Oilers v 'Hawks, and this edition of the Oilers is starting to remind me of the 1969-74 edition of the Chicago team that never did win Stanley.

In Every Dream Home A Heartache Oh, those Oilers. Talent as far as the eye can see married to a baffling sense of the moment. A decade of coaches, managers, complementary forces and millions and millions of dollars and we are here. ...

Oh, those Oilers. When 'we have to be better defensively' becomes just a thing that gets said after hilarious gaffes, you are in Edmonton.

Lowetide: Evan Bouchard, the Oilers and a history of puck moving defencemen

Staying with Evan Bouchard, who combines enormous gifts with baffling moments, is a sign of maturity for ownership and management. Only two chaos puck movers have lasted seven years in Edmonton. Will Bouchard get to 10?

Standing In The Streetlights I love the new threads Edmonton Oilers players rolled out last night. They look like a cooler version of the New York Rangers classics, and my goodness it is a change from the trad look. Impressive.

Oilers win a Mammoth game, and Condors are fading several of the youngsters and giving extra playing time to AHL-contract veterans. Is this a good idea?

Is Edmonton Oilers winger Vasily Podkolzin finding another gear? There are signs that Podkolzin is going to be a more substantial scorer for the Oilers in 2025-26.

Mammoth at Oilers, G11 2025-26 The Oilers are through 10 games and are starting to find answers. Coach Kris Knoblauch's circle of trust is a small population, they could safely sit inside a four-door sedan. That has to change, but ...

A Town Called Malice I find myself generally hopeful about these Edmonton Oilers this morning. The team, I believe, is figuring things out in real time. When a team has a collection of talent but no cohension, it is prone...

Roby Jarventie is NHL-ready but do the Edmonton Oilers have room? So far this season, Jarventie is easily the best player on the AHL Bakersfield Condors.

Oilers at Kraken, G9 2025-26 The Edmonton Oilers have been mostly boring this season, but things got interesting later on in the game versus the Montreal Canadiens. Coach Kris Knoblauch shuffled the lines and the tweaks included ...

Oilers better get Kraken! (I'm so sorry).
