Edmonton Oilers training camp is right around the corner -- meaning it is time to start speculating about who will play on what forward line
This is a continuation of the last blog I wrote, recapping what GM Stan Bowman has done so far in his first full offseason as GM.
Bowman was hired midway through the 2024 offseason as CEO Jeff Jackson minded the store immediately after Ken Holland's retirement. Thus, this is Bowman's first opportunity to truly remake the team in his image
Well, here we go again. The Oilers have accomplished one of their goals by getting back to the Stanley Cup finals, and now have a chance to avenge last year's loss.
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.
It's inevitable that when losses happen in the playoffs that lineup changes occur - especially if you're the Oilers who are trying to win a cup. The players have a lot less rope to work with from their coach in the playoffs vs. the regular season.
One thing was for sure last night - the Oilers came prepared and came to play with methodical precision. Perhaps the Golden Knight's division win in the regular season was completely meaningless after all......
All first round series are complete, so we have a second round to come. Let's see who I think will win and who will be out.
The Oilers beat the Kings once again, this time with speed, depth, and smart coaching. Here's how Edmonton continues to dominate this playoff matchup.
This is a bit different than most of my blogs, but I still hope my regular readers enjoy it. I got a ticket at the last minute to attend Game 4 on Sunday, so I thought I'd give you my impressions of a live playoff game at Rogers Place.
Stan Bowman has been busy signing prospects to shore up the Edmonton Oilers' prospect pool, with most of them from the European or college free agent ranks.
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.
The Hurricanes were up for trading Mikko Rantanen, and the Oilers were one of the teams he was interested in. They lost out, though - let's find out why.
Reading the tea leaves, there are signs that Kasperi Kapanen's time as an Oiler may be coming to an end. More to come below.
Jeff Skinner went from a struggling fourth-liner to a key contributor for the Oilers. Here’s how his resurgence is fueling Edmonton’s playoff push.
Hockey is a team sport, so even the best players can't do it alone. Every NHL team needs depth guys who perform roles the top dogs either can't or shouldn't do.
It was recently rumoured and now the rumours have come to fruition - RD John Klingberg is an Oiler for the rest of the season. I'm not as much of a fan as the professional sportswriters are, who I believe sees him as more than he is.
