Oilers on the left coast to play Holland's Home for the Aged. Plus: Looking forward (what will the lines look like in May) by looking back (to 1990).

@lowetide.bsky.social@lowetide.bsky.socialPodkolzin-McDavid-Draisaitl as the Oilers all-time best line? That's elite competition, but early days the trio is delivering at historic rates. Will they have Gretzky-to-Kurri sustain?

@lowetide.bsky.socialWhy the Edmonton Oilers’ top line is off to a historic start to 2026-27 season
@lowetide.bsky.socialHappy Thanksgiving! Some personal news and a quick look at why the AHL Condors matter this season for Oilers fans.
@lowetide.bsky.socialDamien Carfagna and Tomas Cibulka are two players you should know. Oilers fans are going to like both of them when they arrive with the big team.
@cdnhistoryehx.bsky.socialReposted by @lowetide.bsky.socialDo you remember...Fludd! Formed in Toronto, from 1971 to 1975, the band had six top 40 singles in Canada, including their signature song Cousin Mary. Three members went on to form Saga and one joined Trooper. Guitarist and co-lyricist Brian Pilling died of leukemia in 1978.
@lowetide.bsky.socialHelluva game yesterday by the Oilers. Complete review here.
@lowetide.bsky.socialEdmonton Oilers’ AHL prospect defensive pairing could have NHL future
@lowetide.bsky.socialOilers at Sharks, and someone tell Ike Howard to Hit Somebody.

@lowetide.bsky.socialI had someone photoshop my face on Homer SImpson's gif with 'the end is near' sign and ringing a bell. I giggled. Of course, that isn't terribly offensive compared to what I'm sure you have had to endure. I wonder how much time these folks spend with actual women.
@lowetide.bsky.socialI just can't imagine typing a sentence out in the ether that is both untrue and cruel. Doing it all day every day would be exhausting. Suspect it's jealousy at some level. You are hilarious.
@lowetide.bsky.socialFilip Hållander lined up on the No. 2 line yesterday at Oilers practice. His final season in Sweden and his production when playing with Sidney Crosby tell us why,
@lowetide.bsky.socialSuspect it means "there's a light on there" or "mischievous smile" or some such.
@lowetide.bsky.socialOilers have Hallander and Hyman ready or close. When they play, who is coming out of the lineup? Interesting dilemma for the Oilers.
@lowetide.bsky.socialWhy the Edmonton Oilers’ trade of defence for offence is a promising deal
@lowetide.bsky.socialShow this to a Grade 7 class. I dare you.
@lowetide.bsky.socialOilers start offensively brings memories of the 1970's Bruins, Levi's style plays well in Edmonton and the club made a trade yesterday.
@lowetide.bsky.socialOilers on the road to California, and a look at the lines with an eye to Ike Howard's deployment.
@lowetide.bsky.socialWhat do the Edmonton Oilers have in rookie centre Owen Michaels?
@lowetide.bsky.socialOilers AHL team off to an interesting start, and the list of NHL players produced in Bakersfield over the last decade is quality.
