After taking care of the Blackhawks on Saturday at Rogers Place, the Edmonton Oilers hit the road for a quick two-game trip that started Monday in St. Louis against the Blues. For whatever reason, the schedule makers dropped these two random road games to start the week, and then the Oilers won’t play again until…

Once again, the Edmonton Oilers blew a multi-goal lead. On Monday evening, the Oilers began a two-game, Central Division road trip with a matchup against Phillip Broberg, Dylan Holloway, and the St. Louis Blues. They fell 3-2 in the final two minutes, moving their record to 6-5-3. Let’s take a look at what went wrong…

It’s safe to say that Jack Roslovic has settled into life as an Edmonton Oiler. Early in his time in Edmonton, he got a taste of the line blender as Kris Knoblauch and co. tried to find the right fit for the winger. Consider it found, as Roslovic has seemed to find a home on…

The Jets are getting ready to depart Winnipeg with a three-game win streak sitting right at the top of the NHL standings (in 2nd spot). The only question mark from a health perspective was Gustav Nyquist and potentially if either Dylan Samberg and Cole Perfetti are out of the yellow, non-contact jerseys. Skate news: Adam […]

The old saying from Super Bowl-winning head coach Bill Parcells infamously goes, “You are what your record says you are.” Well, the St. Louis Blues are 3-8-2, losers of seven straight games. Coach Jim Montgomery called out the team’s defensive errors last Tuesday against Detroit as “shocking.” “It’s shocking, to be honest. The amount of…

One of the things for which I am truly grateful when it comes to writing this blog is the opportunity to see and hear things before the general public does. Normally, this involves me swearing to uphold my end of the bargain by keeping specific information off this blog, but that's fairly easy to do since I appreciate my sources immensely. That being said, the title and byline written to the left was typed by Adam Waxman of The Hockey News on his October 27 article for the website. Adam may ne...

Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As always, I’ve got a brand new mailbag ready to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their take. This week, we’re discussing why the Oilers keep fumbling their way through October, goal differentials, goaltending numbers, and more. If you’ve…

Let's talk about hockey, because other sports make me sad. Who's up for some rankings? But first, I wanted to touch on something Pierre brought up a few days ago when he quoted a GM : “This is the most competitive balance I’ve ever seen in our league”. For the uninitiated, “competitive balance” is the term the league seems to prefer to “parity”, for reasons I’m not quite clear on. When they talk about it, it’s always as a good thing. I’m not so sure, and made the case almost a decade ago that ...

We're one month into the season already, and there are some storylines that are appearing in each division. Week Five's games may give us more insight as to which teams have a legitimate shot at representing Canada West in Elmira, Ontario in March, but we're only 48 hours into November so there's still time for teams outside the playoff picture to make changes. The Mount Royal Cougars got a chance to kick back, do some scouting, and watch the other eight teams battle this week, so let's check ...

Welcome to my weekly monthly very occasional NHL Grab Bag, a feature that, it may surprise you to learn, has tended to focus on the NHL. In theory, I should continue that trend this week. But that would involve a level of dishonesty, because I’d be implying that hockey’s been the top sport on my mind lately. And as all my fellow good Canadians know, that’s just not the case. No, we’re all about the Toronto Blue Jays up here, as they sit one win away from an unlikely World Series championship. ...

The further we get from the Mikko Rantanen shenanigans for last year, the less I understand it. This week, the Colorado Avalanche extended Martin Nečas — the prize for relinquishing Rantanen to Carolina — in a major way, eight years and $92 million ($11.5M annually). The 26-year-old Nečas has been tremendous in an Avalanche sweater: 44…
