With another NHL Entry Draft fast approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to check in on Philip Broberg, last year’s 8th overall selection, to see how he’s progressed in his first post-draft season. Thankfully, Uffe Bodin from Hockey Sverige has watched him play over the last year and was ready to offer…
The 2019-20 NHL season was paused at a terrible time for Edmonton Oilers fans. With a record of 37-25-9, the Oilers were sitting comfortably in a playoff spot, and the dynamic duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were absolutely tearing up the league. (Sponsored Post)
Now that we know the NHL wants to hold their annual entry draft in early June regardless of the 2019-20 season not being over yet, it got me thinking about what the Oilers approach might be for this year’s fishing derby.
The Bakersfield Condors announced the signing of two players Wednesday.
Another Wednesday in lockdown is here, and that meant another opportunity for your ol’ pal Baggedmilk to jump on the radio with the boys at The Locker Room to talk about what’s going on in the NHL and life while also trying to have a few laughs at the same time.
While the big question on everybody’s mind is when (or if) the NHL is going to be able to resume the 2019-20 season and crown a Stanley Cup Champion, the league has also quietly been mulling over what they should do about the draft.
The times, they are dire but the motto of Hope Will Never Die applies now more than ever. The Oilers are down 3-0 in the series and it’s not looking good. Edmonton hasn’t score in the first period of any of the series so far. They have been down 3-0, 2-0 and 3-0 in each…
The 2016-17 season was a special one. Connor McDavid broke 100 points in 82 games. Leon Draisaitl had 77 points in 82 games. Cam Talbot played out of his mind posting a .919 save percentage.
Petr Klima was an enigma in the NHL. He defected from Czechoslovakia to join Detroit in 1985, and went on to have a long 13-year career. Some of his best days in the league came during the five seasons he spent playing in Edmonton.
This time without live sports has given everyone plenty of chances to reflect and take a deep look at what works in the world of sports and what doesn’t. There have been countless articles written about ways the NHL could change (including a handful by myself) and there have been lots of different ideas thrown…
Over at Sportsnet, Chris Johnston looked at some of the conditional picks that are floating around the NHL right now and given the league’s hope to hold the draft in early June, he gave his best guess on what’s going to happen. When it came to the conditional third-round pick that was included in the…
The 1997-98 Edmonton Oilers weren’t anything special. They posted a meagre 35-37-10 record, just enough to claw into the playoffs. A nice little 8-2 run in the last 10 games of the season helped the club secure a first-round date with the Colorado Avalanche.
