ALEX PLANTE RUMORS & GOSSIP

Weise hit on Plante - no suspension.

This is the hit that Vancouver forward Dale Weise put on Edmonton defenseman Alex Plante. The NHL has ruled that this was a shoulder to shoulder hit, and I concur. The head coach of the Edmonton Oilers Tom Renney wasn't very pleased with the hit and said that a suspension might be in order. Asked about the hit by Vancouver forward Dale Weise on Edmonton d-man Alex Plante in...

Oilers D Plante KO'd vs. Canucks

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Alex Plante was knocked out of Monday's game against Vancouver after absorbing a jarring hit from Canucks left wing Dale Weise.

Alex Plante 10-11: It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry

Alex Plante could do everyone an enormous favor by turning into an NHL player. The Oilers no doubt hoped he was raw on the way to praw but it's a long process. Plante has shown progress since turning pro and would appear to be the next man up on the prospect chain. The club devoted at-bats to the 2006 duo (Peckham-Petry) this year so the 2007 1st rder would be next up. Looking...

The Plante Family

This is Cam Plante. He and some family members drove all the way from Manitoba in 6 hour shifts (that's a long drive, I've done it. Miles and miles of miles and miles) to get to Alex Plante's first big league game. Gene interviewed him during the game last night and Dad sounded proud of his boy and for good reason. The odds against your son making the NHL are enormous...

Plante Gets Call?

I can't find it anywhere other than the Falcons gamesheet, but it looks like Alex Plante is going to be recalled to the Oilers today.His performance has improved over the last while but it's extremely unlikely that he'll play a lot in the show this week. The Oilers have a few blueliners with injury troubles (Souray, Staios, Smid) and they're already trying to shelter...

#15 Prospect: Alex Plante

Current Rank: #15Summer 2009: #5In dropping Alex Plante a cool 10 points in the standings there are two major items in play: first, there are more prospects having good seasons in 2009-10. Second, the step from amateur talent to AHL defender is a big one for these 20-year olds and Plante is no exception. When he played in junior, a friend of mine who scouts for an AJHL team told...
