The Oilers Can Beat the Sharks
April 10th, 2017 The San Jose Sharks went all the way to the Stanley Cup final last season, but they don't look like the same team this time around. Many have cited injuries to Logan Couture and Joe Thornton as the reason for their recent lull, but they haven't looked great even with those guys healthy.

The roster is completely different, the management has changed, even the building is new. For all you Oilers fans who hung in there for decade of...
Playoff Drought Continues for Taylor Hall
March 27th, 2017 Call it coincidence, or call it addition by subtraction (in that the removal of Taylor Hall's contract meant the Oilers were able to address more pressing needs).
