HE'S GOT THE MOVES
Datsyuk undresses defender, scores
Jeff Petry might want to file sexual harassment charges because Pavel Datsyuk absolutely undressed him. At the 3:39 mark of OT Pavel Datsyuk took pass from Johan Franzen and really did what he does best, making the opposing defense look silly to eventually light the lamp giving the Wings a 3-2 win. After being down 2-0 it looked like the Wings were on their way to their 4th straight...
Pavel Datsyuk scores a “Datsyukian” game-winner
After tying the game with an “own goal,” Jeff Petry wasn’t done letting his team down. In overtime against the Detroit Red Wings, Petry was turned completely inside out by Pavel Datsyuk. After doing so, Datsyuk fired a beautiful shot short-side high blocker past Devan Dubnyk. The “Datsyukian” goal against the Edmonton Oilers broke Datsyuk’s 11 game goalless streak...

The Cult of Hockey profiles Dillon Simpson
The Cult of Hockey has an interesting article on UND junior defenseman Dillon Simpson.
Edmonton Oilers Prospects #12: Dillon Simpson
There was some reflexive complaining about nepotism in Edmonton after they drafted Simpson in the fourth round of the 2011 Draft, but it was largely muted and for good reason: Simpson looks like he’s going to be a player on merit, not...
Richard Cloutier: Petry Sittin' Purty; Dubey is Scooby
On Thursday, Oilers GM Steve Tambellini locked up two key players when he re-signed goaltender Devan Dubnyk and defenseman Jeff Petry to two-year deals. Set Dubnyk's cap hit to $3.5mil per season, and Petry at $1.75mil per. Good deals?
Not bad.
I think it's an overpayment for Dubnyk, but at least the signing clears up any confusion that could exist as to what the plan...
Oilers re-sign Dubnyk, Petry

Richard Cloutier: Operation Dubey Shield: Part 1
In Edmonton, the defense doesn't rest. Actually, it sucks. This is not to say things can't be fixed for the 2012/2013 season. Over the next two or three weeks, Oilers GM Steve Tambellini has some work to do.
Question: The Defense...how bad is it? When we speak about "fixing the D" what are we actually saying?
Answer: Ladislav Smid, Jeff Petry and Nick Schultz...
Can Tambellini finish what he started?
This week, the Edmonton Oilers made a bold move and extended oft-criticized GM Steve Tambellini to a multi-year pact. Tambellini, hired almost four years ago as the successor to Oilers legend Kevin Lowe, has yet to prove himself as a league general manager, but his legacy is only beginning.If you ask Oilers fans if they agree with the signing, chances are they do not. Late in the...

One More Defenceman Isn’t a Solution
The summer to do list of the Edmonton Oilers must look a little something like this:
1. Improve defence
2. ???
3. Playoffs
Through the 2011-12 season the Oilers faced a number of challenges, most of those stemmed from a weak defensive core. Especially with Ryan Whitney lost somewhat long term to a nagging ankle injury, and then a knee injury and then an ankle injury again, the...

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...
