Why firing Kris Knoblauch won’t fix the Oilers’ defence and the McDavid-Draisaitl dilemma
Lord Byron once said, “The best prophet of the future is the past.” Byron was an English poet in the early 1800s, and his quote connects to many aspects of life, including sports. This quote should be front and centre in the Edmonton Oilers management office as they decide what direction to head this off-season….

He was ranked No. 30 on Brownlee’s original list. Curtis Joseph has got that dog in him. Cujo is renowned…
Bouchard says Norris Trophy snub ‘stings’, but he won’t let it bother him
Evan Bouchard admits there are many great defencemen in the National Hockey League. But for the Edmonton Oilers blueliner to finish outside the top three in Norris Trophy voting, despite leading the league in points by a defenceman with 95, and playing huge minutes on the penalty kill — that does sting. “When I saw…
Oilers’ Connor McDavid named Hart Trophy finalist for seventh time in 11 seasons
For the seventh time in his 11-year career in the National Hockey League, Connor McDavid is a Hart Trophy finalist. It comes off the back of another excellent season for the Oilers captain, leading the league in scoring with 48 goals and 138 points in 82 games, securing his sixth Art Ross Trophy, tying Gordie…

A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Five problems that contributed to the Oilers’ unfulfilling 2025-26 season
The term “Cup or bust” gets thrown around a lot for the Connor McDavid-led Edmonton Oilers team, meaning every season they don’t win the Stanley Cup is considered unsuccessful. The Oilers lost in the Stanley Cup Final in each of the last two seasons, but this past season felt especially unfulfilled after they were knocked…

Real Life Podcast: Movie talk, the Oilers off-season, and the Rogers Place naming rights
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it’s ready to help you wrap up the week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed what comes next for the Edmonton Oilers, Evan Bouchard’s Norris Trophy snub, the Leafs winning the NHL Draft Lottery, and much more. The guys kicked off…
Stan Bowman’s misses should cost him his job as Oilers general manager
The game of hockey is won and lost at the margins. It’s the ability to dig deep, bury that rebound, chip that puck out, win that faceoff, or any of the superlatives that contribute to wins on the ice. But in order for a team to be in a position to win on the ice,…
Seravalli: ‘More likely than not’ that Oilers fire Kris Knoblauch, make front office changes
Frank Seravalli believes there’s a good chance that the Edmonton Oilers will make a coaching change. On Thursday, the hockey insider was asked during an appearance on Sportsnet 590 The Fan about what moves the Oilers could make this offseason. A lot of moves are coming, he believes. “I do think significant changes are coming in…

Why Evan Bouchard deserved to be a Norris Trophy nominee
Few players are more polarizing across the hockey world than Edmonton Oilers‘ defenceman Evan Bouchard. The offensive D-man dazzles fans with slick passes and ‘Bouch Bombs’ from the point, but also makes them pull their hair out with the occasional cartoonish blunder. When the NHL announced its nominees for the 2025-26 James Norris Memorial Trophy…
Which Oilers raised their stock in 2025-26?
The Edmonton Oilers had a disappointing season in 2025-26, falling well short of expectations in both the regular season and the playoffs. Whether it was fatigue, injuries, goaltending, or coaching, they never got everything clicking at the same time. That’s not to say there weren’t any players who made strides, however, as a few players…
‘The most egregious snub in NHL history’: Oilers fans react to Evan Bouchard not being named Norris Trophy finalist
For some, it comes as a surprise that Evan Bouchard wasn’t nominated for the Norris Trophy. For others, it’s completely understandable. Over the past season, the defenceman made a case for himself to receive a nomination and it turned into quite the debate and conversation in the later stages of the NHL season. Pundits and…
Isaac Howard named to Team USA for World Championships, fifth Oiler headed overseas
Another Edmonton Oiler will be representing their country at the upcoming IIHF World Championships. Isaac Howard is suiting up with the United States as the nation selected a younger roster with little overlap to the national Olympic team that won the gold medal in February. He’s the fifth Edmonton Oiler heading to Switzerland. Recently snubbed…
Who could be available for the Winnipeg Jets at 8th overall in the NHL Draft?
With almost two months to go until the Draft, there is still plenty of time to get familiar with the top prospects in this class.
A Needed Break
With playoffs in progress for some leagues and ending for other leagues, this is clearly one of the busiest times of the year in the hockey world. The NHL Draft Lottery just saw Toronto claim the top pick, there was a new expansion team announced in the PWHL, there will be a new name and logo for the AHL team in Hamilton announced soon, and there are stories from around the globe that should be examined. I'm not doing any of that tonight, though, because my life has been busy enough with the i...
Oilers’ Evan Bouchard not among finalists for 2026 Norris Trophy
Despite a regular season that saw him lead all defencemen in scoring by 14 points, Evan Bouchard’s tremendous 2025-26 season won’t earn him a Norris Trophy. The Edmonton Oilers defenceman was not named among the three finalists named for the award Thursday morning. Instead, Colorado Avalanche defenceman Cale Makar, Columbus Blue Jackets defenceman Zach Werenski,…
Oilers prospect Maxim Berezkin scores double OT series winner, KHL’s Lokomotiv advances to Gagarin Cup
Perhaps the most intriguing Edmonton Oilers prospect lifted his team to the Gagarin Cup Final with a critical goal on Wednesday. Maxim Berezkin (Beryozkin) scored in Game 7 double overtime for a 4-3 victory, sending his Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team on to the KHL championship series. They eliminated Avangard Omsk after beginning the semifinal by digging…
NHL draft lottery hindsight fun: The games that we now know changed the outcome
The NHL draft lottery was this week, and the results were met with unanimous praise and approval. But what if things had been different? Specifically, what if one game, or even one moment, from the 2025-26 season had played out just slightly differently? As it turns out, that can change everything. Because of the way the process works, and how the league hands out combinations to specific spots in the standings, any result that shifted those standings would also have ended up changing the lott...
Questions defining the Oilers offseason: Can they free up cap space?
Earlier in the week, I kicked off my offseason series taking a look at the five questions that will define this summer for the Edmonton Oilers. The first order of business is to address their coaching situation, but after that, general manager Stan Bowman has to turn his attention to their roster. It is undoubtedly…
The Hockey Show - Episode 711
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, hits the airwaves with a lot to get done tonight as five people will be sent off Survivor: NHL Playoffs island. There will likely be some discussion regarding for whom these five are cheering now that their chosen teams have been eliminated, and I'd expect some funny comments from at least a few of the departing entrants. Beyond that, our hosts will squeeze in some hockey news after the exit interviews tonig...
