Seeing the Vancouver Canucks in Round Two of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is an unexpected delight for their fans. For fans of the Edmonton Oilers, their team’s presence is the bare minimum.
The hardest game to win in any playoff series is the fourth one that knocks the other side into the off-season, and on Wednesday night at Rogers Place, the Edmonton Oilers had the chance to do precisely that when they returned home from L.A.
After an early second period goal from Blake Lizotte, it looked like the Los Angeles Kings might be on their way to making this series interesting, but the Edmonton Oilers' stars had other plans.
After four games with the Edmonton Oilers up 3-1 in the series against the Los Angeles Kings, I wanted to get a sense of how the teams have compared and what each team’s strengths and weaknesses have been across their respective rosters.
It’s fair to argue that Edmonton Oilers’ defenseman Evan Bouchard got snubbed this season when it comes to consideration for the 2023-24 Norris Trophy.
The Edmonton Oilers scratched and clawed their way to a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Kings in Game 4 Sunday night. It doesn’t matter how many you score it only matters that you score more than the other guys.
The remaining teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs are on notice.
The Los Angeles Kings were able to stick to their game plan enough to steal a 5-4 OT win from underneath the Edmonton Oilers. Getting a lead and keeping it is going to be a necessity for the Los Angeles Kings if they want to somehow upset the Edmonton Oilers in this series.
One of the best defensemen in the NHL, Evan Bouchard has been even better in the postseason to begin his career.
Home teams went 7-1 in game ones of the first round. And so far, home teams are 3-3 in game twos with Dallas and Edmonton playing tonight. Prior to Monday’s victory, the Oilers were 1-8 in game ones during the Connor McDavid era.
The Edmonton Oilers came to play from the moment the puck was dropped in an overwhelming 7-4 victory over the Los Angeles Kings Monday night. The Oilers used their speed to maintain a possession advantage over the Kings all night, constantly pinning them down as they laid on the attack.
For the third season in a row, the Edmonton Oilers will face the Los Angeles Kings in the first round of the playoffs. While the Oilers absolutely should not take the Kings lightly, playing them again might be music to defenceman Evan Bouchard’s ears.
It’s Round 1, Part 3, between the Edmonton Oilers and the Los Angeles Kings. With the Vegas Golden Knights losing to the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night
According to an anonymous NHL executive who was quoted in a recent article for The Athletic, the Edmonton Oilers are among the favorites to be Stanley Cup contenders this season.
Perhaps head coach Kris Knoblauch didn’t see a blowout coming. Maybe he thought his starting goaltender wouldn’t be rattled after a solid season. Whatever the case, the Edmonton Oilers bench boss admitted after Thursday’s final regular season game that he made a mistake starting Skinner and letting him get lit up for four goals in just minutes.
What a long, strange trip it’s been. On Thursday night, part of that trip ended for the Edmonton Oilers, who finished off their regular season with a 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche.
The Edmonton Oilers take on the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday night, both team’s final game of the 2023-24 regular season. For the Oilers, this will be their last chance to rest their major stars before taking on either the Vegas Golden Knights or Los Angeles Kings.
With three games left in the regular season and only a slim chance of winning the division, the only things I really cared about in last night’s game were that Connor McDavid picked up his 100th assist, and everybody made it through okay.
According to Ryan Rishaug of TSN, contract negotiations for defenseman Vincent Desharnais with the Edmonton Oilers have been temporarily suspended. It’s not clear how close the two sides got before agreeing to put things on pause, but the fact talks are happening is a good sign.
Evan Bouchard is playing the best hockey of his young NHL career for the Edmonton Oilers. The 24-year-old defenceman has honed his offensive game and made great strides defensively over the last several weeks since the Oilers hired Hall-of-Famer Paul Coffey as an assistant coach who works most closely with the team’s rearguards.
When Evan Bouchard has the puck on his stick, he’s a talented defenseman who can offer the Edmonton Oilers a ton of offense a lot of good things. The problem is, when he’s trying to play defense so far this season, there are few players worse on the Oilers’ roster, if not in the league.
