The Dallas Stars sit 26th in the NHL. They are 29th in GAA at 3.24. They don’t give up many shots, averaging 30.4/game (16th in NHL), but their goaltending has not been good enough. Kari Lehtonen has a .902sv% in 42 starts, while Antti Niemi has been worse with a .895sv% in 26 starts. This is…
The Edmonton Oilers are in a real live playoff race and their opponents have refused to fold like a cheap suit. For Oilers fans, the excitement of the postseason is a new drug, but the idea of a losing streak, epic fail and embarrassing end to the regular year is prominent, front and centre. What…
The Sharks, Ducks, Flames and Kings all won last night. The Oilers are still eight points up on the ninth place Kings, but if they want home ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs, they need to get back on the winning track. It shouldn’t be panic time yet. They are 6-4 in their…
Tonight, the Edmonton Oilers will face one of the most prolific scoring ex-Oilers, but it won’t be on the ice. Doug Weight, the last Oilers player to score 90 points in a season, will face his former team for the first time as a head coach. Weight is 13-6-3 after taking over as Interim head…
We love HOME games; have Liquor Depot deliver in under an hour. Click, pick, sit back and watch the game.

(Photoshop: @NewfieMikey) We love HOME games; have Liquor Depot deliver in under an hour. Click, pick, sit back and watch the game. The Washington Capitals are the best team in the NHL.

(Photoshop: @isuckatpicking) We love HOME games; have Liquor Depot deliver in under an hour. Click, pick, sit back and watch the game. After losing to Tampa Bay last night in a 4-1 turd bath, the Oilers won’t have much time to hang their heads as they must get right back to work against the red hot…
Hat trick for Connor. Oilers win. Back on the bandwagon. Final Score: 5-2 Oilers
We love HOME games; have Liquor Depot delivery in under an hour. Click, pick, sit back and watch the game. Last year, Cam Talbot was on the bench both times the Oilers faced the New York Rangers. At their first meeting on December 11th, Talbot was still in a rut and didn’t get the start against…
The Oilers haven’t allowed a goal in just over 147 minutes. I know it is the preseason, but thus far we have seen a significant improvement in their defensive zone awareness. We haven’t seen glaring mistakes, or five-star turnovers, and that has to be considered progress.
Home ice advantage has been a mirage for the Edmonton Oilers so far this season. The Oilers are 3-8-0 at home this year. They’ve been outscored 38-23. They’ve allowed 3+ goals in 9 of the 11 home games and they’ve scored once or been shutout seven times. There is no other way to say it,…
