The Edmonton Oilers started the second half of the season like they started the first half — with a home loss. With 40 games remaining, the Oilers, like most of their opponents, are still looking for some consistency. They’ve yet to win three games in a row, and if St. Louis wins in Chicago on…

It was a great week for the Bakersfield Condors as they have now found themselves winners of three straight games and start the new year off undefeated.

The Oilers have completely turned around their season from the previous calendar year. They’re sitting in a good spot right now, 6-4-0 in their last 10 and having lost only four games all season at home in Rogers Place. Most importantly, they’re leading the division, albeit only by a single point, as Vegas and Anaheim…

Coming into the season, one of the Edmonton Oilers’ biggest perceived strengths was their defensive core. Edmonton’s depth on the back end was a huge reason why they got to a second consecutive Stanley Cup Final last spring. The ability to play Jake Walman in softer matchups gave their bottom six a puck-moving edge that…

On January 5th in 2008, Philadelphia Flyers forward Steve Downie sucker-punched the Maple Leafs' Jason Blake as the pair were being restrained by officials following early third period fisticuffs. Already famous for a vicious preseason headshot on Ottawa's Dean McAmmond, earning him a 20 game suspension and criticism from players league-wide (including Blake), the reckless rookie renewed his

On January 5th in 2011, Tampa Bay Lightning sniper Steven Stamkos lost an edge during a penalty shot attempt against Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins and failed to put the puck on net down 5-0 early in the second period. The miscue comes only six days after the 2010 Rocket Richard co-winner was awarded his first NHL penalty shot which he converted with a nifty spin-o-rama move against

On January 5th in 2011, Viktor Stalberg of the Chicago Blackhawks collected a hat trick of iron ringing the puck off both posts and the crossbar on a failed penalty shot attempt against Kari Lehtonen in the second period of a 2-2 match, extending his scoreless streak to 19 games. In response to the miss the Swede remarked "it's hard to imagine that happening" whilst the Finn backstop conceded "I

On January 4th in 1987, a bench-clearing brawl erupted during the final game of the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Piestany, Czechoslovakia between arch rivals Canada and the USSR. With Canada contending for a medal (bronze for a loss, silver for a win, gold for a win by five goals) and the USSR playing for pride, tempers flared at the match's midpoint with Canada leading 4-2. The

On January 4th in 2007, Dallas Stars forward Patrick Stefan famously flubbed an empty net goal with ten seconds left in a 5-4 game against the Edmonton Oilers. Falling after his failing, Edmonton fed Ales Hemsky who scored on Marty Turco to tie the game with two seconds to play. Afterwards, Stefan explained his unfortunate mishap: "It's not like I missed the net, I saw it was bad ice and I had

I’ll admit, I never got around to watching the TV series Stranger Things before it ended, despite everyone in my circle urging me. Still, just as everyone says it was must-see TV, so too are the Edmonton Oilers, with their up-and-down ways lately. Between the way the Oilers have been playing, some questionable lineup moves,…

In a perfect world, I think the top five should have one team from each division. That’s not about spreading the hype or artificial parity. It’s just the reality of the current playoff format, where each division is virtually assured of sending one team to the final four. (The exception would be a crossover wildcard “winning” a division it wasn’t even in, which would be very funny but has sadly never happened. Yet.) If our top five is about the long-term view, projecting ahead to an eventual C...

I won't deny that I was very against the idea that both Drew Doughty and Travis Sanheim were named to the Canadian Olympic team on Wednesday, and I voiced those opinions on January 1 on The Hockey Show . I haven't changed my opinion on either player's inclusion on the roster when younger players like Owen Power, Jacob Chychrun, Noah Dobson, and Matthew Schafer are available to go and will be the future of the Canadian Olympic team long after both Doughty's and Sanheim's times have passed. Toni...

Games have started again, but there are no official Canada West games until next week. A handful of teams are playing exhibition games this weekend, and I've tried to find some info on each of those games. I don't know why teams in Canada West keep this information a secret when it's a chance to sell the university game to more people, but this is the reality we live in when it comes to university hockey in Canada. Leaving that frsutration aside, we're one week from the second half of the seas...

Heading into the season, I didn’t think the Edmonton Oilers were going to win the Stanley Cup. I was scared to give that opinion when I first joined Oilersnation in October. Florida Panthers be damned, three consecutive final appearances is uncommon, never mind winning your first Stanley Cup in three tries, which has rarely ever…
