Nearly two weeks ago, former Edmonton Oiler, Ales Hemsky, officially retired from hockey and it inspired our very own Cam Lewis to look at one of the biggest moments from his 15-year NHL career. For many Oiler fans, the Patrik Stefan empty-net miss is a moment that will live forever. Even mentioning his name can…
If I’m being honest with you guys, I had no idea that today was Wednesday until Lochlin called me for my weekly radio hit with the boys on The Locker Room. I guess that’s what two+ months of self-isolation will do to ya, huh? As I do every week, I jumped on the airwaves with…
In mid-March of 1993, the struggling Oilers, who were well on their way to missing the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, sent Esa Tikkanen to the New York Rangers to join a host of other former Oilers on Broadway.
This afternoon, NHL commissioner, Gary Bettman, spoke about the NHL’s return to play strategy and what the league will look like if it can resume the season later this summer. While there are undoubtedly plenty of questions that will need to be answered in due time, Bettman spoke a little bit about what’s to come…
It looks like the trade is officially one for one.
As the NHL unveiled its plan for a 24-team playoff tournament this summer, commissioner Gary Bettman officially announced that the 2019-20 regular season had come to an end.

Well, the first round would be considered a play-in, not a playoff, but whatever they want to call it, for the first time in league history 24 teams will be involved in a win-the-series-and-move-on-or-lose-and-go-home scenario. Great. I love the 24-team idea. It makes sense, and while…
It was 11 years ago today that the Edmonton Oilers hired the eighth coach in history, Pat Quinn.
By the start of the 1991-92 season, virtually the entire core of the Boys on The Bus who formed the Oilers dynasty in the 1980s was gone.
Over the weekend, the NHLPA voted heavily in favour of accepting a 24-team playoff format in the event the NHL resumes the 2019-20 season later this summer. This is just a very small step forward to getting the league going and there are some large, complicated hurdles left to overcome.
The new play-in simulation went well for the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday afternoon. Winners in Game One by a whopping score of 8-1. The largest score we have seen in a sim yet and I was honestly in shock. Hopefully the Oil will bring that fire again and the Oilers can take a 2-0 lead…
