Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers often tend to shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to trades. Look no further than the Griffin Reinhart trade at the 2015 NHL Draft. The Oilers sent the 16th and 33rd overall picks to the New York Islanders for a young defender struggling in the American Hockey League. At the…
Today In NHL History - Pettersson Hit by Candy
On November 23rd in 2022, Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson was hit in the back by a bag of candy thrown by a frustrated Colorado Avalanche fan in the final minute of regulation time with their team shorthanded and trailing by a goal.While the type of candy remains a mystery, early guesses leaned towards gummy bears, sours or jelly beans. Regardless, tossing anything on
Today In NHL History - Hughes Stick Shoves Miller
On November 23rd in 2019, Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes used his stick to shove teammate JT Miller in the backside, propelling him to catch Washington Capitals forward TJ Oshie on a breakaway with seconds remaining in overtime. The nudge allowed Miller to close the gap on Oshie, lifting his stick to prevent a shot on net. It also afforded JT a karmic moment, as it was TJ who stripped
Today In NHL History - Takko Bell Trade
On November 22nd in 1990, the Minnesota North Stars traded goaltender Kari Takko to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenseman Bruce Bell. The swap would forever be known as the Takko Bell trade, playing off the famous California-born fast food chain Taco Bell founded by Glen Bell in 1962. Bruce Bell never skated with the North Stars, playing his remaining eight seasons in the
Which NHL teams are primed to regress to the mean?
We are about 30 percent into the 2025-26 NHL regular season. Thus far, this season has offered numerous surprises, with various teams performing above and below expectations. However, it is crucial to note that hockey is a sport that can often be significantly impacted by luck and variance, particularly in smaller sample sizes. There are…
The Rundown - Week 8
Eight teams were back in action across western Canada this weekend as the Canada West women's hockey schedule saw games played in three of the four provinces. Two teams came in desperately needing points, three teams were trying to accumulate more points to secure playoff spots, two teams were battling for first-place, and one team was all about winning and setting records. If we're following trends from the first half of the season, there are seven teams vying for six playoff spots at this po...
Sunday Scramble: Rantanen’s bizarre mean streak, Maloney’s mystifying mindset, and the Avs’ dominance
When did Mikko Rantanen become such a goon? Ugly week for the well-paid Finn, who incurred the wrath of Islanders coach Patrick Roy after he crashed into Alex Romanov with under a minute left in DAL-NYI earlier this week. Roy’s passion was so infectious. I was fortunate enough to be watching live, and you have…
