OGDB 1.0: Canada opens Olympics against Czechia (8:40 AM, CBC)
The last time we saw NHL players on Team Canada in the Olympics was in 2014. Pharell Williams’ song “Happy” was the biggest hit. True Detective debuted. One of the great TV villains of all time, King Joffrey, was killed in Game of Thrones. Sidney Crosby was the only 100-point scorer in the NHL and Drew…
An Ode To Dennis Green
I'm not sure if I was more surprised by the anger that Canadians had over the absolute beating handed to the Olympic Canadian women's hockey team by their American counterparts by the shock that some seem to express on social media about not knowing a result like we saw today was entirely in the cards. The US team has been whooping the Canadian women over the course of the calendar year, and today's exclamation point in Milan may have been a preview for a future game where gold medals are awar...
Olympic Notebook: Slafkovský shines, U.S. women make statement against Canada, and more
Hockey is rolling at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. The men’s tournament began on Wednesday with action from Group B, while the women’s tournament is nearing the end of its group stage. Let’s get caught up on what’s happened so far. Slafkovský leads Slovakia past Finland The reigning Olympic MVP opened his second tournament…
Team Canada GM Armstrong on McDavid: ‘Gold means everything to Connor right now’
There’s just one more sleep until Team Canada’s best hockey players participate in the Olympics for the first time in a dozen years. The intensity and anticipation are ramping up for this team, laden with Stanley Cups and winners at the highest level. Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid wants to join his teammates in winning…
Oilers 2026 trade deadline target: Boone Jenner
One of the Edmonton Oilers’ biggest needs is a third-line centre. Boone Jenner is one of the best options available for that role ahead of March 6th’s trade deadline. It’s unclear if he’ll be traded, as the Columbus Blue Jackets have 65 points in 56 games, just four points behind the Boston Bruins for the…
Pre-Scout: Czechia’s best chance to beat Canada is goaltending and David Pastrňák
There’s strength in numbers. For the Czech men’s hockey team, that strength is their netminders, not the slim pool of players from which they select them. Their first big test will be taking on the powerhouse Canadian team Thursday morning. To do what Dominik Hašek and Jaromir Jagr did in 1998, shock the world and…
Eight current and former Oilers, including Gretzky, Hall, Draisaitl and McDavid, named to CHL top 50 players of all-time
Eight current and former members of the Edmonton Oilers have been named to the Canadian Hockey League’s top 50 players of all-time list. It isn’t a finalized list, however, as the league has opened a fan vote running through March 10th, which will allow fans to select their own top 10 CHL players of all-time….
Looking back at Connor McDavid’s history with Team Canada
At the last Winter Olympics in 2022, close to 2 billion people tuned in to watch the events, and if this Winter Olympics gets anywhere near that number, those who don’t know the name Connor McDavid will soon learn it — when they see a hockey player clearly on another level, blowing past defenders on…

Team of the Week: Quinnipiac
Maybe you haven't noticed, but Quinnipiac is churning along, already surpassing 20 wins for the seventh straight season (not including the COVID-shortened year). That also means it's on its way to a seventh straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. Two of those seasons had 30 wins, and one of them included a national championship...

On today’s episode, the guys discussed the Oilers at the Olympics, Team Canada’s line combinations, a potential trade idea for Andrew Mangiapane, and much more. We kicked off…
Oilers’ Leon Draisaitl skates with former teammate Dominik Kahun for German Olympic team, Samanski to centre 3rd line
The first set of projected lines for Team Germany has been released, according to Daily Faceoff. It’s no surprise that Edmonton Oilers star and Team Germany captain Leon Draisaitl will centre the top line. He’s set to play with former Oilers teammate Dominik Kahun on the right wing, who played 48 games in 2020-21, scoring…
Top 100 Oilers: No. 46 — Craig Muni
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Craig Muni comes in at No. 46 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 38 on Brownlee’s original list. Craig Muni was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the…
The Risk Versus The Reward
I know there's a push among women's hockey players to allow for more physicality in their game, and I'm not here to stifle that discussion and any resulting progress. If the women want to throw checks, they should be able to come to a reasonable agreement on how that can be done. As we saw in today's Canada-Czechia game, there are some women who are rather good at throwing bodychecks, but, just as in men's hockey, there can be injuries as we saw Canadian captain Marie-Philip Poulin exit the ga...
Comparing the Oilers’ depth forwards to other playoff teams’ depth forwards
The Edmonton Oilers’ depth forwards haven’t produced much offence this season. Some have suggested it is due to a lack of opportunity or role. Is that true? I wasn’t sure, so I decided to compare the Oilers’ depth forwards time on ice and production to other teams in the Western Conference. Let’s see how they…
‘As he should be’: German teammates react to Oilers’ Leon Draisaitl being named Olympic captain
Leon Draisaitl will don the ‘C’ for the Germans at the 2026 Olympics, something his teammates said was a no-brainer decision for the team. For Draisaitl, it won’t be the first time that he’s worn a letter while representing his country on the international stage, wearing an ‘A’ at the 2014 World Juniors, and an…
State of the Nation: We need your votes in our Oilers Fan Poll!
The Olympic break is upon us, leaving a 21-day break between Edmonton Oilers games. Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Josh Samanski are preparing for the start of a great Olympic tournament, while others are getting a much-needed holiday for the breakneck pace of Oilers games.
