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.
My subjective list of the top 25 centres entering the 25-26 NHL season.
My subjective list of the top 25 wingers entering the 25-26 NHL season.
My subjective list of the top 25 defencemen entering the 25-26 NHL season.
My subjective list of the top 25 goaltenders entering the 25-26 NHL season.
As the title says, lots to talk about and I try to keep it short, hence calling it a short shift!
My NFL prognostications are here!!! I KNOW that's why you love listening to Soups on HOCKEY!
More so, my take on McDavid and why I am starting to believe that he is a real threat to walk.
My favourite show of the year! Although, after over 2 hours of attempting to keep my energy and enthusiasm up (not 1 break if you can believe it), I am spent! But I hope you enjoy this show as I look at every organization from 32 all the way up to number 1. And my opinion on this is all that matters so this is THE list to decide it!...
The team Canada camp invites, expansion talk, a long overdue re-cap of the 1st round of the draft, and a look at how boring this off-season has been for transactions.
Thoughts on Hulk Hogan's passing, the Oilers changes to the coaching staff, and the player that the Oilers HAVE TO go after, despite the backlash that would accompany that move if it were successful.
The two biggest stories in the hockey world yesterday got my full attention for this edition of the short shift!
Nearly 2 hours of me talking, hopefully you can gut through it! On this edition of the BS I take a look at the latest trades, what is happening with the new CBA, who should be doing what this off-season, as well as a big look into the draft tomorrow night, and of course I look at what the Oilers are up to.
