Die Hard Oilers fan. Recreational athlete. Dad.
The Oilers are now 2-7 in games that end 3-3 after regulation. They're 5-1 in other OT/SO games.

I've never seen a boring 6-5 hockey game.

As of tomorrow we can no longer use #BabyNuge. With the rate he's aging, I can't wait for his peak in another decade or two.

Nuge with a Gretzky-like feed in Game 999.

Also, I like this version of Kapanen.

Where's Kevin McClelland when you need him?

As an Oilers fan, I'm okay with all these Olympic snubs. These guys have played a lot of hockey the past two seasons. A break should do them good. But as competitive athletes I'd expect those that truly felt snubbed to have a little extra motivation for the rest of the season.

2 HRs on 3 pitches is enough to beat 1 so far.
Dodgers let the Jays pull off the ol’ “three wild pitches and not really doing anything else” strategy

Yesavage... He was built up for this.

These guys are wasting beer like they're Stone Cold Steve Austin.

UNCRUSTABLE!

If Skinner cost the Oilers a point in the home opener, he stole two tonight. +1 Skinner

Who put Vladdy on Slo-Pirch mode? 7 for 10, 3HRs. 🤣

For two seasons I watched almost every Oilers game with Dennis. He saw the game in a way I could only dream of. Can't think of a better job in the biz for him.
May be old news, but I saw Carolina announced some hirings/promotions.

Dennis King, part of the old school Oilogosphere, was hired.

Kevin Kan, created cool vizs under Data Rink, was promoted.

Jeff Skinner got a taste of the Stanley Cup playoffs this spring and realized he had grown used to having his springs free.

I'm a little shocked by this, but Spector wrote an article that I completely agree with. What is this world coming to?

Captain Draisaitl
Not that there was ever a doubt with this, it'll be awesome to see Leon Draisaitl represent Germany at the Milan Winter Olympics in 2026.

The Oilers are still undefeated in Game 4s in which Skinner starts.

Bennett and Rooney collide. Did the hockey gods just check in on this series?
June 13, 2025 at 2:52 AM
If any Oilers are in the building, can they please report to the dressing room for the third period?

Oilers fans officially join the "We Hate Brad Marchand Club".

Craig Simpson did not watch the opening of tonight's game. He is roasting the officiating on several of these suspect calls.
June 7, 2025 at 4:24 AM
What if the best refs get the playoffs off and the worst one make it all the way to the final? Would there be a difference?

Shot 46! Game 1 OT WINNER!

Did he just exorcise the ghost of MAB?

OT. OK. I pre-napped for this!

#LetsGoOilers starting to takeover the game. Just gotta avoid "the blunder".
June 5, 2025 at 2:56 AM
Score didn't favour them, but that was a good period of hockey from the Oilers. Should've learned from the Kings and not challenged that first goal. At least it was early.
