G41 Oilers at Stars

Found January 07, 2012 on Lowetide:
PLAYERS: Taylor Hall,  Jordan Eberle,  Ryan Nugent-Hopkins,  Teemu Hartikainen,  Ryan Smyth,  Ben Eager,  Darcy Hordichuk,  Sam Gagner,  Ryan Jones,  Linus Omark,  Tom Renney,  Jay Feaster,  Colton Orr
TEAMS: Edmonton Oilers,  Toronto Maple Leafs

You can see the Oilers future on display every time they play. Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and on it goes. A 220-pound Finn winger is trying to wiggle into the everyday lineup and said player has some nice things. Is there room? Who goes?Teemu Hartikainen is 220 pounds of mad Finn, and as he showed last spring the young man can impact the game down low and in populated places. They used to call these guys "corner men" or "diggers" and it's a valuable skill, especially on a team like the Edmonton Oilers. Teemu's position is LW, a slot that currently boasts Taylor Hall, Ryan Smyth, Ben Eager, Darcy Hordichuk and (in OKC) Magnus Paajarvi. Guys like Sam Gagner have played there too this season. Here's the 5x5/60 numbers by LW this season for the Oilers:Ryan Smyth 2.55Taylor Hall 1.94Ben Eager 1.61Darcy Hordichuk 1.02Magnus Paajarvi 0.67I could have included Ryan Jones in the group but am counting him as a RW in this discussion. Gagner...

Oilers at the Mid-season Mark

Via Kukla's Korner  |  January 08, 2012
The Edmonton Oilers have finished last for the last two seasons and now with injuries mounting, the team has been in a bit of slide. Some are already expecting a third 30th place finish. It’s not as though the team has not been in games through their most recent roadtrip, but a loss by one goal is still a loss. Just for fun, this is a comparison of the first half of this...

Oscar Klefbom: Golden Boy

Total Recall

Via Lowetide  |  January 09, 2012
The Edmonton Oilers have recalled Gilbert Brule, Magnus Paajarvi and Ryan O'Marra from Oklahoma City.
