Great analysis! I wonder if/when Edmonton will start considering regional rail. I would think it would start to come on the horizon if/when HSR starts being seriously considered between EDM and CGY as the main stations would be constructed, likely at Strathcona Junction and then another central...

Wow... What an unbelievable last few days. No matter what happens in game 7, this has been one of the grittiest efforts in league history. If they manage to do it on Monday night, there is no doubt in my mind that it would be the greatest comeback in sports history, at the very least of this...

This would go so hard, but I doubt it. He would probably do it for the Kings.

It seems to be the general consensus that McDavid will get the Giguere treatment if the Oilers don't end up winning. If they do win, he's the run away favorite for the Conn Smythe trophy. Bob has lost that front runner position after the last couple games. The Oilers find themselves now in a...

The Oilers absolutely throttle the Panthers, in what game 1 would have been if Bobrovsky hadn't played like he was possessed by an ancient spirit of untold power. The goal tonight was to put some doubt in their minds and no better way to do that than to thrash them 8-1. Florida looked lost...

Despite being the better team in 2/3 games, the Oilers find themselves in a 3-0 hole. I wasn't able to watch the second and third period of game 3 due to my own ball hockey playoff game (unfortunately lost 3-2 in a shootout). A comeback is not impossible, but at this point it's basically over...

I wanted to highlight another thing I noticed which could bode well for the Oilers and particularly their lethal powerplay. That being the Panthers lack of discipline and, at least in game 1, the refs willingness to call them on their crap. I shockingly, was not overly disappointed with the...

The Oilers absolutely dismantle Florida's skating roster but can't solve Bobrovsky. This game should have been 8-2. The Oilers outskated, outworked, outshot and utterly obliterated the Panthers in every way imaginable... accept on the scoresheet. The only notes I have are that Skinner can't...

It will never not bug me that the Panthers have taken the name "Florida", there is another team in Florida so it's not like they're trying to attract from the wider state like say Colorado, Minnesota or now Utah. I know the team is in Sunrise, not Miami, but the team should definitely be called...

He's still doing the 630 CHED Radio call I believe

It pains me that he doesn't do Oilers playoff games on Sportsnet. Cuthbert is fine, Singh is okay, but neither of them can match his energy and clearly visible passion for the team. I've seen fans of other teams comment how good he is. He is the most hype announcer in the league. He should...

I've not been around as long as many Oilers fans, I truly only became a fan in 2017 (give me a break I was 2 when they made the Finals in 06 and it's not like they gave me a reason to like them between then and 17). Having experienced the heartbreaking losses earlier on. the struggle to even...

This is a good move IMO, I love McLeod but he's been invisible at best in these playoffs and comitting awful turnovers at worst. I like giving him (at least) a game off here to figure some things out. I can't help but feel like McLeod isn't built for the playoffs after seeing him play over the...

"Experts" are heavily favoring the Stars in this series (according to Edmonton Journal over 80%). I understand that they are seen as the favorites but 80% seems harsh and not very realistic. Most are predicting we're gonna get squashed like we did against Colorado in 22. Putting all of my...

ESPN does not care about hockey and it shows with this list... Any list that doesn't put McDavid at number 1 is immediately invalid, if you have him at 4th, you're totally out to lunch. Bouchard is at the very least a top 10 defenseman in the league I would put him in the top 5, he's in the...

So, the Oilers have beaten the Canucks, and move on to face the Dallas Stars in their 2nd Conference Finals appearance in 3 seasons. With hopes of not getting swept like last time. Here are my thoughts following the Vancouver series: The Offense: I was concerned early in this series that the...

Even though it really isn't... Game 2 always feels like a must win if you lose game 1. Fortunately, the Oilers did win and split the series heading home. A few things I noticed: 1. What happened to the bottom 9? I know that having 97 and 29 together inevitably means you're sacrificing offense...

I may have lost a bit of what I was trying to say there, so let me rephrase: Point #1: Mexico City is far from unique in having issues providing a consistent, safe and potable source of water to its citizens. I feel it is unfair to say that it "can't be anywhere but close to last place", when...

Why are we trashing CDMX specifically about water scarcity. A massive chunk of global populations are experiencing significant water scarcity right now thanks to various factors including poor water management and infrastructure, overpopulation of arid regions for largely economic reasons and...

Legacy game from Stuart Skinner, never thought I'd see the day the Oilers get outshot by that big of a margin and still win. Not sure what was with the team in terms of generating offense last night. I know LA was desperate, but usually the Oilers are able to put up a few more shots, even if...
