At the far outer marker of the Oilers LW pro depth chart (Dustin Penner is at the top) comes the name Vyacheslav Trukhno. Chosen in the 4th round of the 2005 Entry Draft, Trukhno delivered two terrific junior seasons at ages 18 and 19. His 20-year old AHL season started slowly (4-6...

Last week we saw a lightly filled schedule really dwindled the options down in Ultimate Hockey. This week things open up a bit more as a lot of teams have four games in the upcoming trade week. However, keep in mind that not every four game week is created equal...
Trade Watch Day 41
This is Ken Linseman. The Rat. He was small but had a big impact in pretty much every game he ever played in. A real agitator and "holler guy" he could also impact the game offensively and knew a few tricks of the trade elsewhere too.The Edmonton Oilers could use a veteran...

We had been back in Canada for a few weeks back in 2001 when I got invited to an old university pal’s place for some drinks. One of the old gang was back in town from BC for a couple of weeks and so a half dozen of us got together for some Thai takeout and some beers. A few of the...

The Edmonton Oilers defeated the visiting Minnesota Wild 5-2 on Friday, with Dustin Penner and Gilbert Brule scoring two goals each.
Okay Brule?
Gilbert Brule's numbers so far this season (and I know it's early) are pretty damn good. His boxcars (6gp, 3-2-5 +2) are rock solid, although he may owe some (or more) to his linemates. According to Gabriel Desjardins, Brule is in the best possible spot for a forward (soft...
Hard Nose the Highway
The Edmonton Oilers looked much better than I thought they would in their 2009-10 debut. Among the things that impressed me were Gilbert Brule, was skated well and looked like he knew what we was doing; Sam Gagner, who got in a fight and scored a big goal in the third period; Dustin...

The worst part is the regular season starts Thursday.
Hansen’s right hand was grotesquely misshapen after...

This is Ryan Potulny celebrating a Sam Gagner goal in January. I always wonder about men like him passing through waivers every fall without being picked up by another team.What is it? The man scored 38 goals on a team that didn't give him much help a year ago, wouldn't someone...
Oilers at Islanders, PS G5/09-10
Pat Quinn's postgame media conference had some quality insight. The best line was this one: "our veteran guys were the ones who abandoned the work, or went to individual habits early on."It's been a problem for some time, and I think it may go back to that "generation...
