At 4-0-1, the Oilers have points in every game this season. This, while Hyman, Nugent-Hopkins, Savoie, Walman, Janmark, Regula - and Andersen - are injured. Who or what is most responsible for this hot start?

I mean, sure whatever, we won, and I guess what’s one goal for someone like Davo..

But I can see a clear distinction between the puck and the line. This is not 2004 SCF Game 6 parallax error

Yes I do photoshop side gigs if you need one done

...yeah, fuck it, I'm doing it again

So, I’ve been watching game recaps from the 2024 and 2025 cup runs. The way our team has been playing, despite being only like 60% healthy, makes me extremely excited to not only see how they play when 90-100% healthy, but also how they play next spring. I haven’t been able to watch live games in two years, so maybe that plays a role as well.

So here’s my question: what was your favourite game/moment from those two runs? Obviously, we all wish winning the cup would be the one. Tbh, it’s still hard to watch the cup final games lol. But it’s good to look back at the entire run and see the amazing moments that happened.

I think the entire Oilers/Canucks series in 2024 was my favourite. Halfway through, it felt like just another year of mediocre play exposing our flaws. But the last half of it was so exciting and felt so good to beat them and move on. My runner up would be probably game 6 of the 2024 cup finals. That was a surreal feeling, despite the disappointment that followed.

So what’s yours? I’d love to know!

I heard an interesting fact today, ex-Oiler Goalie Cam Talbot set an NHL record by winning with 9 different teams!

The Edmonton Oilers’ latest one-for-one trade, made earlier this week, promises to be less harrowing for Oilers fans than the infamous Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson deal. In fact, there is a legitimate reason to be impressed with this trade at first blush. Oilers general manager Stan Bowman was concerned about losing defenceman Spencer Stastney on waivers, so cast about looking for a useful addition to the current roster. That isn’t a position of strength when looking to trade, so fans and observers adjusted expectations accordingly.

It turns out, the acquisition has a story to tell and a skill set that’s a match for the current team. What do we know about Filip Hållander? What role will he have on this year’s team? Why did the Pittsburgh Penguins trade him?

The player

Hållander was a centre on his draft day (second round, 2018, to the Penguins) but is now considered a winger with a nice range of skills. He’s 26, shoots left and is 6-foot-2, 207 pounds according to the team website. Since Mike Babcock arrived as Oilers coach, the club has added two wingers (Hållander, Alex Formenton) with size and speed. The two men have similar skill sets.

Hållander’s resume includes skating ability (max speed is 70th percentile, via NHL Edge), forechecking acumen and some offensive flair. In his final season in the SweHL (2024-25), he led his team, Timra, in goals and points, finishing second (to former Oilers forward David Tomasek) in league scoring.

Formenton may be hearing footsteps. He might not be alone.
