The Edmonton Oilers have to do something about their five-on-five goal differential. I know, I know, we've discussed it a time or two before, but the scene of the crime remains the old Moreau-Marchant-Grier stomping grounds. Connor McDavid (23-17, +6), Leon Draisaitl (13-7, +6), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (

Well, no one got hurt, so that's a positive. The Oilers continued the sleep walk that has plagued the team in recent games, and the Los Angeles Kings had beaten and frustrated the home team before Connor McDavid took a major and left the game. Dave Tippett's post-game avail was frank, honest and...

Based on yesterday's practice, Jesse Puljujarvi is back on the No. 1 line with Connor McDavid again. I am not by nature a braggart, but there's no sin in returning to a conversation. A few weeks ago I said JP would eventually find the McDavid line because the alternative (at the time Zack Kassian)...

The Oilers started slow, caught up, then fell behind again, surrendering the lead for good last night. A late push was entertaining, but if we're honest the Kraken worked harder than the more talented Oilers and the standings are a noxious perfume this morning. I think there are some good things to...

What did the Edmonton Oilers 2016-17 edition look like 22 games into the season? Did that team have more depth, better options? What did the team look like and how much of an impact were the spring stars of 2017 have on the fall of 2016? Let's have a look. https://twitter.com/Lowetide/status/14667922

The Oilers won a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins last night, despite being outshot 34-22 and losing the possession battle so badly Natural Stat Trick had to replace the fuses. Zach Hyman scored two huge goals to keep Edmonton in the game through two periods, and then the rest of the group...

This month begins with some visible worry on the brow. Chaos, panic, and stark imagery seem certain in the days to come. I don't think we'll reach 'Donner Party' or 'Tecumseh Valley' but am fairly certain you will read 'same as it ever was' and 'we hoped for the best but it turned out the…

During his first trip to Bakersfield to meet the media and the Condors organization in 2018, Jay Woodcroft said his AHL team would be based on pace, puck possession and playing a connected brand of hockey in all three zones.

One of the things we discussed Saturday morning surrounded winger Jesse Puljujarvi and what he might be able to do with some clean air against lesser competition. The 'soft parade' as I like to call it. Puljujarvi scored a five-on-five goal, the game winner matter of fact, against a feature pairing (

Kailer Yamamoto photo by Mark Williams The Oilers are producing NHL talent in Bakersfield, something that shouldn't be considered unusual but runs out of time with the team's own past. If two NHL players per draft is considered success, then how many NHL players per season should an AHL team produce?
