Not A Gambler By Nature

Found November 02, 2011 on Black Dog Hates Skunks:
PLAYERS: Corey Potter,  Lennart Petrell,  Ryan Smyth,  Tom Renney,  Eric Belanger,  Ales Hemsky,  Sam Gagner,  Linus Omark
TEAMS: Edmonton Oilers

Other than heavy drinking and the anonymous sex when I was a young man I've never been much of a risk taker. I have a fairly strong sense of self preservation and based on the fact that I have sperm of steel I have been apparently hardwired to try and go forth and multiply.I don't like flying. I don't like high speeds. Roller coasters? Forget it. You'd never catch me jumping off of a bridge tied to a big rubber band or jumping out of an airplane or any of that type of ****. Never mind that I might end up in pieces on the ground, I'm also concerned that the old ticker might explode in my chest. Same reason I avoid cocaine.I'm all for enjoying life, I just don't get off on thrills and spills. I like your general pleasures that life affords - eating, drinking, *******, the beauty of the outdoors, having a family and friends - that's just the way I'm built.Here's the thing. I found out this summer that even the most mundane of pursuits have become...

And Now For Something Completely Different

Via Lowetide  |  November 01, 2011
I would like to take this moment to thank the Edmonton Oilers. For awhile there, it really seemed like rational decisions were the norm and that one could predict their roster moves by using logic and reason. The Edmonton Oilers have demoted Linus Omark to OKC. According to this Swedish article (using google translate) Omark says "we'll see what it leads to" and I assume...

Oilers' Sutton suspended 5 games

Via AP on Fox  |  November 01, 2011
Edmonton Oilers defenseman Andy Sutton was suspended five games by NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan on Tuesday. Sutton delivered an elbow to the head of Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog early in the third period of Edmonton's 3-1 victory Friday. The Oilers' defenseman was assessed a minor penalty for elbowing on the play. Sutton sat out Sunday's 4-2 win...

Decision 2012

Via Lowetide  |  November 01, 2011
Ales Hemsky is one week away (or so) from returning to the Oilers. One of the most important decisions in this season (and the last few years) is what to do with 83. He's a world class entertainer, he can do things others cannot, he helps offensively on a team that (even in the current heady days) badly needs it. Signing Hemsky would give the Oilers exceptional depth on the skill...

Richard Cloutier: Bizzare Love Triangle

Via HockeyBuzz  |  November 02, 2011
Some interesting stories regarding the Edmonton Oilers right now: I am hearing Ales Hemsky should be ready to return to action when the Oilers return from their six-game road trip (approximately two weeks from now). Once Hemsky is ready to go, he'll play on the Geezer line with Shawn Horcoff and Ryan Smyth. Provided Hemsky can stay healthy, the Oilers will have a quality 1...

Oilers’ Sutton suspended five games, but Landeskog says he should have kept head up

Via All Things Avs  |  November 01, 2011
Edmonton defenseman Andy Sutton got the Shanaban treatment today, getting a five-game suspension for his hit the other night on Avs rookie Gabriel Landeskog. I said some harsh things about Sutton in a blog on the matter the other day, and while I’m not backing down on my belief that Sutton is not a very good player and that he deserved a suspension, throwing out 20-25 games...

Kings Come Out Flat In Loss To Streaking Edmonton Oilers

Via Rant Sports  |  November 04, 2011
After piecing together back-to-back disappointing performances, both resulting in losses, you would think the Kings might have come out with some fire for Thursday’s tilt with the Edmonton Oilers. That didn’t happen. As poorly as the Kings have played lately, Thursday was an even bigger disappointment, as the Oilers controlled most of the game throughout, leaving Los...

NHL Results: Even Strength

Written by: R.C. Sutton  Welcome back to Even Strength.  If you missed my inaugural article and the run down on how this works, I have two things for you:  1. Scroll further down the NHL home page of FreeTheSportsman.com page and read it, you’ll love it.  2.  The way we do this is to look at the three of the NHL’s most interesting stories (as decided by me) and break them...

G12 Oilers at Kings

Via Lowetide  |  November 03, 2011
In the early days of expansion, the city of angels pursued "name" hockey players just like New York City. Because of it, most of the early stars for the Los Angeles Kings were acquired for picks and prospects. It did not go well in the standings. Rogie Vachon was a helluva goalie, and Marcel Dionne (above photo) was an exceptional offensive talent. The universal draft was...
