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.
Another week in quarantine means a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to try and keep you entertained for an hour while trying to ignore the real world. This week, the guys looked at Anton Slepyshev signing a contract extension in the KHL, Colby Cave’s health scare, and the first coffee…
Like several of his players before him, it was Ken Holland’s turn to jump on a conference call with the media to discuss a variety of topics. In this latest edition, we look at Holland’s thoughts on staying positive during the NHL shutdown, the potential for summer hockey, and expectations during his first year in…
Given what Gary Bettman said on Tuesday, we can pretty safely assume that there won’t be a conclusion to the 2019-20 regular season. There may well still be playoffs, but it’s hard to imagine the remaining regular-season games get played out.
The playoffs, they are unpredictable at the best of times. Monday night’s Game One was no different. Between a glitch that caused the game to shut down after regulation tied 2-2 to the Canucks scoring on themselves twice, it was fun and so we are back for some more and to tie the series before…
We continue our look back at the 1997 Edmonton Oilers vs Dallas Stars first round playoff series today with Stars defenceman Richard Matvichuk. He grew up in Fort Saskatchewan and playing against his hometown team was a thrill. Matvichuk was a rugged, stay-at-home D-man who played against the Oilers’ top players. He and Ryan Smyth…
Another Wednesday in lockdown is upon us, and that means another opportunity for me to jump on with the boys at The Locker Room to talk about what’s going on in the NHL and life, while also trying to have a few laughs during these strange days.
The NHL continues to sit idle, as do all of the major sports leagues around the world, and an end to this hiatus does not feel like it’s coming any time soon. The NHL has been saying since day one that its goal is to hand out the Stanley Cup this season but as the…
On Monday, Edmonton Oilers General Manager, Ken Holland, jumped on Oilers Now with Bob Stauffer to discuss an array of topics surrounding his team as he continues to work on the current season as well as what’s to come. One item that was brought up revolved around 21-year-old Finnish prospect Markus Niemelainen and whether or…
You’ve gone and stepped into the weird part of the internet, where we are simulating the 2020 NHL playoffs on EA Sports NHL 20. You missed our first live stream of Game 1 against the Canucks yesterday. Fear not, you can still click here and see the feed (kind of, see below). But tune in…
NHL Commissioner, Gary Bettman, appeared on Lunch Talk Live with Mike Tirico this afternoon to talk about the future of the 2019-20 season and what the league is doing in the hopes of resuming play.
Just as his teammates did before him, Darnell Nurse jumped on a conference call yesterday to talk a little bit about how he’s staying in shape during quarantine, his teammates, and what’s to come for the NHL.
With the NHL currently on hiatus, and it appears as though it will be staying that way for a while, I figured now would be a great time to look at some interesting ways that the NHL could change and in my opinion, improve.
