Molly Tucker+FollowOilers’ slow starts costing big gamesThree goals against in just 37 seconds left the Oilers reeling on Thursday night, and even with Leon Draisaitl back, Edmonton never recovered. Connor McDavid didn’t shy away from the blame, saying the team’s urgency—and his own performance—needs to step up. It’s rare to see McDavid go pointless in back-to-back games, but that’s where things stand after this 6-2 loss to the Penguins. The Oilers’ talent is undeniable, but these sluggish starts are making every game a nail-biter. How do you think they can snap out of this rut before it derails their season? #Sports #IceHockey #Oilers00Share
Martha Garza+FollowTkachuk’s Grit Shines in Panthers-Jets ClashChucky’s back, and he’s not shying away from the rough stuff! After nearly 50 games out, Matthew Tkachuk returned for the Panthers and instantly found himself in the middle of the action. Against the Jets, he notched his first assist of the season and drew a roughing penalty after mixing it up with Morrissey—then got decked by Lowry. Love him or hate him, Tkachuk’s edge is giving Florida the spark they need in the Atlantic playoff race. #Sports #IceHockey #NHL00Share
david52+FollowOilers’ $30M contract gamble sparks debateStan Bowman’s decision to lock in Trent Frederic for eight years at $30.8 million is raising eyebrows in Edmonton. With the Oilers struggling for consistency and now over the salary cap, this long-term deal is being called out as a major misstep—especially as Frederic’s impact has been underwhelming and injuries have limited his play. As the trade deadline looms and roster needs grow, fans are questioning if this contract could hurt the team’s playoff hopes. What do you think: was this a necessary risk, or a costly error that’s holding the Oilers back? #Sports #IceHockey #Oilers00Share
William Morrow+FollowPenguins stun Oilers with explosive teamworkThree goals in just 37 seconds—now that’s how you make a statement on the road! The Penguins didn’t let back-to-back games or travel fatigue slow them down, dominating the Oilers and showing off serious depth. Anthony Mantha netted two, while Malkin kept the energy high with a goal and an assist. Even with injuries on defense, the team’s chemistry and hustle stood out. Malkin’s confidence is contagious: he says this group can beat anyone if they keep playing at this level. Are the Penguins finally hitting their stride for a big playoff push? #Sports #IceHockey #Penguins00Share
Phillip Scott+FollowPanthers Grind Out Win Over Jets in ShootoutWhat a battle in Winnipeg! The Cats showed serious grit, with Sam “Benny” Bennett leading the charge and calling it a “grinder” after netting his 18th of the season. The Panthers’ D was locked in, shutting down the Jets’ power play and keeping the shot count low. Tkachuk’s first point back was a huge boost, and Lundell/Reinhart sealed it in the shootout. Is this the kind of defensive discipline that makes Florida a legit playoff threat? #Sports #IceHockey #Panthers00Share

Molly Tucker+FollowOliver Moore shines at center for BlackhawksOliver Moore is making waves as the Blackhawks’ new third-line center, showing off his speed and smarts in every zone.
