Hurricanes or Knights? A Stanley Cup Final rooting guide for 30 other fan bases
Welcome to one of my favorite columns to write each year, where we go through all 30 teams that didn’t make the Stanley Cup final and offer up a suggestion on which of the finalists to root for. Nothing mandatory, mind you; more of a gentle nudge for the undecided. We have a bit of fun, it usually spurs some fun discussion, and there’s always a bit of suspense over which finalist the scales will ultimately tip towards. Let’s just say that this year, I don’t think we have much of a suspense fac...
The New State Of Hockey?
When one thinks of Florida, there are some images that come to mind: sunshine, beaches, and Disney World. Of course, those aren't the only things that Florida is known for, and it seems they're making "winning professional hockey chmapionships" into a Florida thing. We know that the Florida Panthers won back-to-back Stanley Cups before missing the playoffs this season, but there's another team that has made winning into an annual event in the state. If you're unaware of the Florida Everblades ...
Getting to Know Oilersnation: Kennedy(strash) Burgardt
One Direction broke up 10 years ago, and Directioners were converted to Edmonton Oilers fans. Or at least one was, and that’s Oilersnation’s very own Kennedy Burgardt, known online as Kennedystrash. After the great split of One Direction, she was scrolling on Vine (rest in peace) and a clip of Connor McDavid ‘splitting the D’ against…

Sunday Scramble: Does Bruce Cassidy’s status change depending on Vegas’ result in the Stanley Cup Final?
Is it better for the Edmonton Oilers if the Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup? The knee-jerk reply is no way Jose, screw them guys, bunch of… The question again, but better phrased: Are the Golden Knights more likely to grant permission to speak to Bruce Cassidy if they win the Cup? Or would a hurricane-ravaged…
2026 IIHF World Championship Day 15: Norway stuns Canada for bronze
What a disappointing tournament it was for Canada. After losing 4-2 to Finland in the semi-finals on Saturday, the Canadians played Norway for the bronze medal on Sunday, the final day of the 2026 IIHF World Championships.

The Dangers Of Suffering Silently
It's hard to sit here tonight and have anything but compassion and empathy for the Lemieux family. The ovation that Claude Lemieux got before Game Three when he walked down the tunnel with the torch to inspire everyone who loved the Montreal Canadiens was awesome. Therein lies the problem with mental health: it's a pain that no one else sees of feels as we try to make sense of Claude Lemieux taking his own life four days after that magical appearance in Montreal. More than ever, mental health ...
Oilers need to build their third line around Nugent-Hopkins
As the longest-serving player on the Edmonton Oilers’ current roster, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has been extremely important for the organization in more ways than one. Often referred to as the team’s “Swiss Army Knife,” Nugent-Hopkins has been exceptionally versatile, able to play both centre and wing at 5-on-5 while also being a key contributor on both…

Random Thoughts: Evan Bouchard’s injury, the Connor McDavid jersey auction, and Kelly McCrimmon
The Conference Finals are over, the world’s worst Stanley Cup Final matchup is set, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking about the Edmonton Oilers.

Should the Oilers re-sign Corey Perry in free agency?
With a longer off-season than we’ve been used to over the last couple of years for the Edmonton Oilers, it gives us more time to explore lineup fits for the 2026–27 campaign, and a familiar, grizzled vet might be available once free agency opens. Hockey insider Pierre LeBrun mentioned in a recent article in The…

Oilers trade tree: Mattias Ekholm trade fallout
The Edmonton Oilers have only really “gone for it” at a trade deadline once in the Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl era. They’ve made the playoffs every season since 2019-20, but often add depth pieces. In 2020, they acquired Andreas Athanasiou and Mike Green, then Dmitry Kulikov in 2021. The next season saw them add…
Oilers look weak with no rebuttal to McCrimmon leak claims
Make no mistake, the situation between the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights is nothing short of “he said, she said.” Word leaked early this month that the Oilers, with Kris Knoblauch still under contract, wanted to speak with Bruce Cassidy, fired months earlier by the Golden Knights. Vegas wouldn’t play ball, still won’t play…
Oilers prospect Maxim Berezkin reportedly staying in the KHL
A new report on Friday morning says the Edmonton Oilers might not be getting a Russian prospect to come to North America after all. Dark horse prospect Maxim Berezkin, 24, is fresh off his second Gagarin Cup in the KHL a week ago, and it’s been anticipated that the former fifth-round draft pick was going…

Oilers trade targets: Distressed NHL assets to buy low on
We are fully in speculation season in the NHL. It’s too early for any significant moves to actually happen, and outside of a few players re-signing with their current clubs, we probably won’t see any real significant moves until after the Stanley Cup final concludes. So, for now, all we have are bits and pieces…
