The Olympic break is giving the Edmonton Oilers a much-needed reset
Tensions are running high in Oil Country as the Edmonton Oilers often look helpless and discombobulated on the ice. No consistency in the roster, another list of offseason signings crashing and burning, and visible frustration from some of the players have made the 2025â26 season a true test in resiliency. Insiders in the hockey world are speculating wildly about what the team needs to do to improve its performance, which has largely beendisappointing all season.

Making a Team Canada âB teamâ for the 2026 Winter Olympics
With the Canadian Olympic team named the mystery is over. Though the Edmonton Oilers Connor McDavid was a lock for the team, several other Oilers were left off.

Who would make a secondary team A popular exercise is to pick a secondary team.

The âCream of the Cropâ: looking at three of the Edmonton Oilers alternate jerseys
While Connor McDavid and Team Canada are busy trying to win a Gold Medal at the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games, it is time to look at just a few of the Edmonton Oilers alternate jerseys and how the team has done when wearing these sweaters. The Oilers have had many different home, away, and alternate jerseys in their history, but today, I will be looking at their most recent Wordmark "Cream" alternate jersey, the Reverse Retro/"Mechanical Oil Drop" jersey, and lastly, their Navy Blue alternate jersey.

Edmonton Oilers Calvin Pickardâs agent goes to bat for waived goalie
Calvin Pickard's agent Ritch Winter didn't hold back this week when discussing the Edmonton Oilers' decision to place his client on waivers, delivering a pointed critique of the team's goaltending strategy on The Jason Gregor Show. Winter revealed that in conversations with Oilers GM Stan Bowman, the team remains uncertain about their goaltending hierarchy despite the waiver move. "Stan's not sure Calvin's not number one," Winter said.

Making a cap-compliant Team Canada for the 2026 Winter Olympics
With the Olympics underway, fans get to see best-on-best hockey for the first time in 12 years, and just the sixth time that NHL players have been able to participate in the games. As a best-on-best tournament, there is no salary cap here, allowing countries to have no restraint in building their teams beyond the number of players. One would think that being allowed that much freedom would make the process of choosing a team pretty easy, but if you are a country like Canada or the USA, you have a plethora of players to choose fromâany snubs are bound to get attention when the only criterion appears to be "are they good at hockey.â We know that many management teams have stated that they are building an actual team, not an all-star one, which is a philosophy that some people may not agree with (it's me, I'm people).

Oilers Sunday Census: The biggest Winter Olympics snub for the Edmonton Oilers
Three skaters from the 2025â26 Edmonton Oilers are currently in Milan, Italy for the 2026 Winter Olympics. Connor McDavid is a major part of the Team Canada roster, while Leon Draisaitl and Josh Samanski are playing for Team Germany. Being able to tout three Olympians on your roster is a pretty decent achievement, all things considered. However, given that the Oilers have so much talent on the roster, it's hard not to feel like there could have been more.

Who the Edmonton Oilers should make a âbig swingâ at
The 2025â26 season has been pretty up and down for the Edmonton Oilers. The team has struggled to find consistency in their game, looking like a contender some nights and a basement dweller on others. The bottom-six continues to be a formless void, the second defensive pairing isn't sorted out, and the goaltending has continued to be uneven, even after bringing in two new starters.

The impact of Assistant Coach Mark Stuart on the Edmonton Oilers
Over the last few weeks, there have been talks about potentially bringing back old Assistant Coach Paul Coffey to the Edmonton Oilers. Coffey ran the defence during his time here, which has now been designated to Mark Stuart, who still has his penalty kill duties. With the extra weight handed to him, along with the fact that Edmonton is running three coaches on the bench compared to the usual four, it seems like the team is having a hard time finding that cohesion and lacking details in parts of their game.

Here is the video: "It's tough, I think the chances we're giving up, some of the shots, they're tough, I think it's a lot of grade A's, a lot of breakdowns, so I think its tough to really think about your game at this point, I think it's a whole team game.â

Whether Evan Bouchard should be considered for the Norris Trophy or not
Voting for NHL awards is often a funny thing. Some awards, like the Art Ross Trophy, are simple and objective. Others are more subjective, like the Norris Trophy or the Selke Trophy. There is no clear formula for these subjective awards, more often an exercise in cherry picking stats to support a narrative. There is not much surprise here, but these narratives can help or hurt the cases for players.
