Red Wings-Oilers Preview
The Edmonton Oilers' season looked to be spiraling south in a hurry, but a strong conclusion to their recent road trip suggests otherwise - especially with the team's captain back on the ice and finding a rhythm.

Reeling Edmonton Oilers welcome back Shawn Horcoff
Perhaps captain Shawn Horcoff can save the Edmonton Oilers. That reeling team desperately needs a turning point and his return from a broken knuckle could provide that.With Horcoff in the lineup this season, the Oilers are 4-2-1. Without Horcoff, the team is 4-9-4.When healthy, he anchors Edmonton’s match-up line against the opponent’s top scorers. He will resume that role when...
Richard Cloutier: Horcoff Breaks Knuckle. Will the Oilers Buckle?
Let's just get one thing straight:
It's not that I think Shawn Horcoff is a bad hockey player. In fact, he's an important player for the Edmonton Oilers. He's not their best player; wouldn't even put him in their Top 5. Maybe not even in their Top 10. Wait, let me think about this. Who is better than Horcoff on the Oilers? From best player down...and we'...

Richard Cloutier: Making the Oilers Fit Under the Cap in 2013/2014
I don't hate Shawn Horcoff.
Honest.
I hate his contract. I hate how he always seems to screw up scoring opportunities. I hate how he seems to not care if the Oilers win or lose. But do I hate Horcoff, the person...or even the player? Not at all. If his contract was $2mil per season, and if he wasn't in a leadership role, I'd absolutely want him as my 3rd line center...
Will The NHL Ever Use The Word Compromise?
from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
"There has to be compromise by them," texted Shawn Horcoff, who has been an active participant in these negotiations, but was not in New Jersey Wednesday. "If they aren't willing to move, we won't either.
"Players feel like they've done all the moving. They continually want us to come to them while giving us...
