Will Edmonton Trade One Of Their Young Guns?
from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
New Edmonton Oilers GM Craig MacTavish said Monday he’s up for a bold move (trade), which to me would mean dealing of one of their kids: Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle, Justin Schultz or Nail Yakupov but not, say, Sam Gagner, even if Gagner is almost a point-a-game player this season.
But I would say Hall, RNH...

Taylor Hall avoids suspension for two-handed slash chop
Apparently Taylor Hall is a Braves fan, because he's very much fond of doing a tomahawk chop when he has to. But not a typical one-handed one. Oh, no no no. Hall does nothing halfway. He uses two hands.
And a hockey stick (the chop is about 11 seconds in).
Look, I understand that Hall is probably upset about the fact that the Oilers' playoff chances are somewhere...

Richard Cloutier: You Just Don't Get It, Do You?
After the Oilers embarrassing 3-1 home loss against the Phoenix Coyotes, I listened to the Oilers Radio post-game show...A conversation between Dan Tencer and Rob Brown. They spoke about the Oilers playing without intensity for 40 minutes. They spoke about the bad goals Dubnyk let in. They spoke about the Coyotes having better defense. They spoke about Taylor Hall and Nail Yakupov...
Richard Cloutier: 7-5 Is Alive
Follow me on Twitter: @rdcloutier
12 games to go. The Oilers...on a five game winning streak. Did you see the game yesterday against the Calgary Flames? After the Oilers slept-walked through the first five minutes, they absolutely blew the Flames out. The top line of Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle combined for 11pts. Ridiculous.
The Oilers, who now are in...

Record night for Edmonton Oilers in victory over Canucks
On Saturday night, in a 4-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, the Edmonton Oilers played what I would call their best team game since the rebuild began. it was a record-setting night as the young Oilers scored on each of their first three shots in just 2:43 of game-play. It was the fastest three goals from the start of the game in Edmonton Oilers franchise history, breaking the...

Richard Cloutier: What's Worse: The Coaching, the Players or the Management?
The Oilers sorta-lost to the Chicago Blackhawks tonight. Only "sorta" because they managed a regulation tie...One point out of a possible two. Perhaps not a bad result against the best team in the NHL.
The Oilers could have won this game. The Hawks didn't exactly dominate the play. So why didn't the Oilers win?
1. No Taylor Hall - Without him, the Oilers have...
