• Oilers lack of offence gives Nashville 3-0 win

  21-10-2018 19:59 via edmontonjournal.com
  Nashville scored twice in the second period, and that was enough to hold off the Edmonton Oilers in a lacklustre showing from the home team.
  P.K. Subban broke in on Cam Talbot and scored a shorthanded marker that took some energy out of the Oilers at 13:14,  but Viktor Arvidsson’s goal a minute and 28 seconds later put the Predators up for good.
  The Oilers fall to 3-3 on the season, while the Predators improve to 7-1. The next home game for the Oilers comes on Tuesday when Sidney Cros

  The Edmonton Oilers slid back to .500 last night, with a 3-0 loss to the Nashville Predators. Considering that the club has travelled over 20,000 kilometers and played very tough competition thus far, that’s not bad.

  Earlier this year in June the Fort McMurray detachment became one of the first to come online and with great success, Cpl. Rob Bumbry said Friday.

• Cult of Hockey game grades: Edmonton big guns fire blanks against Predators

  21-10-2018 07:56 via edmontonjournal.com
  It wasn’t such a terrible game. Yes, the Oilers lost, but they looked sharp, limiting Nashville to just three Grade A chances the entire game.
  That’s pretty heroic defence against the machine-like Preds, who are always attacking, both when they have the puck and when you have it.
  Unfortunately for the Oilers, the Predators scored on one of those Grade A shots, then they quickly scored again on a Grade B shot to make it 2-0. With Jusse Saros looking like Dominik Hasek in net, that was

  People hanging out in their Saturday best getting a little dust blown in their eyes from the gusts in the city were mostly smiles and talking to each other, and the lineups for a lot of the stores snaked around the buildings.

• Keith Gerein: Alberta Party convention offers little to get excited about

  21-10-2018 03:43 via edmontonjournal.com
  Creating a balanced and sustainable tax model.
  Saving more of Alberta’s energy revenue for a rainy day.
  Making life easier for the province’s businesses.
  That’s the substance of three “priority resolutions” passed Saturday by about 300 Alberta Party members at their fall policy convention in Edmonton.
  If you’re unimpressed, join the club.
  The motions are so vague, so deliberately unobjectionable that you’d think the party could have also approved policie

  21-10-2018 01:11 via edmontonjournal.com
  Albertans can expect a full Alberta Party election platform early next year, and leader Stephen Mandel believes it will “absolutely, unequivocally” be distinctive enough to set his party apart from the NDP and UCP.
  Around 485 party party faithful spent Saturday at the Edmonton Expo Centre voting on more than a dozen policy resolutions ahead of the 2019 election, largely centring on health care, poverty and fiscal responsibility.
