Even board: Previewing the Oilers series against the Ducks The Edmonton Oilers open their post-season on Monday night against the Anaheim Ducks and have a good chance of doing some damage at least in the first two rounds. None of the teams in the Pacific w…

Couple thoughts on the Oilers upcoming series against the Ducks. How they match up at the team level and player level, and what needs to go well for Edmonton.

Slow your roll The Edmonton Oilers 2025/26 regular season was a disappointing one as they finished with only 93 points – a 0.567 points percentage that ranked 14th in the league. Considering the previous fi…

Couple thoughts on the Oilers regular season and individual performances heading into the playoffs. And that ugly Pacific division.

Managing the Oilers penalty kill when Henrique was unavailable Quick follow up to an article I wrote a few weeks ago when I looked into Adam Henrique’s struggles this season. I had found that while his even-strength numbers and overall productivity have …

Some day I'll stop writing about Adam Henrique. Today is not that day.

Here's how the Edmonton Oilers coaching staff managed the penalty kill when their top forward on the pk was out. The results were dreadful.

What if it doesn't come?

Happening this weekend. 🎲

Sounds good. We meet every couple weeks, so hopefully you can make it out.

It's been great! Got a good group going.

Yep, there was a deeper dive on it too.

It's funny, the people coming out to these were in the same boat. Get a wide range of skill levels and backgrounds, it's pretty cool.

Got hooked on it last year, it's great. Come out if you can.

The Metro Backgammon Club is inviting players of all skill levels to their next meet up on Sunday February 22 at Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre at 1:00 PM.

For any backgammon players in Edmonton. ;)

How should the Oilers deploy their defensive pairings? As we near the 50-game mark of the 2025-26 NHL regular-season, the Edmonton Oilers rank second place in the Pacific Division. However, their overall performance certainly has significant room for improvement, particularly for the standards of a cup contender.  This season, the Oilers rank 23rd in the NHL in five-on-five goal differential, having been out‑scored…

EIGHT MORE YEARS!

I've been fascinated by the Henrique/Frederic WOWY this year

Lags in goals but break-even otherwise

Good catch, I'm going to add a note about this.

Evaluating a depreciating asset: Checking in on Adam Henrique’s season Back in early September of 2025, I had identified Oilers veteran forward Adam Henrique as someone who could potentially see their ice time decrease to make room for some of the younger players. Thi…

Had expected Adam Henrique's 5v5 numbers to slide, and they have. But did not expect his penalty kill numbers to be better, which could be a problem for the Oilers now that's he's out for a while.

Debunk the funk While things look great for the Edmonton Oilers – currently sitting first in the Pacific division with 46 points in 41 games – it’s not likely to last very long. Their actual poin…

AI is making sports fans (and hockey writing) lazy and stupid Has Logan Cooley won the NHL's Art Ross Trophy? No. Does AI have much use for the retrieval of sports statistics? Let's find out.

AI does its best to mine information from credible sources. But what if those credible sources use AI, which is prone to errors? On that and more in my latest for @dailyfaceoff.bsky.social

I've been saying it for a while. Coach Knob is pushing the "beat Florida" system, but this team is not built for it. This is a speed & skill team playing dump and chase hockey. I gave him the benefit of the doubt that it was Gullys fault, but he's gone now and the problem is worse.

Lots of issues for the Edmonton Oilers. Most of which fall under the head of the coach's scope of responsibilities.

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 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.

Depreciating Assets: Oilers’ Adam Henrique at risk of being passed on depth chart this season With the <a href="https://oilersnation.com/news/first-thoughts-matthew...

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
