The Oilers Reminded Everyone They Have A Young Superstar Not Named Connor McDavid
When you play on a line with Connor McDavid, two things are going to happen. You’re going to score a lot, and you’re not going to get proper credit.

How's That Adam Larsson Trade Looking Now?
The jury’s still out on the Adam Larsson-for-Taylor Hall trade, and if it’s not universally popular in Edmonton, that’s because Hall’s contributions show up on the scoresheet where Larsson’s don’t. But the Oilers dealt from a position of strength—a glut of scoring forwards—to address a specific need...

About midway though the second period of the Edmonton Oilers game against the San Jose Sharks, Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl was ejected for spearing the Sharks’ Chris Tierney right in the dick and balls. Edmonton was down 5-0 when Draisaitl lashed out....
Oilers Fans Were Ready For This
May as well put this up top: The Sharks came back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2 in overtime, and were the better team by miles after the first period, outshooting Edmonton 44-19 in their Game 1 win. Despite a late-season slump, San Jose is the better team in this series, and I bet we’re going to hav...

Don't Burn Your Mouth On This Piping Hot Hockey Beef
Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid missed a couple of months last season when he slid into the boards with Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning in a Nov. 3, 2015 game, and broke his clavicle.

Connor McDavid's Anger Shows The NHL's Concussion Protocol Working Like It Should
