Oilers Talk is a category that says it all. If we have a hot take about the team, roster, or events surrounding the Edmonton Oilers we will place that content here. From personal opinions, to scathing analysis, Oilers Talk provides Oilers coverage for the fans written by fans.
After a full week off, the Oilers are back in action tonight to take on the Winnipeg Jets. With only 14 games left in the season and a playoff spot essentially wrapped up, there aren’t too many more important games on the Oilers’ schedule. Tonight is certainly one of those games. The Oilers are currently…
Happy Friday, everybody! As we do every week, we’ve got a brand new episode of Oilersnation Radio to offer you all of the hottest Oilers takes and news you could ever hope to hear as we head into the weekend. This week, we’re looking back at the trade deadline, another COVID delay, tomorrow’s game against…
Which Oilers defender is the best passer? Who is the best puck carrier? We will all have different answers, but after looking at a variety of statistics courtesy of SportLogiq, some answers are very clear, while others might surprise you.
Very few NHL career paths have a smooth, consistent trajectory. Most of them are filled with peaks and valleys and more potholes than an Edmonton street in spring. The list of players, even some Hall of Famers, who had early success, only to struggle the following season, is long. Consistency is very hard to capture,…
We’re winding down the work week and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you set for the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at tomorrow’s postponement, a hypothetical Yaremchuk scenario, and welcomed Iain MacMillan from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and…
The Oilers stayed relatively quiet at the trade deadline on Monday. Ken Holland shored up the Oilers blueline by acquiring Dmitry Kulikov from the Devils but didn’t seem too interested in taking a big swing and trying to acquire a scoring winger for the top six. It was not an overly surprising day from an…
There are plenty of common-sense reasons why the NHL should step up today and call off Friday’s re-scheduled game between the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks on the Left Coast, but as we all know, common sense doesn’t always rule the day.
The belle of the 2021 trade deadline ball was traded over 12 hours before the deadline, when Taylor Hall got shipped to the Boston Bruins.
Good morning, dearest Internet friends, and welcome to another chapter of your ol’ pal Baggedmilk’s adventures in local Edmonton radio. As I do every Wednesday, I jumped on the air with the boys on The Locker Room for a few minutes to talk about COVID’s effects on the schedule, the NHL Trade Deadline, and anything…
Well, the pitchforks are out in some circles after Ken Holland stayed relatively quiet at the NHL trade deadline. To an extent, I understand why the Oilers didn’t push their chips into the middle. I also understand that it can be frustrating to watch a team with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl not go all…
Which one do you read or hear about more? The Oilers lack depth scoring. Edmonton relies on two players too much. I suspect you’ve heard or read those comments or some similar facsimiles often in recent years. It was valid in 2019 and 2020 when the OIlers were 23rd and 20th in 5×5 goals for,…
It was a quiet trade deadline for Ken Holland this year.
