The Oilers are back in the final four....again. And they face the Dallas Stars....again. The Florida Panthers are back in the Conference finals.....again. It seems the more things change, the more they stay the same. Let's look at my predictions.
Even though the Golden Knights have been a team for less than a decade, they've already been a menace in the side of the Oilers during that time, both in the regular season and in the playoffs.

The X verdict is in - and the majority of hockey bloggers/fans are hating on the Oilers for not making more moves at the deadline. Once again a legion of people who don't use their heads.....think they know better than an experienced GM.
The 2025 NHL trade deadline has now come and gone, so let's take a look at how the Edmonton Oilers made out.
