The Day After 58.0: Oilers need to do some soul searching during three-week break
The NHL’s Olympic break couldn’t come any sooner in Edmonton.

The Edmonton Oilers entered Wednesday night’s game against the Calgary Flames with one goal in mind: get a win before the Olympic break. The best they could do was muster up a 4-3 loss, and for one of their leaders, Leon Draisaitl, to call out the goaltenders, the coaching staff, and the team as a…

‘It starts with the coaches’: Leon Draisaitl latest to call out Oilers after another loss
Things have gotten tense for the Edmonton Oilers. Heading into January, the team stared down an eight-game homestand they hoped to take advantage of, only to fall flat, going 4-4.

If you're wondering, I didn't win an eBay auction or anything. The Garret Sparks bobblehead is real, though, as the Toronto Marlies honoured the former netminder with his own bobblehead back in 2018, and there could be another version made this season after it was announced that Garret Sparks signed with the ECHL's Bloomington Bison today as the ECHL team looks to improve their playoff position as the season heads into its stretch run. Sparks had been working with the Bison this season as an E...

The Edmonton Oilers’ inconsistent regular-season play continued again last night in a 5-2 loss to Toronto.

The Day After 57.0: Oilers complete disappointing homestand with loss to Leafs
The Edmonton Oilers wrapped up their longest homestand of the season on Tuesday with a 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, closing the door on an eight-game stretch that offered far more uncertainty than clarity.

Remembering 10 stars who lost their best Olympic opportunity in 2018 and 2022
We’re about to hit a whole bunch of important Olympic milestones. The NHL break starts tomorrow night. The first preliminary round games are next Wednesday. The medal round starts two weeks from tomorrow. Construction on the arena should be finished shortly after that. The point is, this happening. And that’s big, because as every hockey fan knows, the NHL hasn’t been to an Olympics since 2014. That’s 12 years ago, which is a long wait for fans. But it’s also a big gap for the players – big en...
The Oilers penalty kill sucks again, Frederic tries to fight the wrong guy, and one more game until the Olympics
Oilers, Leafs. Leafs, Oilers. They’re games that always bring a big, split, noisy crowd to Rogers Place, and it was no different Tuesday night, with competing chants all three periods.
