Flames at Oilers, G3 2024-25 – Lowetide.ca
Oct 13, 2024 · The Edmonton Oilers are just finishing up training camp now, and should be NHL ready early next week. It's not fabulous that other teams are ahead of them, but that's a remnant from slow-playing veterans in preseason. This team, for years now, seems to need a gigantic hole to dig out of before the won-loss…

Oct 20, 2024 · How many truly popular goaltenders have the Oilers employed over the years? I'll say three: Andy Moog, Bill Ranford and Curtis Joseph.

As we await the 2024-25 trade deadline (Slats 1987 was stellar, although Kevin Lowe bested him in 2006), we can observe progress being made in real time. Some of the October disappointments got their wheels turning in November and the results are worth discussing. NOVEMBER SCORING (FORWARDS) Connor McDavid 3.17 (1.21) Kasperi Kapanen 2.41 (four…

Sep 2, 2024 · Photo by Mark Williams Lots of discussion about the Dylan Holloway/Philip Broberg offer sheets, as Holloway has revealed a few things about the negotiations. Some blame Holloway, some blame Jeff Jackson, I blame the organization's policy of squeezing young talent to the point they are vulnerable to an offer sheet. Ethan Bear, Ryan McLeod and…
