Let’s take a look at what went on in…

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...

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…

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…

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:…

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…

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…

Certainly, there’s enough shenanigans happening on Capitol Hill that the lacklustre start for the Washington Capitals is flying under the radar. Blink and you would have missed in the 20,000 released emails this revelatory phrase: “The Caps aren’t scoring, Donny.” Perhaps a regular season where everything went right a year ago is regressing just as…

If you’re a defenceman who makes a lot of money and plays for the Edmonton Oilers, you’re likely to be the talk of the town more often than not. And recently it has been for all the wrong reasons. Both Evan Bouchard and Darnell Nurse are prime examples of that, lightning rods for criticism in…

When the SPHL's Huntsville Havoc announced that they were changing their logos for this season, I wasn't sure what to expect. After all, how does one design "Havoc" as a logo? While they had a somewhat tame logo for the last few seasons, I never expected them to go back to a cartoonish logo like the one to the left, but that's what they unveiled before the start of this season. Maybe it's more appealing to kids and families, but we're not here to talk about this logo because the Huntsville Hav...
