TEAMS: Edmonton Oilers
We did this a couple of weeks ago but the Oilers road trip, injuries and zero talk about an Ales Hemsky extension get us here. The Oilers will be active from now to the deadline. Book it.INJURYThe road trip was a disaster on all levels, but losing RNH, Gilbert and Eberle is especially cruel. Edmonton sent down Teemu Hartikainen and Josh Green after the game and it's reasonable that they'll recall two or three after that game (Oilers play Wedn, OKC doesn't play again until Friday). I spoke to coach Todd Nelson yesterday and he was strong on several players. He told me that Hartikainen had worked very hard in his time in OKC, that Magnus Paajarvi had done everything asked and was making things happen. He also took time to sing the praises of Ryan O'Marra, Tanner House and Chris VandeVelde and we discussed the key to Phil Cornet's success (pretty much all of his goals are coming from in-close, those high traffic areas). I'd estimate the recalls could come from t...

G41 Oilers at Stars
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...
Kristians Pelss at the 2012 WJC
Edmonton Oil King and Edmonton Oilers’ prospect Kristians Pelss was named the Team Captain for his country, Latvia in the 2012 IIHF World Juniors Tournament. For Pelss, being the team captain, the only player drafted into the NHL, a player currently playing in Alberta, and one of the few players on the team that speaks English fluently made him a very popular man with the media...
Oilers at the Mid-season Mark
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...
Total Recall
The Edmonton Oilers have recalled Gilbert Brule, Magnus Paajarvi and Ryan O'Marra from Oklahoma City. We can imply a few things from this transaction, including the fact that Teemu Hartikainen and Josh Green didn't impress enough in their latest cup of coffee. We await news today on Jordan Eberle's injury, and there's a chance Brule won't get through waivers.
D-man tops Oilers' list
The general manager of the Edmonton Oilers is "actively shopping" for an experienced defenseman, according to Eric Francis of the Calgary Sun. GM Steve Tambellini could try to swing a multi-player deal involving either winger Ales Hemsky or center Sam Gagner. The Carolina Hurricanes and Toronto Maple Leafs are rumored to be interested in dealing a blue-liner.There's...
Half Time Stats
Who's Zoomin' who? Which of the Oilers young forwards is delivering the best season in 11-12? How much is RNH's 5x4 worth?There are many in the Oilogosphere better able to answer these questions, but the old man would like to have a lash which can also serve as a mid-season reference. Everything here is courtesy Gabriel Desjardins and his brilliant work at behind the...
Rookies
Despite appearances, the Edmonton Oilers are relying far less on rookies this NHL season.

Edmonton Oilers coach Tom Renney says Steve Ott should be suspended
Anton Lander of the Edmonton Oilers got rocked by Steve Ott of the Dallas Stars on Saturday.
It was hard, fast, and a blind-sided hit. It even caused a ruckus between the two teams. And Oilers coach Tom Reeney says the hit to his player warrants a Shanaban.
Here’s what happened via the Score:
Ott received a two-minute penalty for the hit, and five for the fight.
Renney simply...
Richard Cloutier: Oilers Call-up 2; Attempt to Call-Up a Third
Thanks to the 101 injuries the Oilers currently have, this morning they called up from the minors Magnus Paajarvi and Ryan O'Marra. They also placed forward Gilbert Brule on re-entry waivers, with the intention of calling him up tomorrow if he clears.
My instant-analysis is as follows:
Paajarvi - Rumor is, the Oilers will give him an opportunity to play on one of the top...
Richard Cloutier: That Was the Best Oilers Game Ever
I'm tired of being negative about the Oilers.
They are great. Really, really great. Super great. Wonderful. Best hockey team ever.

Here's the Good, the Gooder, and the Goodest (instead of my usual Good, Bad and Ugly)
