It is the holiday season, and you know what that means?! Time for olllllllllllllllllll' Soupy bear to catch up on his hockey talk!
One year after the dream team dominated, Brent Sutter is back with a completely different squad that while having home ice, enters the tournament as very real underdogs. It would become the masterpiece of his coaching career.
Canada was going for their 4th straight gold medal and 6th in the last 7 years. They are largely remembered for being a one man show, and that one man went on to become a Calgary Flames legend.
My thoughts on the deals today as I attempt to look at all angles here. Who won today? Who wins long term? What it means for Skinner, what it means for Kulak, and where the Oilers might have won biggest of all.
I come in peace Flames fans! I hate this for you. Things are such a disaster right now, and I couldn't stay quiet about it.
Tough to say with the ADHD Oilers, but for now it looks like things are back on track. Thoughts on the jerseys, Savoie, Podkolzin, and a potential Binnington trade.
On this edition of the BS I talk Avs, the schedule being too much, not taking snipers too high in the draft (again), what a smart team should do with Quinn Hughes, a rundown of the other 6 Canadian teams, what I believe the team Canada roster will look like as of today, and of course end it with some Oilers talk.
Ok, so it's almost December now, time to wake the f*** up if you're the Edmonton Oilers.
Ol' Soupy bears look at the NHL and where everyone ranks as we head into US Thanksgiving.
It wasn't pretty, but the Oilers managed to pull it out Monday night vs the Blue Jackets after a nightmare performance on Saturday vs the Avalanche.
Between the Jays loss and the way the Oilers are playing, this isn't very fun.
After a brutal weekend, the Oilers got back in the win column with a respectable 60 minute effort.
That was hideous...but they somehow pulled it out to win two straight. I'm not even sure we've seen the Oilers D game yet, and they're 4-3-1. Good sign.
On this edition of the BS, I lead off with a lot of baseball specifically the Jays and the ALCS! I get a little political as I bitch about the woke agenda, Carter Hart signing in Vegas, Elias Pettersson being underwhelming yet again, Matthew Schaefer and the 2030 Team Canada blueline, a quick look at the Canadian teams and as always the Edmonton Oilers.
The Oilers are now on a 3 game losing streak heading into the final game of this road trip (kind of) on Tuesday in Ottawa.
The Oilers are 2-0-1. Given how the last 3 October's have gone, I'll gladly take it!
Jays, Oilers/Flames, Skinner, Ekholm extension and Roslovic signs.
The final show of my season preview show's, I lay out my power rankings list, followed by the range of where I believe each team will finish during the regular season, my playoff predictions and my award predictions as we get ready for puckdrop on the 25-26 NHL season!
My subjective list of the top 25 players (skaters, no goaltenders on this list) entering the 25-26 NHL season.
An all Oilers short shift as McDavid extends for dirt cheap, Walman extends for 7 more years, and what it all could mean for the Oilers over the next 3 seasons.
