Oilers Secretive Of New Victory Song, "Pink Pony Club"
EDMONTON – 'I'm gonna keep on dancing.' The Edmonton Oilers and La Bamba have been a match made in hockey heaven. It's such a great match that the Oilers have flags with 'La Bamba' on them. Bookmark The Hockey News Edmonton Oilers team site to never miss the latest news, game-day coverage, and more. However, this season is a new year, and at some point, La Bamba was swapped out for a new jingle. Advertisement Say hello to 'Pink Pony Club.'

Advertisement The hit single by Chappell Roan has become the anthem of every Oilers victory. When they finish a game with more goals than their opponents, the lyrics to Pink Pony Club can be heard emanating from their locker room before the media is allowed in. I would know…I've heard it myself countless times. But that's not the only time it's being played around Rogers Place. In the dying seconds of Game 3, it was playing for everyone on the ice surface and in the stands to hear. When Evan Bouchard and Trent Frederick spoke to the media on Monday, they were asked about the origin of Pink Pony Club. Their answer? "We're going to keep that one between the team," Bouchard revealed after exchanging a knowing glance (and a smile) with Frederick. Advertisement On Tuesday night, the Oilers put a damper on the Dallas Stars' hopes of getting back into their series. After 60 minutes had been played, the Oilers walked away with a 4-1 victory. I have a sneaking suspicion that I know what's being played in that locker room tonight after that victory. Add us to your Google News favourites, and never miss a story.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov Wins Ted Lindsay Award – Is The Hart Trophy Next?
Tampa Bay Lightning right winger Nikita Kucherov won the Ted Lindsay Award as the most outstanding player in the NHL this season. This is Kucherov's second time winning the Ted Lindsay after his fellow members of the NHL Players' Association also voted him as the recipient in 2018-19. Advertisement Much like Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov, who received the Selke Trophy and King Clancy Trophy, Kucherov received the trophy as a surprise with his teammates and other staff in the room. The Russian forward was called into GM Julien BriseBois' office while the rest of the team gathered outside the room with the Ted Lindsay Award. In BriseBois' conversation with Kucherov, he suggested there is an award show in Los Angeles and asked Kucherov if he wanted the trophy delivered to him instead of travelling to California. 'What trophy?' Kucherov asked. 'Well, if you win one,' BriseBois replied. Advertisement 'Oh, which is none,' Kucherov said. After that conversation ended, Lightning captain Victor Hedman stood in the other room with his teammates and team staff, holding the Ted Lindsay Award. Kucherov had a big smile on his face as Hedman presented the trophy to him. 'Without you guys, I wouldn't have this, so thanks a lot to all of you and, you know, the rest of the guys, it really means a lot to me,' Kucherov said to those in the room. Kucherov is now the confirmed winner of the Ted Lindsay and the Art Ross Trophy after leading the NHL with 121 points. He's also won the Art Ross Trophy in 2023-24 and in 2018-19. Nikita Kucherov (Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images) But Kucherov could still win another award. Advertisement Kucherov is also a finalist for the Hart Trophy as 'the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team." He also won that award in 2018-19. Edmonton Oilers center Leon Draisaitl and Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck are the other finalists for the Hart. The winner for that award will be announced during the NHL's one-hour show on Thursday, June 12, at 6 p.m. ET. That said, Kucherov winning the Ted Lindsay could suggest another Hart Trophy win is on the way. It's fairly common for the Ted Lindsay winner to receive the Hart Trophy as well. In the last six seasons, the same player won both awards. There have only been separate winners of the awards twice since 2012-13. Advertisement Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon won both last year. After him, it was Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews, McDavid again, Draisaitl and Kucherov.
