One of the best offensive juggernauts in the NHL is here tonight to play some shinny with the St. Louis Blues. Yes, the high-scoring Edmonton Oilers are in town, led by the newest, brightest star in the NHL galaxy, Connor McDavid. Dubbed McSavior by adoring fans, McDavid currently leads the NHL with 39 points, and there is hope in the Big E that he can lead the Oilers to the promised land of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Perhaps a more apropos nickname would be McMoses, no?
Edmonton has a rich hockey heritage dating back to 1907 with the formation of the Alberta Amateur Hockey Association.
