GDB 75.0 Wrap Up: That’s how you bounce back, Oilers dominant in 4-0 win over the Predators
That’s how you do it, baby! Final Score: 4-0 Oilers. After dropping their last two games, the pressure was on the Oilers to get back in the win column and I was hoping that a matchup with the Nashville Predators was exactly what the doctor ordered. The last time the boys were there, Leon put…
The Day After: Los Angeles and Vegas both gain ground on the Oilers
On Saturday, the Oilers proved that they can hang with the top teams in the league when they’re playing at their best.
GDB 74.0 Wrap Up: Flush it and move on, Oilers fall 5-1 in lopsided loss to Minnesota
That was the opposite of fun. Final Score: 5-1 Wild I don’t know about you fine folks that are reading this now, but I’ve hated the Minnesota Wild for yeeeeears. From the moment they came into the league and started playing that horrible trap style of game to this current season where our boys can’t…
GDB 73.0 Wrap Up: Oilers get goalie’d in 2-1 shootout loss to the Avalanche but we’ll take the point
Hell of a game, boys. Can’t be mad about that. Final Score: 2-1 Avalanche in the shootout To be the best, you’ve gotta beat the best and that was the task at hand for the Oilers as they squared off with the Western Conference-leading Colorado Avalanche. Not only are the Avs a Stanley Cup favourite…
GDB 72.0 Wrap Up: Oilers extend winning streak to six, grind out gusty 3-2 win over the LA Kings
Six in a row, baby! Final Score: 3-2 Oilers Today was a weird day. Knowing how important this game was for both clubs, I spent the 12 hours leading up to puck drop pacing around my house in nervous anticipation. I must have done a time check on my phone at least 212 times in…
GDB 71.0 Wrap Up: It took a minute but we got there, Oilers complete the comeback with 2-1 OT win in San Jose
Good things come to those who wait. Final Score: 2-1 Oilers in OT Can I start the wrap by complaining about 8:30 PM starts for a second or nah? I don’t know about you fine folks but there’s nothing I dislike quite like a late one on a Tuesday night, and I want to salute…

GDB 68.0 Wrap Up: It wasn’t pretty but the Oilers close out a massive 4-3 shootout win over the Kings
Regulation win would have been nice but we’ll take it. Final Score: 4-3 Oilers in the shootout When a team is missing eight of its regulars, I don’t think it’s unfair to expect a win since your team would seemingly have an advantage, right? Of course. It just makes sense. At least, that’s what I…
GDB 67.0 Wrap Up: Oilers get back in the win column with convincing 6-1 win over the Coyotes
That’s more like it. Final Score: 6-1 Oilers After the way the Oilers shat all over themselves in Calgary on Saturday night, anything less than a bounce-back effort against the helpless Arizona Coyotes was going to be a real problem for me. And seeing as the Coyotes played last night in Winnipeg and decided to…
The Day After: It wasn’t just bad goaltending
At the very least, the Oilers didn’t allow the fans at the Saddledome who were chanting ‘we want 10!’ to get their wish.
