After back-to-back Cup Final heartbreaks and a rocky start to last postseason, it’s no shock the critics are out. But Skinner’s late playoff bounce-back under pressure—and now with Peter Aubry as goalie coach—has fans split. Is this EA snub just more fuel for Skinner’s fire, or a fair call after last spring? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #IceHockey #OilersNation00Share
stacy28+FollowOilers GM Stands Firm on Frederic’s Big DealStan Bowman isn’t backing down! The Oilers’ GM doubled down on Trent Frederic’s massive 8-year extension, calling him a “very unique” player who brings grit and intimidation—something you can’t fake in the NHL. Bowman says Frederic’s size and edge will balance out the Oilers’ younger, smaller forwards, especially with the Battle of Alberta opener against the Flames looming. Do you think Frederic’s deal will pay off, or is it a risky move? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #IceHockey #OilersNation00Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowLauren Kyle’s Cookbook: Oilers’ Secret Sauce?Hey Oilers Nation, while we’re still licking our wounds from another tough Cup Final loss to the Panthers, there’s some off-ice inspiration brewing. Lauren Kyle—aka Mrs. McJesus—just gave us a sneak peek at her long-awaited cookbook, "The Atelier Table." Unlike your usual recipe books, Lauren’s is all about the vibe: think dinner parties, girls’ weekends, and those legendary cottage nights. After four years of hard work, she’s almost at the finish line. With support from Connor and her relentless drive, could this be the Oilers’ new good luck charm? #Sports #IceHockey #OilersNation10Share
Sherri West+FollowLauren Kyle’s ‘Oil for Life’—Just Support or a Hint?Oilers Nation, did you catch Lauren Kyle’s comment on Connor Brown’s farewell post? Her “Oil for life” shoutout set social media ablaze! Some fans see it as pure support for Brown, who was clutch in our Cup runs, but others are reading between the lines—could this be a subtle hint about Captain Connor’s future in Edmonton? With King Connor’s contract talk heating up, every emoji feels like a clue. What’s your take—just a heartfelt goodbye, or something more? #Sports #IceHockey #OilersNation00Share
Molly Tucker+FollowStan Bowman’s Goalie Gamble: Right Move?Oilers Nation, are we witnessing another classic Bowman blunder? After King Connor and Drai did their part, our netminders just couldn’t hold up against the Panthers’ firepower in the Finals. Yet, at the 2025 Draft, Stan Bowman passed on goalies and went for defenseman Tommy Lafreniere and winger David Lewandowski. His post-draft comments about “evaluation” and “process” have fans fuming. Is Bowman missing the obvious, or does he have a master plan we can’t see? Sound off, Oilers fans! #OilersNation #StanBowman #NHLDraft #Sports #IceHockey10Share
Christopher Li+FollowDid Oilers Miss Their Goalie Window?Oilers fans, how much does missing out on Linus Ullmark sting now? After another Cup Final heartbreak, it’s clear the net was our Achilles’ heel. Rumors are swirling about Swayman, but with his new deal in Boston, that ship’s likely sailed. The Oil’s front office gambled on Skinner and Pickard, and it cost us. Imagine if we’d landed Ullmark last summer—would McDavid and Draisaitl be celebrating right now? We’ll never know, but this feels like a sliding doors moment for the Copper & Blue. #OilersNation #NHL #StanleyCup #Sports #IceHockey00Share
stacy28+FollowKane & Arvidsson on the Trade Block?Looks like the Oilers’ front office isn’t wasting any time after another tough Cup Final loss to the Panthers. Rumor has it that Stan Bowman is shopping both Evander Kane and Viktor Arvidsson to free up some cap space. Kane’s recent playoff antics and Arvidsson’s up-and-down postseason have fans split, but with Bouchard and McDavid due for monster deals, something’s gotta give. Do you think moving these vets is the right call to keep the core together? #OilersNation #NHLRumors #StanleyCup #Sports #IceHockey00Share

Jason Dawson+FollowSkinner’s Slip: Cup Dreams Dashed Again?Oilers fans, what did you make of Skinner’s costly miscue in Game 6? TNT’s crew was stunned when Stu didn’t glove Verhaeghe’s shot, and that rebound set up Reinhart’s dagger. After getting benched earlier in the series, Skinner’s confidence looked shaky, and the Panthers pounced—clinching back-to-back Cups. Was this the turning point, or was Florida just too strong? Let’s break it down! #StanleyCupFinals #OilersNation #Panthers #Sports #IceHockey00Share
