Episode Details

The NHL just dropped the 2026-27 schedule—and it’s packed with surprises. For the first time since 1993-94, every team plays 84 games, meaning the Oilers face each division rival four times. Their season kicks off early, September 29th, at home against Vancouver. Travel’s brutal: three road trips of five+ games, hitting Toronto, Philly, Tampa, Carolina, and more. But home ice is sweet too—five games in October, six in January, and an epic eight-game stretch in late January/February. Ten matinee games and four home-and-home series (including the opener vs. Vancouver) add spice. Fewer back-to-backs (just 10) help players recover during the grueling 84-game grind. It’s a schedule built for drama, endurance, and fans who love a good ride.
