I-35 Update

Found December 28, 2011 on Lowetide:
PLAYERS: Josh Green,  Kirill Tulupov,  Gilbert Brule,  Teemu Hartikainen,  Hunter Tremblay,  Alex Plante,  Chris Vande Velde,  Tanner House,  Tyler Pitlick,  Taylor Chorney,  Curtis Hamilton,  Linus Omark,  Colten Teubert,  Antti Tyrvainen,  Milan Kytnar,  Johan Motin,  Cameron Abney,  Ryan Martindale
TEAMS: Edmonton Oilers

The OKC Barons lost last night, but there is good news on the pro prospect front. Last night in the middle of the first period, two young Barons rang shots off the post. Magnus Paajarvi--in OKC to find his confidence and some swagger--hit iron and then Teemu Hartikainen--back after missing 10 games--did the same. "We had great chances, it's just one of those things that happens" said head coach Todd Nelson. Phil Cornet also returned to action, he was the hottest shooter in the territory when injured, and veteran Josh Green scored a goal in his first game back (from suspension and illness) after being parked for 5.We know from what Gabe Desjardins' taught us that about 45% of AHL offense should come with the player should he make the NHL. Here are the AHL numbers for the Oilers various prospects (I'm including Kirill Tulupov because I think it's only a matter of time before they add him to the 50 man list). Phil Cornet (25, 15-3-18) forced his way into the c...

(Last Chance for) Hearts of Stone

Via Lowetide  |  December 27, 2011
As the reality of another lost season grips fans of the Edmonton Oilers, the time has come to talk of "next year": the draft, the men who offer hope and finally a defensive pairing worthy of the Oildrop.

G36 Oilers at Wild

Via Lowetide  |  December 29, 2011
Small victories are big steps. The Edmonton Oilers have some maturation on defense and youngsters learning on the job in Edmonton and in Oklahoma. As with all of these things, you never know about specific players but (as they say) if you throw enough on the wall some will stick. The Oilers fanbase would have loved Jim Dorey. Seriously. He played the game in black and white with...
