Interviews and pressers are self-explanatory. It’s when somebody, a player, coach, member of the front office, gives an interview, and then we transcribe it for you, break it down, and provide some thoughts. When the Oilers speak, we’ll be there to analyze their comments as thoroughly as you’d expect from the cast of CSI Miami. From their lips to your eyeballs, we’ve got you covered on who said what.
Darnell Nurse and the Oilers agreed to a two-year contract extension early Monday afternoon, and he was on the ice Tuesday morning with his teammates. 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…
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…
Yesterday morning, Darren Dreger appeared on The Nielson Show over at TSN 1260 to talk all things Oilers, including Darnell Nurse’s contract delays. According to the insider, he’d be surprised if a contract isn’t finalized before the season starts but did mention that the Oilers have a number in mind that they’re not really looking…
MAOR Oilers offseason interviews! And this time, it was Leon Draisaitl’s turn to talk Oilers.
Never forget that time the Oilers hired their arch rivals’ head coach as an assistant coach. In an uncommon move, I’m very excited to see Gulutzan behind the Oilers bench and implement some of his new ideas.
I was SO happy to see a Connor McDavid interview written by Luke Fox at Sportsnet when I woke up this morning. It’s so refreshing to get an update from him on his thoughts on the summer moves and current season. Connor’s the leader of our team and the leader of our city. I think it’s…
“Am I saying this to him just to make me feel good, because I want to be right, or am I saying it to improve the player?” – Steve Smith. Smith was drafted in the sixth round in 1981 by the Edmonton Oilers. He played two more years in junior (London) and then another two…
Over the past couple weeks, we’ve heard a lot of summer updates from some Oilers that are back in Edmonton like Cam Talbot, and Kris Russell. It’s been quiet for our hockey friends that live overseas like Jesse Puljujarvi. We haven’t heard much about how his offseason is going and what is training has been…
Yesterday a few Oilers staff, players, and alumni participated in the Oil Country Celebrity Pro-Am golf tournament. It was fun seeing the pictures all day long but what I was really waiting for was the post-round interview that always happens with the players.
Milan Lucic jumped on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast this morning for what turned out to be a very solid interview about his time in Boston, what it’s like to play for the Oilers, what went wrong last year, and how he plans on bouncing back for the upcoming season. As always, I’ve got the breakdown.
Yesterday, friend of the Nation, Reid Wilkins, posted the audio of Todd McLellan speaking to the media after the Mark Spector Golf Classic had wrapped for another year, and it was a much different chat than we saw at the same time last year. In the interview, McLellan talked about what it was like to…
As you all know, the Oilers are beginning their season with a four-game road trip that begins in Europe over the span of approximately 15 days. There’s been a lot of discussion on the October schedule and whether it will have a positive or negative outcome for the Oilers. Kris Russell was interviewed by Jessica…
