Oil Spills: A podcast on the Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton Journal
Oilers need to start with a POHO
Episode Notes
Hockey beat writers Rob Tychkowski and Jim Matheson join host Craig Ellingson to talk about why the Edmonton Oilers should really start the process of hiring a new general manager by first putting in place a new president of hockey operations.
Also:
- Former Oilers star Jordan Eberle has three goals in his first three playoff games with the New York Islanders. Eberle was traded to the Islanders from Edmonton after his first NHL playoff experience in 2017 with the Oilers, a scoreless 13-game affair for him.
- There's no rule that says an NHL team needs to make public what a player injury might be, but playing coy on Friday about what ails Connor McDavid's leg backfired on the Oilers after they were given the social-media gears about a definite lack of detail in their information delivered to fans and media.
