Game 56: Winnipeg Jets vs Montreal Canadiens pre-game report
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
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. The energy was nothing short of fantastic, and it’s a shame the Leafs are so far from being a Stanley Cup contender, because an all-Canadian…

Focus on Shooting The Puck: SHU’s Felix Trudeau
Who first proclaimed that a shot on goal is never a bad play? Maybe it was the same person who said, “You can’t score if you don’t shoot...
Michigan State Honors Sturges During Memorial Service at Munn
Michigan State held a memorial service at Munn Arena on Monday evening for Dan Sturges, the team's Director of Hockey Operations who passed away suddenly two weeks ago. Sturges was 40 years old...
Refs lift Maple Leafs over Oilers in spirited game: Recap, Reaction and Highlights
Coming off an embarrassing 7-3 loss, the Edmonton Oilers were once again beaten by a team on the second half of a back-to-back. On Tuesday evening, the Oilers hosted the Toronto Maple Leafs in the penultimate game before the Olympic break, with the Oilers dropping this one 5-2. Let’s take a look at what happened…
TBC: Tales From The Bus Leagues
If you've ever had a chance to sit and chat with a professional hockey player in a less-formal setting, you know that all players have about a million stories from their careers they enjoy telling. Minor-league hockey players always seem to have more of the crazier stories thanks to there being less cameras and eyeballs on them, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to add another great read to the library that is all about one man's hockey experiences. Teebz's Book Club is proud to review Tal...
Oilersnation Radio: Two more Oilers games before the break and a farewell to Calvin Pickard
It’s Tuesday afternoon, and there’s a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the boys were back in the studio to recap the week that was. On today’s episode, the guys discussed the Oilers’ record against the best teams, Connor McDavid’s Players’ Tribune article, Calvin Pickard clearing waivers, and much more. We kicked off…
Cheer, Don't Jeer!
I will occasionally drop in on a hockey game at an unspecified rink around town just to watch the action. My scouting resumé is nothing more than a blank sheet of paper since I've never been hired as a scout nor have I ever been asked to scout a player, but I know enough from watching games at the university level what I'd be seeking if I ever was asked to scout players. What a lot of people may not see is that the experience of sitting in the stands and listening and observing parents can go ...
Scenes From Morning Skate: Why Andrew Mangiapane is taking Curtis Lazar’s spot in the Oilers’ lineup
Andrew Mangiapane is drawing into the Edmonton Oilers lineup tonight, replacing Curtis Lazar. And if you’re an Oilers fan reading that sentence, you’re probably groaning. If you’re a player in that locker room, you might be doing the same. This is a begrudging pill to swallow. Lazar’s been playing well. He’s embraced the fourth-line minutes,…
GDB 57.0: Cross Country Rivalry renews between Oilers and Maple Leafs (6:30 PM, SN)
The Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs only play each other twice a year. They’ve never met in the playoffs, yet both fanbases dislike one another, and any time the Maple Leafs and Oilers play, the hype leading up to the games is higher than most opponents. I think it’s awesome. Sports are better where…
Manitoba Moose Practice Report
Latest from practice on the AHL club of Manitoba.
Why the Oilers trading for Artemi Panarin isn’t as far-fetched as you think
When news broke that the New York Rangers wouldn’t be signing Artemi Panarin to a contract extension, instead looking to find him a new home, it was reasonable to dismiss the idea of the Edmonton Oilers trading for him. An $11.6 million cap hit was the obvious roadblock for the Oilers, but so too was…
Pre-Scout: Connor McDavid and Bobby McMann the focus in Oilers-Leafs McMatchup
This Connor McDavid vs. Auston Matthews matchup tonight doesn’t feel like others. It’s been usurped by trade speculation surrounding Bobby McMann. It also won’t hit the same because it’s been a season from hell for the Toronto Maple Leafs as they come to town to face the Edmonton Oilers. That franchise is at a crossroads,…
Oilers’ Leon Draisaitl, Mattias Ekholm talk about Calvin Pickard going on waivers: ‘Great goalie and a great human being’
On Sunday, Edmonton Oilers goaltender Calvin Pickard was placed on NHL waivers, eventually clearing on Monday. Before the transaction was officially through, there was worry in the Edmonton locker room that Pickard could be claimed by another team. The 33-year-old goaltender played a big role in helping the Oilers to back-to-back Stanley Cup Final appearances…
Looking at the Oilers cap situation after Pickard cleared waivers
After being placed on waivers on Sunday, Calvin Pickard cleared on Monday. The Oilers were putting off a tough decision, given that, from all accounts, Pickard appears to be a well-liked member of the dressing room. Although he’s been huge in the playoffs when the Oilers needed him to be, the 33-year-old has struggled in…

Team of the Week: Miami
After going 3-28-3 last season, the Miami RedHawks have climbed to 16-8-2 and 7-7-2 in NCHC play, and No. 19 in the NPI, following a series sweep at St. Cloud State last weekend. For a program that has spent years buried at the bottom of the standings, the turnaround under second-year head coach Anthony Noreen has been remarkable to see...

Major Losses In Stavely
I have never been to Stavely, Alberta, but the town was shaken to its core tonight upon hearing the news that three young hockey players lost their lives today following an automobile accident. The three players from the Southern Alberta Mustangs were reportedly headed to practice when their small car collided with a truck carrying gravel at an intersection just outside of town on Highway 2. This is a heartbreaking moment for the town and the team, and I can't imagine the grief that is being s...
Winnipeg Jets force OT with late 6-on-5 goal but fall 4-3 to Dallas Stars
Recap of the game.
McDavid reflects on upcoming Olympics, goal of winning Stanley Cup with Oilers: ‘It just wouldn’t be the same somewhere else’
If there was any doubt about whether Connor McDavid loves the city of Edmonton and wants to win a Stanley Cup with the Oilers, then read the man’s words for yourself. Connor McDavid penned a Player’s Tribune article published on Monday titled ‘Dear Canada’ that talks about his tenure in Edmonton, the upcoming Olympics, and…
NHL trade rumours: Artemi Panarin to the Oilers? Insider believes there’s a chance if he wants to chase a cup
Could the Edmonton Oilers have eyes on Artemi Panarin? Insider Dave Pagnotta joined Oilersnation Everyday on Monday and was asked about the Artemi Panarin trade situation. He says that Panarin wants a chance at the Stanley Cup, but also wants an extension. Over the weekend, Pagnotta started to hear that if things didn’t work from…
