(Video) Mike Rupp will not be suspended by the NHL for taking run at Corey Potter
It was pretty obvious that the Edmonton Oilers were taking runs at Zach Parise during the third period of last night's game. I guess when you're a team that isn't going to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs, you might as well try to hurt the other team's star players right. I guess, your team can still have an effect on the out come of the playoff field right?

Wild down to one game to qualify for playoffs
ST. PAUL, Minn. The stakes were simple: Win, and the Minnesota Wild were in the playoffs.
Nobody saw this coming.
The Wild played perhaps their most disappointing game of the season Friday night, falling 6-1 to the visiting Edmonton Oilers, who have already been eliminated from postseason contention. Minnesota now has just one more game Saturday at Colorado in which to clinch...

Wild fail to clinch playoff berth
Corey Potter and Nail Yakupov both scored two goals, and the Edmonton Oilers prevented the Minnesota Wild from clinching a spot in the Western Conference playoffs with a 6-1 rout on Friday night.
Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle each added a goal and two assists for the Oilers, who won for the second time in 11 games but will miss the playoffs for the seventh straight season. Nikolai...
Edmonton Up 6-0 On Minnesota After 2 Periods
I think the Wild TV crew is getting tired of calling Edmonton goals.
The first by Corey Potter 27 seconds in to the game...
Fast foward to the middle of the 2nd period, Nail Yakupov makes it 5-0 Edmonton... Continue reading "Edmonton Up 6-0 On Minnesota After 2 Periods"
Richard Cloutier: Oilers Improve the Defense in Four Steps
Here's my plan today if I'm Steve Tambellini:
Step 1: Apparently defenseman Jamie McBain and Carolina Head Coach Kirk Muller don't get along. With the Pitkanen injury yesterday, the 'Canes could use two defensemen in return. The Oilers have eight D with the team, so they can make a 2 for 1 here. Oilers offer Ryan Whitney and Corey Potter to the Hurricanes for McBain...
Preds use goal scoring and a huge penalty kill to beat Oilers…
Three wins in a row. Something, just a week ago, you didn’t think you’d say about the Nashville Predators until next season. But, thanks to a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night, you can say now.
In front of the 28th consecutive sellout crowd inside Bridgestone Arena, Pekka Rinne turned aside 24 Oilers shots en route to his 13th win of the year.
After a really soft...
Richard Cloutier: The Corey Potter Blog

I didn't realize anyone actually read my blogs or took them seriously until I created a Twitter account. You'll notice on my blogs, I pretty much have the same group of 15-20 people who leave comments. Outside of that group...
Mike Richter Traded...to the Oilers?
In a trip down memory lane, and to break up the monotony of the lockout, Jonathan Willis of the Edmonton Journal recollects the time back in 2002 when, for a day, Rangers goalie Mike Richter was a member of the Edmonton Oilers.
..."For one day in 2002, Richter was a member of the Edmonton Oilers. By curious coincidence, the player the Oilers traded to add Richter to...
A Sign The Oilers Will Be OK
The Edmonton Oilers season hasn’t been a good one. They are second last in the league. This is an improvement over the previous two seasons where they finished in dead last, but it’s not a good year. There is one sign that things will be okay in the near future. Edmonton has the top power play in the league with a 22.0% success rate.
Power play is a place where players...

Red Wings’ Niklas Kronwall with a clean hit on Ales Hemsky
Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall landed a clean butt check on Ales Hemsky of the Edmonton Oilers. Kronwall was bloodied by Corey Potter and Hemsky had to go to the “quiet room” but has nothing more than a little cut on his upper lip—and Kronwall never left his feet:
It’s The Battle Of Michigan Too
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail, Considering it’s a meeting between the Western Conference’s 11th and 14th place teams, it may be overstating matters to describe Saturday’s matchup between the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers as the Battle of Alberta. For now, call it the minor altercation of Alberta, which has a new oddball subtext, thanks to Calgary’s recent...
Handsome Edmonton Oilers Forward Taylor Hall Ain’t So Handsome Anymore
During pre-game warmups prior to facing off against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Oilers forward Taylor Hall was involved in a freakishly scary accident that saw teammate Corey Potter step on Hall’s face while trying to hurdle his fallen mate who had collided with Ladislav Smid. Hall suffered a massive cut just above his eye that required 30 stitches to close up, but all things...
Edmonton Oilers’ Taylor Hall Healing Just Fine After Skate To Face
Oilers left winger Taylor Hall took a skate across his head the other night in Columbus – during warmups. A freak fall resulted in Hall taking out his teammate and Corey Potter trying to avoid the bodies strewn across the ice. No chance. Potter’s skate clipped Hall’s head and you now get a look at what a skate can do to a face. Not a good look.

After this horror show, Taylor Hall’s mom said he’ll wear a helmet in warm-ups (Photo)
Taylor Hall is doubtful for Thursday night's Edmonton Oilers game against the St. Louis Blues because AAAAAAARRRRRGH OMG!
That horror show is a result of Hall getting sliced on the head by the skate of teammate Corey Potter on Tuesday night in Columbus, during a mishap in warm-ups. TSN reported that Hall required 30 stitches from an on-site plastic surgeon.
Hall wasn't made...
Leafs May Wear Helmets In Pre-Game Skate
from Mark Zwolinski and Joseph Hall of the Toronto Star, A gruesome skate-to-the-face gash on Taylor Hall’s forehead may well put helmets on all Toronto Maple Leafs during the team’s pre-game warm-ups.
“I’m thinking about it,” said coach Ron Wilson when asked if he’d make helmets mandatory.
“You look at what happened (to Hall) and it was scary, it could have been...
Edmonton's Taylor Hall takes skate to face during warmups
The Oilers rising star Taylor Hall had a bit of scary mishap during warmups before yesterday's game when he slipped on a puck and took out a teammate before sliding into the endboards, where teammate Corey Potter attempted to jump over the two to avoid them. Instead, Potter's skate caught Hall above the eye, opening up a gash that required Hall to miss the game and...
Richard Cloutier: Hall Goes Chucky; Oilers Still Sucky
Poor Taylor Hall. Poor Oilers. The curse lives on.
So there he is, Taylor Hall, skating around in warm-up. No helmet. Why wear a helmet? Those aren't fashionable? Wouldn't want to look nerdy out there. It's just the warm-up. What could possibly happen?
Corey Potter's skate, meet Taylor Hall's face. And it's a good thing he's a Taylor, because they...
Taylor Hall Cut in the Face By a Skate During Warm-Ups
The NHL is a dangerous sport, so much so that the players can find ways to injure themselves badly even during warm-ups. Taylor Hall of the Edmonton Oilers slipped on a puck and fell into teammate Corey Potter during warm-ups at Nationwide Arena in Columbus. The end result was Hall taking Potter’s blade to his face and leaving a fairly deep cut right above his eye. I am...
SCARY SITUATION
Video: Taylor Hall takes skate to face
A routine pre-game warm-up skate turned pretty scary for Edmonton Oilers young gun Taylor Hall. Hall, who must have been working on a triple lutz, fell and teammate Corey Potter skating behind him tried to get out of the way. He obviously couldn't. The 20-year old first overall pick of the 2010 NHL Draft was ruled out for the game and was taken to a local hospital for stitches...
Taylor Hall takes teammate’s skate to face during warmups (Video)
Injuries happen now and again during warmups, but what happened with Edmonton Oilers forward Taylor Hall tonight before their game against the Columbus Blue Jackets can only be described as freak.
