December 28th, 2019 Edmonton Oilers forward Zack Kassian is an undeniable commodity. His skill and size are a perfect fit alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on the top line. Kassian’s far from worth his weight in gold though, in case the Oilers get any ill-advised ideas. Kassian Finds a Home It’s an especially topical subject, as Kassian...

Edmonton Oilers Proving Physical Hockey Still Belongs

Edmonton Oilers Proving Physical Hockey Still Belongs

November 5th, 2019 There's a lot of talk about how much faster the NHL is now; which implies that if your team isn't fast, they can't win.
