You Ain’t Shane, You Ain’t Mook – ’19-’20 NHL Team Previews: Edmonton Oilers

Sam Fels September 25, 2019 0

And now this disaster. I was thinking earlier this morning that there really isn’t a parallel to the Oilers wasting one of the best players of all-time for years, but of course there is. It’s the Anaheim Angels. Mike Trout appeared in the playoffs once, and his team has been weighed down by incredibly bad […]

Game #54 – Hawks 6, Oilers 2 – I Set Out Running but I Take My Time

Rose Rankin February 5, 2019 0

It was worrisome for a minute, but then the Blackhawks remembered they were playing the Oilers, and their confidence that they weren’t the shittiest team in the league, or run by the biggest dumbasses in the league, or from the most miserable, cold location in the league managed to just overpower a confused Edmonton team, […]

Game #54 – Hawks vs. Oilers Q&A: Matt Henderson From Oilers Nation

Sam Fels February 5, 2019 0

Matt Henderson is one of the writers at Oilersnation.com. You can follow him on Twitter @archaeologuy.  So the Oilers finally got around to firing Peter Chiarelli. Is there genuine hope now? Or is the fear he may have broken this thing beyond repair? What can a new GM conceivably do immediately? Hope is hard to […]

Game #14 – Hawks vs. Oilers Spotlight: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins And Recognizing And Maximizing What You Have

Sam Fels November 1, 2018 0

You’d think if a team somehow hoarded three of the top five picks of any draft year, you’d have a real peach of a team. Hell, even two should do it. That’s what the Sharks did for years with Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton who were the #1 and #2 picks in the same draft. […]

You Share The Same Fate As The People You Hate – ’18-’19 Team Previews: Edmonton Oilers

Sam Fels September 25, 2018 0

I usually don’t get into the whaling about wasting the career of a generational talent. Connor McDavid will hardly be the first truly great player to not get to play in too many games that matter. This list could go forever. Off the top of my head: Dan Marino, Don Mattingly, Joey Votto, and Mike […]

Neither of these teams wants to be out during daylight hours right now. Hell, neither probably wants to be in public. Two teams that had designs on being […]
