There’s a new lil Lucic
It’s the offseason, and sometimes the Oilers positive news stories are hard to come by. Today was not one of those days. Milan Lucic and his wife Brittany have a big announcement to make:
Social Corner
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. If there’s a story the Internet is talking about, we’re going to cover it for you in a way that only the Nation can.
What’s going on with Oscar Klefbom’s Instagram?
Alright, so it’s the middle of May and we’re always looking for something to write about but then I got this weird little social nugget sent my way through a text and on Twitter. There’s something going on with Oscar Klefbom’s Instagram account right now and I’m going to try to get to the bottom…

With Stuart Skinner winning the WHL Championship on Sunday night and signing his entry-level contract with the Edmonton Oilers yesterday, it seemed fitting that the WHL would put together a highlight pack for the goaltender.

Oilers at the World Hockey Championships

The Summer Plan Photoshop finalists
A couple weeks ago, I launched the Oilers offseason summer plan Photoshop contest and, as expected, you guys came through like you always do. Now that the deadline has past and the entries are in, it’s time to put the finalists up for a vote so that you may decide their fate.
There was an attempted break-in at Milan Lucic’s house ***UPDATED***
This is one of those things that I really don’t want to write about but feel the need to do it because it’s newsworthy so I will. According to Milan Lucic’s Twitter account, some asshat(s) out there tried to break into his place when he wasn’t home and steal whatever it is that asshats look…
Now Maroon wants to return to New Jersey? What happened to Edmonton?

McDavid reacts to the Hart voting
In unsurprising news last week, Connor McDavid was left off the Hart Trophy finalists list. In other unsurprising news, Twitter erupted while complaining about the thought process behind the PHWA’s voting.

Tonight we #MakeItFive
My friends, the day is finally here. Draft Lottery day. Our Stairway to Heaven. A day when Oilers fans everywhere feel a little more confident than anyone else in the league because we’ve been there before, we’ve climbed to the mother truckin’ mountaintop in spite of all odds.
