The Edmonton Oilers are a storied franchise with a lot of history. Eight Hall of Famers have played for the team, alongside a multitude of other talented contributors. Many Oilers’ franchise records are well out of reach thanks to the greatest player to play the game, but there are plenty of milestones that are achievable
Previews and Predictions
The Vancouver Canucks lost a lot and gained very little this offseason. When the dust had settled, Chris Tanev, Jacob Markstrom, and Josh Leivo were members of the Calgary Flames, Tyler Toffoli was with the Montreal Canadiens and Troy Stecher was in Motor City. When you take full stock of the situation, they lost their
Since the NHL crowned the Tampa Bay Lightning Stanley Cup champions in September, the league has been saying that they hope to begin the 2020-21 season on Jan. 1. Now that we are in the second week of December, that seems unrealistic. The league has not made any announcement about what the season will look
The 2020-21 season will be anything but traditional. The NHL still doesn’t know exactly what the season will look like, so fans should expect the unexpected. Last season, the Los Angeles Kings finished with a record of 29-35-6, totaling 64 points, 28th in the league. The team wasn’t even close to a playoff spot last
When the 2019-20 season concluded this fall, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced Jan. 1 as the tentative date to start the next campaign. However, New Year’s Day is in less than a month, and we are still waiting to hear when training camps will open. It’s relatively safe to say the league is not going
The Minnesota Wild remain one of the most fascinating teams heading into 2020-21. After an early and short-lived showing in last season’s playoffs that saw them eliminated in four games at the hands of the Vancouver Canucks, a fresh outlook and new season (whatever that may look like) may be just what the doctor ordered
The COVID-19 pandemic is still sweeping the nation, which has resulted in no details of the 2020-21 NHL season becoming set in stone. Speculation runs rampant in the discussions that feature a wildly different season, but, for the Dallas Stars, it needs to be business as usual. With talks of division realignments, hub cities, and
The Stanley Cup is considered the hardest trophy to win in professional sports and even harder to win in back-to-back seasons. Since the salary cap was instituted ahead of the 2005-06 season, only one team has repeated as champions: the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2015-16 and 2016-17. Only three teams have pulled off the feat in
The Minnesota Wild roster has been completely revamped in the last few seasons, with the exception of a few key players such as wing Zach Parise, defenseman Ryan Suter and until the last few months center Mikko Koivu. This past season has been no different with player overhaul. The forwards have really seen some dramatic
The Boston Bruins are going through a changing of the guard on their defense this season. After spending his first nine years with the Bruins after signing as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State in 2011, Torey Krug left during free agency in October to join the St. Louis Blues. Captain Zdeno Chara
If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s to expect the unexpected, especially in the sports world. Tom Brady in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey. Seven-inning MLB games. The Stanley Cup in Canada. And due to a pandemic that has overstayed its welcome, 2021 will continue to throw us curveballs. It seems the Vancouver Canucks will
The 2021 World Junior Championship will be like no other. First, and maybe most obvious, is that the tournament will be conducted with no fans present, much like the NHL’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. It will remain in Edmonton as originally planned, but Red Deer will no longer split duties. Instead, the two cities will get
After consecutive first-round exits, Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving made some tweaks to the forward group moving into the 2020-21 season. After rumors swirling about the possibility of moving Johnny Gaudreau or Sean Monahan, it looks like Calgary will stick with their core group. The additions of Dominik Simon, Josh Leivo, and Joakim Nordstrom
There are a lot of unknowns regarding the status of the 2020-21 NHL season, let alone this year’s New York Rangers squad. General manager Jeff Gorton and President John Davidson won’t explicitly tell the media that the rebuild is nearing completion, but when you see the talent level currently in Rangers’ blue, we know that
In 2018 when David Quinn officially became the head of the New York Rangers coaching staff, it was agreed to be a five-year contract. As Quinn enters the third season of his first stab at being a head NHL coach, he — like the rest of the organization — will continue to be evaluated. The
The prospective 2020-21 NHL season still has plenty of question marks: Will there be an all-Canadian division with hub cities? Will the teams play a full 82 games? The prospect of an all-Canadian division is appearing more and more likely as Covid-19 rages across North America and the world. Personally, if the league must play,
The San Jose Sharks are headlined by Tomas Hertl and Logan Couture, both great two-way centers. However, both had injury-riddled seasons in 2019-20, and the team was forced to utilize their young centers. Management also traded Barclay Goodrow at the deadline and lost Joe Thornton to free agency, making the Sharks’ lack of center depth
After the significant changes this offseason, the makeup of the Minnesota Wild’s roster is drastically different from last season. If the team desires a playoff berth next season, it will be essential for several players to have breakout seasons. A breakout season from a young player can really impact a team’s outlook. The Wild saw
