RE 09-10: Sheldon Souray

Found August 22, 2009 on Lowetide:
PLAYERS: Sheldon Souray
TEAMS: Edmonton Oilers

A look through the history books shows Sheldon Souray's 08-09 season was exceptional. His 12 powerplay goals were the most by an Oiler defender since Paul Coffey (he holds the Oiler record with 14) and his 23 goals overall is the highest total since Coffey's historic 48-goal season in 1985-86.That's some hallowed ground.Souray's shot from the point is as sure a thing as there is offensively on this roster. If it's on the net there's every chance the puck will go in unless it hits the goaltender. It's a missile.Boxcars: 81gp, 23-30-53 98pimsShots: 268Plus Minus: +1Corsi: -1.35x5/60: 1.185x4/60: 2.95GF/GA ON: 53-51Quality of competition: tougest availableQuality of pairing: 2nd level09-10 cap hit (capgeek): 5.4MWhat do these numbers tell us? His shot from the point is money. Money, money, money. No one in the wild, wild west was better than Souray in terms of goals scored and there's no reason to believe he'll fall off suddenly if he can remain heal...

RE 09-10:Lubomir Visnovsky

Via Lowetide  |  August 21, 2009
Even knowing about him (Lubo killed the Oil a time or two) could not prepare a person for the pure joy that is Lubomir Visnovsky. Confident and savvy, swift and gifted, Lubo can do all kinds of things with the puck and plays the game with abandon. He's just flat out fun.The Oilers have some good puck movers (Gilbert, Grebeshkov are solid young players) and a defender who is money...

RE 09-10: Ladislav Smid

Via Lowetide  |  August 23, 2009
Young defensemen develop by sundial. God, it's awful. I think you could make a strong argument that the Oilers would have won the Stanley if they'd had a veteran in the lineup instead of Matt Greene in spring 2006.They're always on the wrong side of the puck, they're always getting insight from the coach after they come to the bench after a shift, they always have...

RE 09-10: Denis Grebeshkov

Via Lowetide  |  August 23, 2009
One of the underrated moves by Steve Tambellini this summer was the one-year deal for Denis Grebeshkov. He took a big step forward and the former GM would probably have paid in full at that time. Tambellini no doubt sees a need to offload someone this year before signing the Russian to a longer term deal at big money.It gives the organization a chance to have another year of viewing...

PP Scoring Amongst Juniors

Via Mudcrutch79 Hockey  |  August 23, 2009
Sometime in the next month or so, Rob Schremp’s time as an Edmonton Oiler is likely to come to an end. I have no particular feeling about that - while I’ve never really been a fan of the guy, I like the Oilers, so if he turned into Brett Hull, that would have been [...]

RE 09-10: Tom Gilbert

Via Lowetide  |  August 22, 2009
For those who believe you can't be young, unique, have personality and a lust for life while playing hockey for the Edmonton Oilers, allow me to present Mr. Tom Gilbert.Much like a rock star, there seems to be a gap between what he "is" and what he "represents." What he "is" at this point is an outstanding hockey player: Tom Gilbert might be the...

Northwest Division Center Rankings

Via Bleacher Report  |  August 22, 2009
The Northwest Division is known for its goaltending and defense. The division also has some very good forwards, especially at the center position. Shawn Horcoff has quietly become a very good NHL player for the Edmonton Oilers...Read the full article on Bleacher Report...

RE 09-10: The Blue

Via Lowetide  |  August 23, 2009
The Oilers current blue is very, very good. It's the best group of 7 since the Stanley run and remember a bunch of those guys were acquired late in the 2006 season.The Oilers lack a "complete" player like Chris Pronger, but they have 4 quality defensemen who form the heart of the current team. In Sheldon Souray, Lubomir Visnovsky, Tom Gilbert and Denis Grebeshkov Edmonton...
