Lets Talk About America For a Second: This Week in U.S. History
This week in America, we get down and dirty in the roots of The U.S. We’ll talk Homestead and Honest Abe, The Spirit of St. Louis and America’s favorite fugitive couple, Bonnie and Clyde. Even though Gretzky, Messier and the Edmonton Oilers are Canada based, we’re also going to hit you with some puck and the beginning of an NHL dynasty.

Martin Gernat and the Edmonton Oil Kings look to last year’s WHL finals for this year’s challenge
The Edmonton Oilers need help on their blueline. And not soon, but now. While draft picks alone cannot remedy the situation, the team has been aware of the gaping holes in their depth and roster while making their selections on draft day year after year.
While defencemen tend to take longer to develop and to prepare themselves physically those who have been in the system for...
Richard Cloutier: Yakupov; Schultz Jilted in Calder Race
Nail Yakupov: Lead all rookies in points and goals. He's a natch to win the Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie, right? It became obvious by the last 10 games of the season that Yakupov is going to become a 40+ goal scorer per season in the NHL.
Or what about Justin Schultz? How many first-year NHL defensemen played top-line minutes the entire season? Schultz was tied...
Richard Cloutier: Professional Hockey Writers' Association is a Joke
So who's going to win the Calder Trophy as best rookie in the NHL this season, Nail Yakupov or Justin Schultz?
Try neither. They're not even on the ballot.
The winner will come from the following group: Brendan Gallagher, Jonathan Huberdeau or Brandon Saad. To be honest with you, I'm not sure if I'd put any of these three in my final group. Huberdeau, maybe...
Jordan Eberle, Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole star in a Coke Zero film
Coke Zero Canada has released an epic short film detailing the triumph of Kevin Wheeler, a hockey player looking to have his one shining moment. Wheeler, an amateur hockey player, is played by Edmonton Oilers forward Jordan Eberle.
The saga details the true story of Eberle...er, Wheeler, forgetting his gear before a big game. Hours away, Wheeler calls on a neighbor to pick...
About Last Night…Oilers Nail Canucks WIth Yakupov’s Hat Trick
Nail Yakupov recorded his first NHL hat trick in the Oilers’ final game of the season. Yakupov was all the offense Edmonton would need in a 7-2 thrashing of the Canucks. Jordan Eberle scored twice in the finale as well for the Oilers. Edmonton broke open a 2-2 game with five goals in less than four minutes.
SPIN: In an utterly meaningless game, Edmonton shows what they can be capable...

Richard Cloutier: The Final Countdown
I'll start this blog posting a video of what the song "The Final Countdown" should sound like at tonight's Oilers game:
Yep, the 2013 season if you're the Oilers is all over. We laughed. We cried. We cried some more. We threw things on the ice while sobbing uncontrollably. It was a very Oilers season.
I mentioned in yesterday's blog the concept...
(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?
Finally...
Richard Cloutier: 4 - 1st Round Picks + Coach Smyth?
The Oilers won tonight. Good idea? Not bad. It was good for Nail Yakupov, who had a couple goals and moved to the front of the line in the Calder Trophy race. We all know he'll never win it, because the people who vote on such things have a complete and total eastern bias. It will be Dougie Hamilton who wins the Rookie of the Year in 2013.
Yakupov and Hall together on a line...

Edmonton Oilers insist they're not a bunch of losers
The Edmonton Oilers feature many budding stars. Most of those young players have enjoyed notable team success at lower competitive levels.So don’t expect them to settle into a loser’s mentality in the NHL.

Tired Of Losing In Edmonton
from David Staples of The Cult Of Hockey,
There’s been a certain charm around the Edmonton Oilers tanking these past three seasons, the thought that better times were on the way, the notion that the Oilers were being smart with the tanking, finding the best and quickest route to bringing in premier talent to this NHL wasteland.
Today, much of that charm is lost. Tanking...

His sophomore year wasn't nearly as productive though, as he managed just four goals an d 20 assists in 40 games. Those 20 assists...
