Latest Updates Around The World
Life is good for Vasily Podkolzin at the moment. The Edmonton Oilers winger has played a big role this season, and with Leon Draisaitl on leave from the team, he’s the one who’s gotten a deserved boost even higher in the lineup. Podkolzin – who has built great chemistry with Draisaitl – has scored in […]
The NHL is in a great place right now. Nearly every team has been competitive this season, the standings are as tight as they have been in years, and the league’s roster of superstars continues to grow thanks to the emergence of top young talent. As a result, there are some great prize races going […]
Connor McDavid was tired of hearing the same old song and dance about his tendency to pass the puck instead of shooting at the start of the 2025-26 season. A game against the Minnesota Wild changed his mentality, and since then he has achieved one of the greatest personal successes of his career and, quite […]
David Staples of the Edmonton Journal makes a compelling case that something needs to change for the Edmonton Oilers. The numbers don’t lie: When Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl aren’t on the ice, the Oilers get crushed. A bottom six that’s underwater by a wide margin isn’t just a weakness, it’s a playoff liability. He […]
Connor McDavid has accomplished just about everything you can dream of at the start of an NHL career. Eight 100-point seasons, five Art Ross Trophies, three Hart Trophies, a Rocket Richard Trophy and even a Conn Smythe, but the only thing that still eludes him is a Stanley Cup. Back-to-back trips to the Finals, only […]

Enjoy it while it lasts. At a glance, McDavid, who has 67 points in 38 games and Draisaitl right behind him on […]
Kurt Leavins of the The Edmonton Journal wrote this on Sunday“Unless Stan Bowman joins Connor McDavid in the hunt for a big game left winger, I can’t imagine who would be a better fit than Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.” He talked about the team’s need for a third-line center, but pointed out something I strongly believe in: […]
The Edmonton Oilers are guaranteed to have one player represent Team Canada at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, as Connor McDavid will obviously lead the charge in his attempt to add a gold medal to his already legendary resume. However, the recent play of two of their other Canadian forwards could very well […]
Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon have long been the two best players in the NHL, but somehow in 2025-2026 it feels like they’ve taken their games to another level. The superstar centers have played with the rest of the league to start the season, being by far the best two-point producers as they comfortably lead […]
Connor McDavid isn’t just playing well right now; he’s playing at a level never even seen before in his wildly entertaining NHL career. Often known as McJesus because he looks like he can walk on water, the No. 97 run that has produced the past twelve games is almost unbelievable. I used the word “wild” […]
