Oilers Outsider: Road Trip Raises Expectations

Oilers Outsider: Road Trip Raises Expectations

October 16th, 2019 Let’s not allow that first loss to take the shine off a stellar road trip that started with three straight wins — all in come-from-behind fashion for a record-setting 5-0 start. Sure, coming home 6-and-0 would have been that much better than 5-and-1, but most Edmonton fans would have been content with the Oilers getting off to a...

February 25th, 2019 As Monday comes and the NHL Trade Deadline is well underway, most of the action on deadline day does not surround the Edmonton Oilers.
