5 Oilers You Didn’t Know Were All-Stars

5 Oilers You Didn’t Know Were All-Stars

January 25th, 2021 One of the casualties of this shortened National Hockey League season is the 2021 NHL All-Star Weekend, which was set to be hosted by the Florida Panthers on Jan. 29-30 in Sunrise, Fla., before being postponed. The All-Star Game would have featured the usual suspects: Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, and, of course, Connor McDavid....
Edmonton Oilers Newcomers Finding Their Roles

Edmonton Oilers Newcomers Finding Their Roles

January 22nd, 2021 Five skaters made their Edmonton Oilers debuts over the first week of the season, as the team got off to a 2-3-0 start in the NHL's North Division. Fitting in with a team is always a process, and Tyson Barrie, Dominik Kahun, Slater Koekkoek, Devin Shore, and Kyle Turris have the added challenge of doing so on the fly this season...

1991 NHL All-Star Game & the Gulf War: The Modern NHL in a Time of War

January 19th, 2021 The face of the league had made his feelings clear. It was just a couple of days prior to the 1991 National Hockey League All-Star Game that a United States-led coalition launched Operation Desert Storm to expel occupying Iraqi forces from Kuwait. The military operation began at 3 a.m. Baghdad time on Jan. 17 with airstrikes on...

Oilers' Nugent-Hopkins Joins Team's Decade Club as Free Agency Looms

January 15th, 2021 The first milestone reached by an Edmonton Oiler in 2020-21 came the instant the puck dropped on the season-opener against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Place on Wednesday. With that opening faceoff, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who was lined up to the left of centre Connor McDavid with Zack Kassian on the opposite wing, became the latest...
Cam Moon Joining Exclusive Oilers Club

Cam Moon Joining Exclusive Oilers Club

January 14th, 2021 It could just be the most exclusive club in the storied history of the Edmonton Oilers. And it’s not actually open to the guys wearing skates. Over their first four decades in the National Hockey League, the Oilers have had four different players receive the Hart Trophy, three win the point-scoring race, and half a dozen inducted...
Curtis Joseph's Oilers Debut Was Transformative Moment for Franchise

Curtis Joseph's Oilers Debut Was Transformative Moment for Franchise

January 13th, 2021 As they start their latest attempt to bring the Stanley Cup back to the Alberta capital, there is something poetic about the Edmonton Oilers beginning this most abnormal of NHL seasons on Jan. 13. When the Oilers host the Vancouver Canucks in an empty Rogers Place, it will be exactly 25 years since a transformational night for the...
Oilers' 5th Stanley Cup Is Lasting Legacy for Muckler

Oilers' 5th Stanley Cup Is Lasting Legacy for Muckler

January 8th, 2021 The dynasty was supposed to be over. The Edmonton Oilers run of four Stanley Cups in five years had come to an abrupt end in the opening round of the 1988 Playoffs, at the hands of the generational superstar they had traded away eight months earlier. Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to...
Jets Vets Have Little Time to Get Back to Speed

Jets Vets Have Little Time to Get Back to Speed

January 4th, 2021 Training camp is underway as the Winnipeg Jets prepare for this most unique NHL season, which is bypassing exhibition games in the mad dash to a start date of Jan. 13. For some teams, it will be their first action since the 2019-20 regular season was brought to a screeching halt last March. On the other extreme is the Tampa Bay...
