Did the Edmonton Oilers break the Calgary Flames AND the Vancouver Canucks? Sure seems that way.

Connor McDavid's Edmonton Oilers have caused the downfall and implosion of the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks - The Oil Rig
Something happening once is not worth much more than a passing mention or the punchline of a couple jokes. But when it has happened twice? Maybe now it is time to take notice. The two biggest western ...

Could you imagine if the #Oilers had gone through with acquiring Jakob Chychrun instead of Mattias Ekholm? Apparently it was much closer than we may have thought.

The Edmonton Oilers almost acquired Jakob Chychrun instead of Mattias Ekholm - The Oil Rig
The trade for Mattias Ekholm has been a franchise-altering move. It is easily in the discussion for the best trade deadline move not just for the Edmonton Oilers, but for any team in the league. Ekhol...

Hockey Canada made a variety of baffling decisions for the 2025 World Junior Classic. And it should come as no surprise that it blew up in their faces. But will they ever learn?

Hockey Canada should be embarrassed for the team they put together, the talent they left at home, the coaching staff they put in place and the decisions said coaching staff made.

Is it time for a Jesse Puljujarvi and Edmonton Oilers reunion? - The Oil Rig
Jesse Puljujarvi was often one of the fan favourites of the Edmonton Oilers during his tenure with the team from 2016–17 until his trade out of the city in 2022–23. However, despite his status as a fa...

Seems absurd to suggest splitting up Mattias Ekholm and Evan Bouchard, but maybe it's time for the Edmonton Oilers to start exploring what that might look like in the lineup?

Why splitting up Mattias Ekholm and Evan Bouchard could be a good thing - The Oil Rig
Ever since he was acquired at the trade deadline in 2022, Mattias Ekholm has been a staple on the top defensive pairing for the Edmonton Oilers and alongside Evan Bouchard. It’s been rare that the tea...

Don't worry everyone, no Canadian teams play on American Thanksgiving. But good news, they did think ahead and schedule the Canucks and Flames to play early afternoon on a Friday instead of the other 23 American teams that could play there.

Connor McDavid has been electryifying to watch from Point #1 to Point #1,000. Every single milestone point were incredible moments in his career.
Here's a compilation to watch and reminisce on all the McDavid milestones!

Looking back at every point-scoring milestone for Connor McDavid on his way to point 1,000
Thursday night was a magical one in Edmonton. The Edmonton Oilers racked up three straight wins for the first time this season, caught up to the Canucks, Kings and Golden Knights, the penalty kill was solid, and Connor McDavid became the fourth fastest player behind Gretzky, Lemieux and Bossy to hit the 1000 point milestone. The kid is still only 27 years old by the way.

Although it's unrealistic, it is entirely possible that Leon Draisaitl hits 1000 points this season as well.
He currently needs 128 points in Edmonton's 65 remaining games. Just shy of 2 points per game while he seems to max out around 1.5 at his other career peaks

Three takeaways from the Edmonton Oilers' win over the Nashville Predators - The Oil Rig
The Edmonton Oilers refuse to make things simple. It would be too easy and boring to simply win the game, wouldn’t it? It would be missing the tension of late tie games and the dramatic flair of overt...
