Richard Cloutier: Spillage! June 19 Edition
So much stuff going on with the Oilers right now, I'm about to explode.
Thank You and About Time
The Oilers announced today that they have re-signed forward Lennart Petrell to a one-year contract. Aside from Petrell being a decent penalty killer, he can play all three different forward positions...which makes him a possible replacement at center for Eric Belanger, once the...
Richard Cloutier: Lennart Petrell Wants to Be Your Sledgehammer
"I want to be your sledgehammer. Why don't you call my name?"
You may have noticed at the trade deadline the Vancouver Canucks dealt the ridiculously talented Cody Hodgson for a skating fridge named Zack Kassian. Why? I mean, on paper, this looks like an awful deal for Vancouver.
Kassian is gonna be their sledgehammer. Last season in the final round of the Stanley...
Lenny and the Jets
Oilers beat Jets 5-3
This was the Edmonton Oilers’ first trip to Winnipeg in 16 years, but it’s funny how some things remain the same. While the Jets put up a good fight, the Oilers saw scoring from all positions and made this look like an easy two points.
There was also an unexpected Finn who earned what looked to be an easy two points; Lennart Petrell. Petrell has never...
Oilers 5, Jets 3
The Edmonton Oilers didn't let the loud crowd get to them in Winnipeg.
Taylor Hall and Lennart Petrell each had a goal and an assist as the Oilers scored four straight third-period goals to hand Winnipeg a 5-3 loss Monday night.
''I thought we played really well,'' said Edmonton goalie Devan Dubnyk, who made 27 saves. ''It's obviously one of the...

No Suspension for Lennart Petrell
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 and...
Lennart Petrell will not be suspended
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.
While Lennart Petrell's hit On Marek Zidlicky might not have appeared to be malicious, it's unnecessary, it's a dangerous hit and it's also a hit that...
Lennart Petrell With A Push From Behind On Marek Zidlicky
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.
Lennart Petrell's questionable hit On Marek Zidlicky
While Lennart Petrell's hit On Marek Zidlicky might not have appeared to be malicious, it's unnecessary, it's a dangerous hit and it's also a hit that has to be removed from the NHL.
It's hits like this that can cause serious injury, to include unneeded and unnecessary concussions.If a player is going to check an opposition player and he sees number, that...
Lennart Skennard
For those of us who remember the player-type known as the '2-way winger' this summer was a watershed. Adding veteran Ryan Smyth--not strictlly a 2-way forward but he can do the job--will be a gigantic help, and this Lennart Petrell fellow might also be a Godsend. At least three times during preseason, 'the Petrell' has played ballhawk on the PK in the neutral zone...
