Isolation: An Olympic Fad
After the Finland-Canada game was delayed on Thursday due to the outbreak of norovirus among the Finnish players, it seemed like the virus could become the story of the women's hockey event at the Milano-Cortina Olympics. Jason and I went over the medical side of the virus yesterday on The Hockey Show , but the one thing we made clear is that norovirus is highly-contagious and easily-communicable among people. As we know in hockey, one never wants to give an opponent momentum, but it seems tha...

Why this year’s annual mid-season crisis feels different for the Oilers
Let’s call this the annual Edmonton Oilers mid-season crisis. They aren’t defending well. They can’t get a save. The coach is out to lunch…. This is not a new story about this hockey team. The Oilers fans, Oilers media, and Oilers brass all say the right things at the beginning of the season. Connor McDavid…
Draisaitl spoke the truth and the entire organization should listen
Leon Draisaitl didn’t call anyone out. He didn’t rip anyone. He simply told the harsh truth about the current state of the Edmonton Oilers. Draisaitl wasn’t yelling or angry in his post-game scrum after another disappointing loss, the third this season, to the Calgary Flames. Draisaitl just spoke the truth, and he did it how…

The Edmonton Oilers are now on their Olympic break, and for some players, whether they’re travelling to a sunny destination or not, I’d imagine they’ll be tuning in to watch their leaders — Connor McDavid for Team Canada, Leon Draisaitl for Team Germany, and Josh Samanski, who will also be representing Germany — compete in…

The long and surprisingly weird history of players scoring 8 points in a game
This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of Darryl Sittler’s legendary 10-point game. On February 7, 1976, Sittler scored six times and added four assists to power the Leafs to a win over the Bruins. With the feat coming on a nationally televised Hockey Night in Canada game, the record became a defining moment of 1970s hockey. The record still stands to this day. Sittler’s record was recognized by the Maple Leafs during a ceremony last week, in the last home game before the anniversary. We dug ...
