With the trade deadline approaching, what needs to be addressed during the Olympic break is where the Edmonton Oilers will focus their attention. With a limited salary cap and some difficult contract obligations, one insider believes Edmonton has taken a number of players under fire. Some believe the Oilers should prioritize a defenseman at the […]
I’m not sure I was more surprised by the anger Canadians had at the absolute drubbing their American counterparts delivered to the Olympic Canadian women’s hockey team than the shock some on social media seemed to express at not knowing that an outcome like we saw today was fully in prospect.
