I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling down when the Oilers were trailing 2-0 after five and a half minutes of play. A lot of us were down. If you read the Nation’s mentions on social media, some of us thought it was the end of the world.
The Oilers rallied from a two-goal deficit for a 5-2 win over the Stars on Wednesday night at Rogers Place to tie the Western Conference Final at two games each.
Two nights after the Dallas Stars and Edmonton Oilers combined for eight goals, the two teams are well on their way to exceeding that number only a period into Game 4 of the Western Conference Final.
The Edmonton Oilers are going to the Western Conference Final for the second time in three years.
The Vancouver Canucks swept the regular season series against the Edmonton Oilers this year. The Canucks outscored the Oilers 21-7 in those four games and 13-3 at 5v5.
This time last year, I declared two things in an article at Oilersnation. The first was that I was going to do regular articles previewing the Edmonton Oilers playoff series with a focus on the tactics that would be deployed.
The 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs are exactly one week away. The Edmonton Oilers currently sit second in the Pacific Division, holding a record of 48-24-6.
Last season, in early January, the Oilers decided to recall defenceman Vinny Desharnais from the Bakersfield Condors. It was a big moment for the then-26-year-old from Laval, Quebec. He was on the verge of completing the rare path of seventh-round pick to NHL debut.
Of course, the Oilers will always want Connor McDavid in the lineup. He’s the best player in the world doing things few in the history of the game have done.
I don’t know about you, but I woke up Saturday morning feeling good. The Oilers clinched the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year the night before in thanks to a dominant performance over the Colorado Avalanche.
When the Oilers and Buffalo Sabres squared off 13 days ago, Edmonton blew an early lead only to lose the game in the shootout. Yeah, it’s fine to pick
Two weeks ago, the Edmonton Oilers rolled into Buffalo and lost a game they should have won. Edmonton got out to an early 2-0 lead thanks to first-period goals from Ryan McLeod and Warren Foegele but the Oilers weren’t able to close the door.
It’s not how you start, but how you end it, as the Oilers defeated the Buffalo Sabres at home by a score of 8-3. With the win, they now move to 88 points on the season, five ahead of the Los Angeles Kings for home ice in the first round.
The Edmonton Oilers, displaying their resilience, clinched an unconvincing 3-2 overtime win against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night. Despite leading 2-0 after 40 minutes, the Oilers faced a tough challenge in the final period as the Habs fought back.
Checking in at #14 on the countdown of the biggest stories of the year here at Oilersnation are the quotes from Ryan McLeod when he talked about taking less money on his current $2.1 million AAV contract.
Ryan McLeod had a strong start to his career with the Edmonton Oilers. During his second season, he started to show some potential when he put up 21 points in 71 games.
The Edmonton Oilers have been disappointing, to say the least, this season, and there are many reasons why they haven’t been successful. It’s easy to point the finger at bad goaltending, bad luck, or bad defensive play, but it seems that nothing is clicking for the team.
As the Edmonton Oilers continue their woeful season with their 2-8-1 record, it’s becoming increasingly clear that their goal has shifted from Stanley Cup contention to the modest aim of simply making the playoffs, being second last in the Pacific Division.
McLeod was set for arbitration earlier this month, but avoids it with his new deal. He will be an RFA with arbitration rights when his contract expires in 2025.
Kurt Leavins of The Edmonton Journal writes that he has been hearing that the Edmonton Oilers and restricted free-agent center Ryan McLeod were closing in on a new contract, but that the goalposts might have moved.
Ryan McLeod’s arbitration hearing is set for August 4th. After seeing what Philipp Kurashev was awarded, I could see why McLeod’s camp would want to go through the arbitration process.
The Edmonton Oilers moved forward Ryan McLeod to long-term injured reserve.
Ryan McLeod has been out since November with an undisclosed injury.
The Edmonton Oilers have placed center Ryan McLeod and winger Kailer Yamamoto on injured reserve. Yamamoto’s placement is retroactive to November 8th, the last time he’s gotten into NHL action.
As expected, the Edmonton Oilers have worked out a deal with restricted free agent Ryan McLeod, agreeing to a one-year, $798K contract.
