Could there be a better opportunity for the Oilers to finally lock down their first three-game win streak of the season than on a night when the rival Los Angeles Kings were in town? I didn’t think so. If Edmonton couldn’t get fired up for their first matchup of the season against a tired Kings…

Got your coffee? It’s time to dig into this week’s Letters to the Editor. It’s on the players… The hand-wringing about the bottom-six is getting tiresome, especially when the finger is pointed at the players. Fact is, the bottom-six is where players go to die in Edmonton. We haven’t had a legit one since the…

A lot of people likely recognize the guy to the right as Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie. Beside him stands his beautiful wife, Haley, who has to deal with all of Eric's career twists and turns including moving when Eric is traded or signs elsewhere, keeping daily distractions from Eric when he's scheduled to play, and dealing with an unhappy goaltender if he has an off night. I'm not a professional athlete so I'm sure I've left a few details out about some of the stuff Haley does for Eri...

The Edmonton Oilers are back at Rogers Place tonight to take on the Los Angeles Kings, and this one feels like it could get spicy without having to try too hard. These teams don’t just dislike each other, but they’ve built a real hatred over the last few years. Our boys keep knocking the Kings…

Tonight’s matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings isn’t a measuring stick. It’s not a playoff preview or some grand test of where either team stands. But it will be insightful, and that’s all you should take from it. Both teams are coming off games against the Winnipeg Jets, who were stuck in…

Eight teams were in action today in Canada West women's hockey action, but it was the one team who wasn't that lead to today's discovery. I'll talk more about those other games on The Rundown on Sunday, but it was an exhibition game between the Alberta Pandas and the ACAC's Red Deer Polytechnic Queens that had me checking Alberta's website for scoring information. While I was there, I noticed they had published the boxscore for their exhibition game last week against the NAIT Ooks, so I went a...

When the Edmonton Oilers left Winnipeg on Thursday night, the Jets looked demoralized. They’d blown yet another lead and flailed down the stretch of another winnable game. Twenty-four hours later, those same down-bad Jets snapped their 11-game losing skid against the Oilers’ opponent on Saturday night – the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings may have…

It should come as no surprise that stripes play an important role on the sweaters and jerseys worn throughout hockey history. Stripes can add contrast, be used to separate jersey segments, accentuate logos, or provide a look that others may not have for a touch of uniqueness. We saw the New York Rangers use thicker stripes on their Winter Classic jerseys to help create that old-school look while the Florida Panthers used stripes to really add contrast and a pop of colour to their jerseys. Stri...

There are a few things I love more in the world than newspapers. They’ve existed for hundreds of centuries as ways to disseminate information to the public, and for nearly as long as they’ve been printed, so too have Letters to the Editor. Those letters serve to give you, the reader, a voice — something…

Welcome back to another edition of Ask Dubey! There were a number of great questions this week, focusing on the mental side of the game, how I dealt with pressure and the mental side of goaltending, and advice that I would give to young goaltenders dealing with the same thing. Let’s jump into a couple…

Edmonton Oilers one thing left to try with Trent Frederic: killing penalties If Edmonton Oilers general manager Stan Bowman had a hot tub time machine, he wouldn’t create the search engine “Lougle” or change the result of the Earnest Byner fumble – he’d trim six years off of Trent Frederic’s contract. It’s been an unmitigated…
