Training Camp Thoughts…
A week into training camp, here are some thoughts on what has stood out to me.
Oilers Talk
Oilers Talk is a category that says it all. If we have a hot take about the team, roster, or events surrounding the team we will place that content here. From personal opinions, to scathing analysis, Oilers Talk provides Oilers coverage for the fans written by fans.
Baggedmilk on #theLOCKERROOM: Vegas Bingo, Ty Rattie, and Drinking the Kool-Aid
As I do every Wednesday, I once again jumped on the 95.7 Cruz FM airwaves to talk to the boys at The Locker Room about the Oilers, life, and what to do in Vegas.
Q and A with Darnell Nurse

Nurse’s brief absence from training camp shouldn’t impact his play at all. Oscar Klefbom, Adam Larsson, Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Tobias Reider and Milan Lucic have yet to…
WWYDW: Managing the blueline

What should we expect from Darnell Nurse?
Oilersnation let out a collective sigh of relief after it was announced on Monday that the team had agreed to terms with Darnell Nurse on a two-year, $3.2 million contract. The brief holdout is now over and Nurse is back in Edmonton poised to prove that he is a legitimate top-pairing defenseman.

“Earning It”
There are plenty of reasons why I enjoy my day job at TSN 1260. First off, it allows me to talk about sports and share my opinion with an audience. It also exposes me to hundreds of different opinions every week, sometimes every day, and most of them are about the Oilers. Everyone has a…
Connor McDavid talks business with Bloomberg
When you’re Connor McDavid there are a lot of demands on your time. Being one of the most marketable faces in the NHL means that the guy has to go out and do all kinds of marketing assignments for the league while also finding for the obvious training but also on his personal brand. Over…
Pacific Preview: The Kings need their stars to dominate
This is one part of a multi-part series profiling the teams of the Pacific Division from an Oilers perspective. The Kings have spent their past four seasons since winning the 2012 Stanley Cup bouncing in and out of the playoffs. Will that trend continue in 2018-19?
