For the first time this season the Edmonton Oilers are in a legitimate must-win situation. Lose tonight and their season is over. Win, and they return to Edmonton for game seven on Saturday night. They know the situation, and if they want to avoid another disappointing first-round upset they will need a focused effort right…

Game 4, baby! Let’s do this thing. I don’t know about you fine folks that are reading this, but I could not be more excited about tonight’s game. Not only are the boys firing on all cylinders and seemingly scoring goals at will, but the way they’re winning is so dominant that it’s hard not…

The 82-game regular season rehearsal comes to end tonight for the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks.

I don’t know that there’s anything in the Oilers universe that I love quite like an 11 AM start to kick off my Sunday, and that’s why I’m excited to be getting us all set for this morning’s matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Now that our playoff spot is locked up and all that’s…
