Adjusting the blinders
Sluggish start to the regular season with the Edmonton Oilers currently sitting fifth in the Pacific division with a points percentage of 0.542 after 12 games. A 5-4-3 record doesn’t exactly …

The contract extension for Connor McDavid is likely going to be a short-term one in Edmonton. And for good reason.

Sharing this not just because I’m mentioned by name but wanted to also give a glove tap to Oilfans.com which preceded the Oilogosphere. As early as 2000(!), I was meeting up with folks from there. And many, like me, would go on to contribute to that blogging world.

I’d like to toot my own horn here, as well as that of my friends, by acknowledging that this month marks the 20th anniversary of the Oilogosphere. For those who don’t know, that’s the name given to the group of Edmonton Oilers bloggers who appeared after the 2005 NHL lockout. 🧵/1

I was little more than a lurker and then commenter in the Oilogosphere. But I learned an absolute ton from the people in this thread & others, with surprising applicability to areas beyond hockey.

I was glad to be able to contribute to it a little bit in my own way.

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.

Stan Bowman is making bets, Isaac Howard is a first-shot scorer, the Oilers should have quality youth in the lineup, and why you should listen to Jessica today.

The Edmonton Oilers made a reasonable bet signing Andrew Mangiapane. He's consistently helped his teams outchance opponents. But his productivity/point production has been steadily declining for a few years. Details:

Oilers vs. Panthers – Game 5: A Tactical Review
The Oilers’ loss in Game 5 was the very definition of a “team loss.” From goaltending and defence to offensive execution and coaching decisions, the entire team struggled to rise to the occasion when it mattered most. While certain players might have had brighter moments than others, no one stepped up enough to shift momentum…

Six Thoughts on the Oilers Heading into Game 6 of Stanley Cup Final
With a 5-2 loss on Saturday night, the Edmonton Oilers are on the verge of elimination in the Stanley Cup Finals. It’s been yet another roller-coaster of a series for Edmonton. They’ve had some dramatic comebacks and some extremely close overtime games, but they’ve also trailed for a significant chunk of this series. Now, they…
