Odds Keith Gretzky Retains GM Job with Oilers

Odds Keith Gretzky Retains GM Job with Oilers

February 12th, 2019 Here's what we know... The Edmonton Oilers are planning to do a thorough search and another audit of their coaching, management, and front-office as they maneuver through a disastrous 2018-19 season; while forging a plan moving into next season. That means taking their time to see if there is a perfect fit for the...
A Different Justin Schultz Returns to Edmonton

A Different Justin Schultz Returns to Edmonton

March 10th, 2017 "Even though Schultz has yet to play a NHL game, he was considered one of the top players available in free agency this year. Twenty-six teams showed interest in him and Edmonton's sales pitch included phone calls from Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey." That was back in 2012, when Justin Schultz was one of the most highly sought-after...
MacTavish Absence Puts Slight Damper On Oilers Finale

MacTavish Absence Puts Slight Damper On Oilers Finale

April 7th, 2016 Last night was one of those evenings that fans of the Edmonton Oilers will never forget. Be you a fan from the days of the inaugural Alberta Oilers squad in the WHA, the Stanley Cup winning sides of the dynasty years or the most recent vintage of the Orange and Blue, there was something for everyone during yesterday's "Farewell to Rexall...
Revisiting Oilers 2015 Trade Deadline

Revisiting Oilers 2015 Trade Deadline

February 4th, 2016 It's been almost a full year since former GM Craig MacTavish was at the helm of the Edmonton Oilers and much can be said about his attempts or lack thereof during the 2015 NHL Trade Deadline. All around the Oilers faithful had to wait a couple months into the off-season when Peter Chiarelli took over and started making moves. It...
Oilers: Revisiting The Eakins - MacTavish Regime

Oilers: Revisiting The Eakins - MacTavish Regime

June 2nd, 2015 Back on June 10, 2013, the Edmonton Oilers made the official announcement that they had decided to part ways with their current head coach, Ralph Krueger, and replace him with the much-hyped but fairly inexperienced Dallas Eakins. While the former bench boss of the Toronto Marlies was a favourite of many in the eastern media, he proved...
Connor McDavid Can't Save the Oilers

Connor McDavid Can't Save the Oilers

May 14th, 2015 Rome wasn't built in a day. It’s tired. It’s over-used. It’s outstandingly accurate. As clichéd as the idiom has become it’s a lesson we should pay attention to. It’s a lesson Kevin Lowe should have paid attention to, and one Oilers fans can only hope Peter Chiarelli has learned. The Oilers are benefiting from...
Connor McDavid Is Coming To Oil Country

Connor McDavid Is Coming To Oil Country

April 20th, 2015 Connor McDavid is coming to Edmonton. I suppose technically not until June, but even the Oilers can't make a mistake with this selection, they will take him first overall on draft day. With the surprising results of the draft lottery and the Oilers receiving their fourth number one pick in six years, I think it's fair to say...
MacTavish Asks Oilers Fanbase for Patience (Again)

MacTavish Asks Oilers Fanbase for Patience (Again)

April 13th, 2015 Earlier today Edmonton Oilers GM Craig MacTavish addressed the media in his end of season press conference and once again painfully preached patience to an Oilers fanbase that hasn’t seen a playoff game in almost a decade. "I think we can be a competitive team, for sure, but we’ve got to make additions there. For me, it gets...
