Edmonton Oiler Connor Brown is scripting a fine redemption story in the playoffs after a disappointing regular season, which saw him take nearly five months to find the back of the net for the first time.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling down when the Oilers were trailing 2-0 after five and a half minutes of play. A lot of us were down. If you read the Nation’s mentions on social media, some of us thought it was the end of the world.
The Oilers rallied from a two-goal deficit for a 5-2 win over the Stars on Wednesday night at Rogers Place to tie the Western Conference Final at two games each.
The Oilers failed to bring a 60-minute effort and the Dallas Stars made them pay. To repeat the script from the previous two games momentum went instantly into the hand of the Oilers, except this time Edmonton paired that pressure with a two-goal lead.
Jason Robertson had gone 10 games without a goal, but that changed on Monday night.
The Dallas Stars won the battle of attrition in Game 2 against the Edmonton Oilers, ultimately coming away with a hard-fought 3-1 victory, evening up the Western Conference Final at one game apiece.
Let’s go back. Way back to the spring of 1990 when people ate Tic Tacs rather than consuming TikTok. When Doc Brown (no relation to Connor Brown) and Marty
The Edmonton Oilers showed up and showed out in a double overtime victory over the Dallas Stars Thursday night. The narrative coming into this series is that the Oilers’ depth wouldn’t be a match for the Stars, but in Game 1, they showed they could hold their own.
After a disappointing Game 4 loss, there is no weakness more glaring than what happened to this Vancouver Canucks top power play unit. It hasn’t been all bad this series, as they’ve converted on three of their nine opportunities through their first three games.
The Oilers will be loading the wagon in Game 3, much like they did the game prior, keeping Leon Draisaitl on the top line against the Canucks. Banged up in Game 1, Drasiatil was questionable for Game 2 but ended up not just playing but ripping Vancouver apart all night en route to a 4-3 win in overtime.
Adam Henrique has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Vancouver Canucks. The Edmonton Oilers forward played 11:38 in Game 2, but isn’t over a lingering lower-body issue and needs more time to rest.
Connor Brown will slot in for the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday as their series with the Vancouver Canucks kicks off. Adam Henrique isn’t medically cleared to play, so Brown will get the call.
The Edmonton Oilers have some pretty good players sitting in their press box. Eliminating the Los Angeles Kings in five games, they did so without the services of Connor Brown, Sam Gagner, and Sam Carrick (although Carrick started the series).
It’s the time of year when things begin to ramp up to another level. For teams that are vying for playoff spots, have theirs locked up, or are jockeying for divisional positioning, every single night matters as game one of the playoffs approaches.
I don’t know about you, but I woke up Saturday morning feeling good. The Oilers clinched the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year the night before in thanks to a dominant performance over the Colorado Avalanche.
When your top guns aren’t running right for a game, it’s always nice to have young talent throughout your roster to help supplement things and secure another victory as the playoffs near.
It’s time to have the conversation. What conversation, you may ask? Well, it’s time to write whether or not the Edmonton Oilers should re-sign Connor Brown at season’s end.
It didn’t need to be pretty. When you’re still searching for your first goal of the season in Game 55, you’ll take whatever you can get. So the jubilation
