Oilers at Avalanche, G17, 09-10
In Quebec province the men go about their business in about the same way as guys do in this part of the country. Always time for a beer or a glance at a pretty girl, always time to talk some Canadian football (believe it or not, Quebec is the new heartland of Canadian football) and...

Oilers' Souray None Too Pleased With Ex's 'Erotic Revue'
I'm not sure, but I think this might be the first time we've linked to a Robin Leach story. Sheldon Souray and Angelica Bridges divorced two years ago, and she received full custody of their two children. But the Edmonton defenseman has gone to court to argue that her showing...

He was the center of the Brian Burke-Kevin Lowe feud two seasons ago. He was the main resident in Craig MacTavish's doghouse last season. Fans taunted him with "overpaid" chants and were lining up to purchase his ticket out of town. This season? Dustin Penner(notes) is...

Rangers at Oilers, G16, 09-10
I'm not sure if Jean Ratelle has a hockey stick or a divining rod, but this photo from 1967 is a beauty. Also in photo for the Rangers is Rod Gilbert and behind him appears to be Arnie Brown (but it might be Al MacNeil or Wayne Hillman). The Hab is the pocket rocket, Henri Richard...
Peckham Sent Down
Word tonight that the Edmonton Oilers have sent out Theo Peckham. He'll join the Springfield Falcons and won't make the trip west with the big club. Peckham didn't play well during this callup, owing to a pre-season injury and no training camp. Not to overstate the issue...
Is there Hope for Colin McDonald?
Bill James taught us about comparables (comps) and what they can tell us about specific prospects. If a #4 overall pick begins to sputter and make funny noises, Jason Bonsignore might be a comp. If the kid your team drafted in the middle of the first round starts to make ridiculous...
Dubnyk Emerging?
We've been talking lately about minor league save percentage and its ability to predict future success at the NHL level. Although there is no such thing as a perfect way to project these kids, save percentage has a strong correlation between superior AHL save percentage and future...
Oilers at Bruins, G14, 09-10
In this photo, Dave Schultz is saying hello to Wayne Cashman and Bobby Orr will get the puck. I think this is a SCF photo which makes it 1974.We could use a Cashman. He was rugged, skilled, a master corner man, had an ability to take and make a pass and he was durable. A nice modern...
Rangers halt skid on road with win over Oilers
Ales Kotalik had a goal and two assists, and the New York Rangers halted a four-game, road-losing streak with a 4-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
A Quality Taylor?
During MacT's 8 seasons as Oilers coach his team sent a lot of rookie defensemen to the majors. There were high picks and low picks and kids who didn't get picked in the draft. There were juniors and college seniors and puck movers and stay-at-homes. There were Canadians and...

A Few Home Truths
This is Dave Gagner with his son. In the fall of 2007 the Oilers kept Sam at the NHL level and this is year three of his career in the big leagues.If we use Sam Gagner's first NHL season as the start of a brand new day for the Edmonton Oilers, then this season is looking pretty...
Avalance at Oilers, G11, 09-10
The Edmonton Oilers may have some warts, some injuries and the entire case of 'One Flu over the Cuckoo's Nest' on their roster but they also have some very nice things.Dustin Penner is having a breakout season, the goaltending appears to be as good or better than a year...
Depth Chart July 2009
Steve Tambellini certainly isn't finished (this is not a playoff team) but it does look like the next move is some time in the distance. As opposed to the salary post of a few days ago (scroll down), I thought it might be an idea to list the roster in terms of depth at position...

It is ironic that on the night before the Rangers faceoff against the Edmonton Oilers with their new "associate" coach Tom Renney that 2 undrafted Ranger prospects went against each other. Like Tom Renney as the Ranger's coach or not; his contribution to the Rangers will...
