The day this photo was taken there were a lot of questions about Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Was he really the best available selection? Was he NHL ready? How much impact would he have in his 9-game audition before the Oilers had to make a decision on him?Edmonton calling Red Deer: he's not coming back.In the short, rich history of this team, I don't think anyone can argue Smyth...

Sometimes, I'm downright ashamed of some of my regular readers. I can't believe any of you ever doubted the Oilers for selecting Ryan Nugent-Hopkins first overall in June. For shame! Anyway, the Oilers lost tonight against the Vancouver Canucks, which wasn't a surprising outcome. What was a surprise is 18 year-old Oilers rookie center scoring his first NHL hat-trick in...

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is certainly showing the Oilers that they did not make a mistake by taking him first overall in the 2011 draft.

Hello, this is a feature that will run through the entire season and aims to recap the weekend's events and boils those events down to one admittedly superficial fact or stupid opinion about each team. Feel free to complain about it.

The Nuge was huge for Edmonton, and it still wasn't enough.
Sami Salo scored twice and the Vancouver Canucks overcame a hat trick by rookie sensation Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to beat the Oilers 4-3 on Saturday night.
Henrik Sedin and Alexandre Burrows each added a goal for the Canucks, who improved to 2-2-1 after losing to Boston in the Stanley Cup finals last season.

Oilers beat Predators 3-1 in regulation
In the past, the Edmonton Oilers had trouble beating the Nashville Predators. Last year, the curse was broken; the team found wins, and it was even Linus Omark who scored a game winning goal. This is a whole new year, with all new issues. Several Oilers were looking for their first goals because Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had 4 of the Oilers 5 goals...

Conditions change in the NHL quite rapidly. Last week, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was the undersized center who couldn't win a faceoff; one hat trick later, he's a national sensation getting teased on CBC about his resemblance to Ellen Page. Last week, the Florida Panthers were a hastily constructed oddity; after two wins against Tampa, they're beloved fan favorites.
