Squaring up with the Minnesota Wild has never been an easy task for the Edmonton Oilers.

Despite Edmonton’s solid start to the game, building…
Death, taxes, and the Minnesota Wild beating the Edmonton Oilers. On Saturday evening, the Oilers played the seventh of eight consecutive games, hosting the Wild for the final team this season. Like the previous two times, the Wild pulled out the win, defeating the Oilers 7-3. Things actually started off well for the Oilers, as…
Recap of the game.
Some think being a professional athlete is glamorous, especially in the big leagues. They think everyone is pampered and taken care of, getting paid to play a simple game. Yet, they seem to forget that these athletes are human, too. Edmonton Oilers goaltender Connor Ingram is a prime example of how, sometimes, even someone who’s…
Recap of the game.
The Edmonton Oilers are coming off one of the wildest wins of the season, but tonight feels like a very different test. On their 10th try, the Oilers finally strung together three straight wins with that absurd 4-3 overtime comeback against the Sharks on Thursday, and while two points are two points, the way they…
The Edmonton Oilers play the Minnesota Wild tonight, and more importantly, they play Quinn Hughes. It’ll be the second time they see him in Wild threads, the first having come just eight days after the deal. And look at what’s happened to Minnesota since that trade. The Wild went from good to great the moment…
I'll be fully honest in saying that I don't follow the CHL or its respective leagues likely as much as I did when the Winnipeg Ice were still a team. The Ice gave a reason to check in on the WHL and the other leagues under the CHL's umbrella, but I admittedly have not being doing that since they relocated to Wenatchee. Having spent the day in Brandon, it got me thinking that I should do more, and then social media got into the act tonight as several accounts posted the same clip from the OHL t...

He was unranked on Brownlee’s original list. Born in Edmonton, Stuart Skinner nearly had the perfect story after the Oilers…
Maybe Edmonton Oilers fans can resonate with this quote from Minnesota Wild coach Jon Hynes. “The one thing I will say is that when you go through 82 games, they’re not all gonna be Picassos, right?” said Hynes. Right you are, Mr. Hynes. Both teams would approach this ethos from different angles after their last…
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The construction of Rogers Place in Edmonton in the mid-2010s was imperative for an Oilers franchise that grew out of their old rink at Rexall Place. It helped usher in a new era of hockey with a state-of-the-art facility right in the heart of downtown, inspiring other arenas being built around the league, like Calgary’s…

On January 28th in 1937, Montreal Canadiens superstar Howie Morenz fractured his leg in four places when he crashed awkwardly into the corner boards and Chicago Blackhawks blueliner Earl Seibert landed on top of him. The three-time Stanley Cup (1924, 1930, 1931) and Hart trophy winner (1928, 1931, 1932), who led the NHL in points twice (1928, 1931), goals once (1928), and the Canadiens in both
On January 27th in 2010, the Vancouver Canucks set out on the longest road trip in NHL history. The 46 day sojourn sent them to 13 cities (Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Boston, Tampa, Sunrise, St. Paul, Columbus, Detroit, Chicago, Nashville, Denver, Phoenix) for 14 games. The hellish trip was required to accommodate the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, marking the first time since NHL players
On January 26th in 2001, Steve Sullivan of the Chicago Blackhawks was belittled by an out-spoken Avalanche fan as the forward left the ice upon having his nose bloodied by an Alex Tanguay highstick, resulting in a dozen stitches. Sullivan returned to score two shorthanded goals and see the same fan struck by an errant puck from a Patrick Roy clearing attempt. Revenge was sweet for Sullivan who
On January 26th in 2009, Down Goes Brown blogger Sean McIndoe opened a Twitter account in the name of Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke and proceeded to parody a witty fictional inner-monologue of the brash bossman. What started as a one-off joke evolved into 95 tweets over 63 days. A selection of Sean's tweets are posted below with an entire archive here: In the press box in Minnesota. Just noticed
On January 26th in 2011, the top pick from the 2006 NHL Draft, St Louis Blues blueliner Erik Johnson, scored an own goal firing a rebound past backstop Ty Conklin on a failed clearing attempt five minutes into the opening frame. The miscue was credited to Calgary Flames forward David Moss. Moss would add another goal leading his team to a 4-1 victory, marking the Flames fourth straight win and
On January 25th in 2004, Washington Capitals owner and AOL executive Ted Leonsis attacked season ticket holder Jason Hammer, grabbing his neck and throwing him to the ground, in response to the fan's game long heckling and insulting sign "Caps Hockey; AOL Stock -- See a Pattern?". Embarrassed by the outburst Leonsis apologized to Hammer the next day and the pair agreed to move past the melee.
The Edmonton Oilers were not good during the Decade of Darkness. Aside from being in the playoff conversation in 2007-08 and 2012-13 (mainly because of the lockout), the Oilers were almost always at the bottom of the league. From 2006-07 until 2015-16, the Oilers didn’t make the playoffs once, hence the nickname the “Decade of…
