A longtime Edmonton Oilers blog will be undergoing a name change over the next few months. Oilers Nation, which has been around since 2007, will no longer be using that name going forward. On Wednesday morning, the website announced that it will now be known as “Daily Faceoff Edmonton” as part of a major rebrand across the Nation Network.

A long-standing Edmonton Oilers franchise record is set to be broken early next season. Over the past couple of seasons, the Oilers have seen more than a few records be broken by superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Both players reached the 1,000-point plateau in each of the past two seasons, and they’ve set some incredible marks in the playoffs as well.

Former Edmonton Oilers head coach Dave Tippett had nothing but praise for Connor McDavid in a recent interview. Tippett, who coached the Oilers for parts of three seasons from 2019 to 2022, appeared on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast this week and reflected on both his playing and coaching career.

The beauty of Banff National Park is no stranger to many Albertans, and professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau was recently wowed by its scenery.

There will be a lot of eyes on Edmonton Oilers forward Vasily Podkolzin this upcoming season. The 25-year-old Russian is coming off a career year with the Oilers last season, notching 19 goals and 37 points while playing all 82 games. Podkolzin followed that up with a monster first-round playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks, where he put up three goals and six points through six games.

The Edmonton Oilers have an illustrious history filled with iconic players, but only a few can get recognized every year.

The Edmonton Oilers have no shortage of goalies heading into the season. Edmonton is already set to run a three-headed monster between the pipes, with all of Frederik Andersen, Tristan Jarry, and Devon Levi expected to stick on the NHL roster, and the prospect pipeline is jam-packed with netminders.

It seems like one of the greatest goalies in NHL history thinks pretty highly of Devon Levi. The 24-year-old Levi was traded to the Edmonton Oilers earlier this summer after spending the past six seasons in the Buffalo Sabres organization. Before that, however, he was a seventh-round draft selection of the Florida Panthers all the way back during the 2020 NHL draft.

The wait for Taylor Hall is finally over. On Thursday, the former Edmonton Oilers first overall pick celebrated his day with the Stanley Cup. And hey, it only took 989 career regular-season games, seven NHL stops, a Hart Trophy win, and multiple significant injuries before he got there.

Hockey Night in Canada, as we knew it, is gone. As was previously announced, Saturday night NHL games will be broadcast exclusively on Sportsnet in Canada going forward. It ends a tradition on CBC television that first began in 1952.

The Edmonton Oilers may not be done adding to their roster this summer. It’s been a busy offseason for GM Stan Bowman, as he has shipped off Darnell Nurse in a trade with the San Jose Sharks, revamped the goaltending with Frederik Andersen and Devon Levi, and made a number of free agent additions such as Ryan Shea and Mathieu Joseph.

Not every NHL draft pick lives up to the hype. When it comes down to it, there is no guarantee that a top draft pick will turn out to be the NHL superstar they were expected to be. Proper scouting can help teams make better bets on which player will turn out, but even the most slam-dunk choice on draft day can wind up disappointing in just a few short years.

Evander Kane got into just two fights last season with a member of the Vancouver Canucks. Now he’s dropping the gloves with an Edmonton Oilers beat writer.

The Edmonton Oilers are chock-full of players with trade protection. No-movement clauses and no-trade clauses used to be reserved for elite players, but the net has widened around the NHL.

And the cities appear to be a poorly kept secret. Walsh made this declaration via social media on Thursday, adding the names of two expansion cities: Houston and Atlanta.

A former Edmonton Oilers player will be stepping into a new role with the Toronto Maple Leafs next season. It’s been a summer of change for the Toronto Maple Leafs, who have a new GM in John Chayka, a new coach with Jim Hiller, and a number of new front-office staff. Another piece of that shuffle was finalized on Sunday, and it included Patrick O’Sullivan.

The UFC will be returning to Edmonton this fall, and we now know who will be on the fight card. UFC Fight Night will take over Rogers Place on Oct. 17 and will feature a headlining welterweight matchup between Canadian Mike Mallot and American Joaquin Buckley. The 13th-ranked Mallot is looking to enter the top 10 of the UFC welterweight rankings.

They say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. With the NHL being made up of 32 teams, it seems pretty easy for teams to come up with their own unique designs that don’t borrow too much from their competitors. Every team is equipped with their own unique logo and, while colour schemes can share similarities, design teams across the NHL have done a pretty good job of keeping each team looking fairly distinct from each other.

The Edmonton Oilers will have a new beat writer around the rink starting this fall. Months after Daniel Nugent-Bowman announced his departure from The Athletic back in January, the publication has officially found his replacement. On Tuesday morning, the online sports publication announced that it had hired Janson Duench to be its new Oilers writer for this upcoming season.

Conditions will be favourable for the development of funnel clouds today.

Conditions favourable for the development of funnel clouds will last until early this evening.

###

These types of funnel clouds are generated by weak rotation under rapidly growing clouds or weak thunderstorms. This weak rotation is normally not a danger near the ground. However, there is a chance that this rotation could intensify and become a weak landspout tornado.

If conditions become more favourable for the development of landspout tornadoes, watches and warnings will be issued by Environment Canada.

Landspout tornadoes do not usually cause significant damage but can still be dangerous. They can be strong enough to topple trees, damage roofs or toss debris short distances.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ABstorm@ec.gc.ca, call 1-800-239-0484 or post reports on social media using #ABStorm.

The day will start with clear sky through the late morning hours, transitioning to partly cloudy

Expect a day of partly cloudy with clear spells
