I think we have seen more of these types of hits this season than any other. I am not really sure why players can’t seem to avoid making that push from behind.
Lennart Petrell of the Oilers received 5 minutes for checking from behind and a game.

I think this was a bad hit, I think Petrel should have been at least suspended because it was a dangerous hit, but I am not surprised that that hit didn't garner a suspension. I also said this last night.

The announcement that Edmonton Oilers’ winger Lennart Petrell would receive no further suspension following his hit Thursday night on Wild defenceman Marek Zidlicki was not made as a breaking news comment on TSN, ESPN or any other sports channel. It was instead a simple tweet from NHL Senior VP Player Safety Brendan Shanahan. Sportsnet’s Mark Spector pointed out how quickly...

December 21, 2011
Edmonton Oilers fans simply cannot be happy with the way the NHL season has unfolded thus far. This is a hockey team that flew out of the gate in October, 9-4-2 in their first 15 games. It is unbelievable that this is the same Edmonton Oilers team now, 5-13-1 in their last 19 games. There has been virtually no improvement over last season. The Edmonton Oilers are steadily...

Oilers' Paajarvi happy with his demotion
Magnus Paajarvi is being optimistic at a time when many players would be pessimistic.
Drafted two years ago by Edmonton, there was lots of hope that the left wing could be one of the young players to help lead the Oilers back to respectability.
While Paajarvi was serviceable in last year's rookie campaign, he was spending far too much time this season munching on press box...

Being an Edmonton Oilers fan born after the glory years has not been easy. We suffered through years of mediocrity and terrible drafting in the ’90’s, rode a wave of momentum all the way to the Cup finals in 2006, and then came crashing down once Mr. Pronger asked for his way out of town.
After the run to the Cup, things got really bad in the City of Champions. The Oilers started...

This was the perfect game for 2011 1st round Swedish defenceman draft pick Oscar Klefbom to see his NHL team, the Edmonton Oilers, play live. Klefbom and several members of the Sweden U20 team took in an NHL game in the same building they will play in Friday night while facing Team Canada in another preliminary game and what a game it was. According to Dan Tencer of 630 Ched, several...

I got into an interesting conversation today with a friend. The discussion surrounded what the Oilers might want in return for Ales Hemsky. I've operated under the assumption that Hemsky leaving would mean the Oilers getting an established defender in return. My buddy suggests the Oilers badly need a power forward, or at least a forward with size to add a physical element to...

Oilers vs. Wild. Oh, this should be fun.
Hey, since we're gonna lose anyway, we should have some fun with it. Please Tom Renney, do the following:
1. Mix Up the Forward Lines. We need to trade a few people, but it's hard to do that when they aren't getting points. So let's mix up the lines.
For tonight, how about...
