Edmonton Oilers

The Mike Babcock Oilers situation is the only place to start. It was reported during the finals that the Oilers have decided to hire Mike Babcock as their next head coach. Now, if you don’t remember Mike Babcock has been publicly shamed for his over the top hard-ass coaching style by several players. Mitch Marner...

Look at that trophy case. Six Art Ross Trophies. Three Hart Trophies. One Conn Smythe. One Rocket Richard. Five Ted Lindsay Awards. The only player in NHL history who has won the Ted Lindsay five times is Wayne Gretzky. Connor McDavid is 29 years old. I have been watching hockey my entire life and I...

In the most predictable move in NHL history, they finally released the schedule for round 1 last night around 1am Eastern Standard Time. Part of that decision was due to the dreadful Pacific Division being undecided until the conclusion of the game’s last night. Nevertheless, the first round is now official, and the matchups are...

The Pens were up 2-1 late in the third when Conor Dewar, who scored earlier in the game, iced the puck allowing for the Stars to pull...

Right before the puck dropped on Thanksgiving Eve, a tweet sent shockwaves through every fan in Pittsburgh that remembers when Tristan Jarry passed the puck to the opposing team in a double overtime playoff game.

Edmonton Oilers: The sports biggest loser resides in Edmonton; his name is Connor McDavid. McDavid had dreams of becoming like the...

Connor McDavid is the best hockey player on the planet and Edmonton is wasting him. This isn’t about highlights or point totals, this is about prime years slipping away. He’s putting up numbers that would make most of the league blush. Over a thousand career points, multiple Art Ross trophies, multiple Hart trophies, Conn Smythe-level...
