TBC: The Pittsburgh Penguins

I'll be honest in saying that there aren't a lot of books that I've read where the complete history of a team is both described and brought to life through pictures. For some teams, their histories would occupy volumes of books as there would be all sorts of key moments in those franchises' histories. For others, the stories would be shorter, but there still would be big moments. For a franchise like the Pittsburgh Penguins, they have reached the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in thei...

The Women Are Back!

Admittedly, I am not Australian nor would I ever pass for one. And while no one would mistake me for an Australian, I feel like I would fit in quite nicely at an AIHL game. Beign that I'm already a Melbourne Mustangs fan, I'm probably not welcome in most arenas across the Australian continent, but I'm a loyal fan. The only problem is that the AIHL is on hiatus until next spring, so it's time to dive back into the other league in Australia! The AWIHL hits the ice next week, and the Australian w...

The McIntyre Monster

It isn't often that a player with NHL experience finds himself accepting a contract offer from an ECHL team, but we've seen a few players turn what some believe to be a "last-ditch effort" to make their way back to the NHL into a long-term residence with their new team. Goaltender Zane McIntyre is in that situation now as he signed a standard player's contract today with the Tahoe Knight Monsters after Jordan Papirny was recalled by the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights. McIntyre's return to Nort...

Let's get spooky, with the roster for this year's Scary Start team

Friday night is the scariest night of the year. Call it spooky season, or call it fright-fest, or whatever else you might want, but it’s the one night where everyone huddles up and lets cold shivers race up and down our spines. Yes, it’s October 31 – the last night for NHL teams to get within four points of a playoff spot before Elliotte Friedman’s fabled Curse of November 1st kicks in and all but officially starts eliminating also-rans from the playoff race. Oh, it’s also Halloween, if you’re...

The Hockey Show - Episode 684

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is getting ready for a big Halloween night with candy, World Series baseball, and some spooky music. Tonight, however, none of that applies as our hosts get to chat with a man who has earned awards of distinction in his field while getting to cover some of the biggest moments in a franchise's history. It isn't often we get to meet and chat with a man who has served his community and local NHL franchise for a...

Oilers Thoughts: The kids need consistency, Nurse needs Walman

Tuesday night against Utah was the first time in roughly nine games that I felt like the Oilers gave us a glimpse of their “A” game. We really haven’t seen them reach that level since their win over the Vancouver Canucks back on October 11. Since then, they’ve had three other victories, but none of…

Top 100 Oilers: No. 66 — Pat Hughes

Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Pat Hughes comes in at No. 66 on our updated 2025 list.

This Week in College Hockey: Oct. 30, 2025

Last week, Tom Izzo, the longtime Michigan State basketball coach, took aim at the NCAA for granting eligibility to former G League players. For those unfamiliar, the G League functions much like the AHL in hockey — essentially the NBA’s minor-league system...

Updates Made

This isn't going to be a profoundly-deep update for anyone who may be wanting them, but I've been doing a few updates on the ol' blog for things that needed some attention. Despite this blog getting close to the 6650-article mark, today will have no talk about the future of this site or what I may be planning to do. To be completely honest, I really haven't given it much thought, but I was clicking through a few of the menu options and I noticed that there were things that needed updating. Tha...
