Social Corner is content that takes a break from news, statistics, and analysis and instead focuses on the human aspect of the game. Everything from what players do off the ice and away from the arena to what fans are coming up with on social media.

Oilersnation, if ever there was a time to come together and pool all our collective monies into one giant pot, today is that day. One of Wayne Gretzky’s rookie season (1979-80) jerseys is up for auction on a sports memorabilia auction site with the expected sale price is $400,000 US dollars.
The playoffs, draft, and free agency weekend have come and gone and we are now into the fun stuff of the summer. I’ve already covered Connor McDavid’s top ten goals from the past season, as well as Leon Draisaitl’s top five goals. My next countdown? All of Connor’s goal celebrations of course!
Rookie development camp is underway at the Downtown Community Arena and we’ve been getting some pretty good insight to our newcomers throughout the week. Goalie prospect, Stuart Skinner, spent some time with the media today and gave some great insight of the camp through his eyes.

Patrick Maroon sat down on the Absolutely Unsure Podcast last week to discuss all things hockey and life. Even though Maroon doesn’t play for the Oilers, he still has a place close to my heart. A ton of the interview was Oilers related so I’m here to fill you all in!
A local group has organized for the acclaimed street artist, Okuda San Miguel, to paint a six storey mural in Old Strathcona and our friend Michael Maxxis (you’ll remember that he made the Oilers pre-game video for the 2016-17 season) reached out to us to help spread the word. After seeing the details of the project…
A golf tournament was something we always had on the bucket list, but we never really had the chance to put one together. Last summer, we decided to finally give it a go with our Inaugural Oilersnation Open and it ended up being a huge success! Everyone had a great time, the drinks were flowing,…
I haven’t been able to catch all of the games so far from the Stanley Cup final, but the vibe I’ve been getting from the Internet is that the officiating has been a tire fire of a mess.
Former Edmonton Oiler and Stanley Cup champion, Norm Lacombe, is looking for some help after he had his Stanley Cup ring stolen from his car over the weekend.
It’s summer time! You know what that means? It’s time to grab your friends, some cold ones, and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Where better to do that than the baseball diamond?
Over the past few days, Connor McDavid kicked off his summer vacation with a tour around Europe with his girlfriend.
